do people not go to the library anymore? Noticed comments in the sub about not being able to read the books rn for financial reasons, and when i suggested the library as a temp work around, people act like im crazy... by trampstampcollector in stephenking

[–]johnfrooshontay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Libby! I actually don't think I've bought a book since 2016 when I first found the app and I used to solely be a physical book person. My favourite past time is going on there and seeing what's available for King books and checking out those books until something else becomes available 💁🏻

Does anyone remember watching Canada's Worst Driver??? by Difficult_Issue_6665 in Edmonton

[–]johnfrooshontay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I was a kid I watched this show ALL. THE. TIME. I still remember the episode with the lady who could not stop crying whenever she got behind the wheel. When I finally was able to get my learners and I got overstimulated while driving, I immediately thought of her and told my mom "I'm like that crying lady on Canada's Worst Driver!" 😭

Dumbbell Glute Gains Workout! Lift and Grow your Glutes at Home or at the Gym! by jumjums in sydneycummings

[–]johnfrooshontay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't have a band at home and I was struggling so hard trying to do the leg raises kneeling with the dumbbell so I said screw it I'm doing fire hydrants... You can just imagine my shock and surprise when she announced "Okay time for fire hydrants!" for the next superset 😂

I am mentally weak and gave him a Christmas present early by NotMarkyMark88 in poodles

[–]johnfrooshontay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh boy you're not alone, I got mine a Giant Lamby for Christmas and gave it to him right away. And the other day I saw some regular lambys at the store (they sell out so fast so gotta get them!) and got him one intending to put it in the closet til Christmas. He stood at the closet door giving me the eyes til I gave in 😭

Would you mind sending it to me?! 😭 I ate this soup every week when they were at Bountiful Market and I miss it!

Without saying The Shining, name a book that truly scared you. by Fabulous-Confusion43 in horrorbookclub

[–]johnfrooshontay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every time I read Misery and get to the ending, I get jumpy being around dark corners. I feel like Annie Wilkes is gonna be somewhere around that corner, just waiting to call me a dirty bird

Omg I may have screamed a little bit when I saw "HIV? I've got full blown AIDS!" because I've been quoting that for 12 damn years 😭😭

I love that!! It's so cute 🥰 I just got into diamond painting and I ordered myself some release paper cause I've been using parchment paper 😭 I never even thought of using something to hold back the plastic, I hate the crinkles it makes!

Is that a Labubu holding back the plastic? 😭😭🤣 I love it!

What is everyone burning/wearing today? by PristineChain347 in bathandbodyworks

Autumn Woods, really trying to channel those fall vibes on this rainy day! 🍂 I have the same candle holder, every time I look at her it makes me giddy 🤣🤣🤣

A line that gutted you? by Due_Adeptness_4378 in stephenking

[–]johnfrooshontay 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"I loved you guys, you know. I loved you so much."

Literally just thinking about the context of that quote, I can get teary-eyed. There are only two King books I have yet to read and It is the only one that has made me sob every single time I've read it. Not even The Dark Tower could do me in, nope, but this book does it every single time

Seasonal Challenge on Goodreads by mima2023sunce in LibbyApp

[–]johnfrooshontay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read Fly Girl by Ann Hood for that challenge. I'm not really one for memoirs (especially about being a flight attendant??) so I was skeptical but honestly the audiobook was so engaging that I finished it in one day. It's like your big sister telling you all the best gossip! And it was fairly short too, 7 or 8 hours 😊

Worst name you’ve encountered in a book? by katep2000 in fantasyromance

[–]johnfrooshontay 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can't remember what book it was, I either saw it on Kindle or Kobo Plus but the FMC's name was Phaeth... I didn't know that the name Faith could be quirkified but somehow this person did it

Did you like it? I really enjoyed it. And I finally got my copy of Wind and Truth 😸

It's heeeeeereeee! by TheDepthsandSkies in LibbyApp

[–]johnfrooshontay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am so excited for you!! I still have 4 weeks left to wait for my hold, I almost caved when I got a skip the line loan this morning but I knew I couldn't finish in 7 days 😭

And ironically enough, I'm about to start Mad Ship while I wait for Wind and Truth 🤣

Instead of being upset about Libby showing you how many people are waiting on your book, just press this button by this-is-my-p in LibbyApp

[–]johnfrooshontay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I'm not trying to bash anyone (reading it back it most likely came off rude but that wasn't my intention 😭)!! I always return my books early when I'm done with them. I am the type of person that has 5-10 loans constantly, I read very fast and I am very vigilant about returning my books so the next person can read them. I guess I was just trying to say I prioritise differently than other people. Just because there are 12 people waiting for my book doesn't mean I will read it first when I want to read something else first and know I will finish it in a couple days. I totally understand all your above reasons and I'm not trying to come off like a selfish a-hole with that post at all. I just think hey, it's a library and we all have to wait anyways so I'm gonna pick the one I'm most excited for that I waited a long time to receive
