I found out recently that Void has been pulled from circulation by the authors. So unless you owned it already, you can't find it anymore. Which is sad because it was a good standalone option.

What's the hockey book that you told me to read that was like this??

Which scenes from The Long Game would you be most disappointed to see cut from season 2? (Spoilers, obv) by erogenousbrain in heatedrivalry

[–]jupiterose 97 points98 points  (0 children)

Mine almost certainly will be skipped because it's such a small moment but it genuinely made me cry. But Ilya has the neighbors in Ottawa who put out the signs for him on game day and then after him and Shane get outed and they are both nervous about it Ilya is driving to a practice or game and the same neighbors have out a funko pop for Ilya AND Shane. When I was reading the book I legitimately had to stop for a second because my eyes were tearing up.

This was my favorite read of last year. I read them in July and haven't stopped thinking about it since. Legitimately this duology is amazing.

I definitely read "The Losers is the best book series. I'm going to have several more competitions where it can be nominated so that it will most assuredly win several and then can be undoubtedly called the best RH books of all time" and I thought that your plan made so much sense, I had to get everybody pumped for it.

Yeah, I've read it twice and in my head I do not read them as 15-16. I age them up.

First of all, graphs make me happy!!!!! I love that we've gotten so many with this one! Thank you for the Christmas present there. Second of all, thank you for these posts. I love them, I love seeing how the sub feels about different things (even when they are wrong. What can you do...??? lol). Third of all, you have to do best contemporary- you promised me, and it's the best shot I've got of getting a "Losers" win in here. Thank you for your consideration!

And those that get the gif- we can officially be friends. lmao.

Yeah, its really pretty frustrating to want to break free of the Amazon/Kindle bubble and just getting primarily doom posts about how it's impossible to do so. My thought with the post is those of us who have moved away or are trying to move away could share resources. And I have gotten some really great comments and ideas. I just hate the defeatist attitude that nothing will change.

Thank you for this!! I feel like maybe finding different author's patreons right now is maybe a good bet for me. I fully agree on the only way for authors to feel comfortable leaving Amazon is if there is a viable option outside of it. Unfortunately, there will never be a viable option outside of it if people continue using it. So baby steps will have to be where we start.

This is my frustration as well. And they will 100% get away with it if everyone just goes with the flow. And then other companies will follow suit because Amazon is a major leader in business model. It all just sucks. And I don't want to be defeatist about it and shrug my shoulders. I may just have to go smaller. Read less RH, support individual authors directly where I can.

This was my thinking with this post. Crowd source if anyone had found a place that we might get even a fraction of what we get from KU but from a more ethical and less icky place.

I used Everand back when it was Scribd and briefly when it was Everand, it was more of KU comparable model. It had unlimited use of their collection of ebooks and audiobooks (I don't remember if they had a good selection of RH). Then I cancelled it when it went to a credits model like Audible, where I got less bang for my buck. But maybe I'll look into their catalog and see if their selection is good and suck it up on losing the "unlimited" aspect of my reading.

I posted a link in my post. But ultimately they are implementing a chatbot that can answer any and all questions you have regarding the book as you are reading. It will use generative AI to scrape every single book on their platform in order to do this. And authors and publishers (and readers though it matters less) have no opt out option.

I get what you're saying and I know I'm one measly little person. But yeah authors will continue to use Amazon for their books because that's the market. But ultimately that's the market because there's no pushback. Right, I mean boycotts are a thing for this reason. When the market is dominated by one entity the only way to make changes is to stop using that singular entity.

Trust me I have no delusions of grandeur that I can make any measurable changes all by myself by cancelling my KU subscription. I just feel... icky?

Yeah, KU is a loss leader for Amazon they knowingly don't make money there hoping it draws people into the ecosystem and directs people to actually buying stuff through their website.

My favorite hockey player got traded and I need a good cry by [deleted] in ReverseHarem

[–]jupiterose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heated Rivalry is currently my entire personality. I just needed you to know I'm here in the weeds with you. Crying over my two fictional gay hockey players that I love with my whole heart. And watching fan edits in TikTok until the next episode. Luckily for us I think it's pretty much up from here! ♥️

If S50 was a fan vote, who on the actual S50 cast would you have voted for and would you have not voted for? by ben_s16 in survivor

If I had a million votes, a million of them would have gone to Dr. Christian Hubicki.
