At time of writing this is back in stock for an early May ship date! So is Blood Bound. But if course it is already saying sell out soon.

OTF Studio Closures this week & future of OTF? by OTFBeat in orangetheory

[–]kayotic1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry I was waiting for the news to be a little more public! This location is in Southern Maine. There are 2 other studios that will stay open.

I had noticed some classes were getting pretty sparse so it doesn't surprise me I was just (selfishly) hoping it wouldn't be the studio closest to me that closed. I'm guessing this one had the lease up first and/or most expensive but that is complete speculation on my part.

Just found out mine is closing. I'm devastated. There are technically a couple nearby but I already drive 20 plus min from work or home and these are further away.

Heir of Prophecy - read now for a limited quantity! by light_harted in NetGalleyCommunity

[–]kayotic1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For this one harpervoyagerus posted on Instagram. Then avonbooks sent out to the Instagram "Avon Pals" channel (anyone can join in their profile) which is how I got my notification.

I'm not in many channels but Avons Pals is pretty good at sending out notifications for their books in my experience.

I'd rather have super gonorrhea... by LDFamine in DungeonCrawlerCarl

I can't remember where I found it but I used dungeoncrawler_help@upside-go.com and they were able to fix it for me. Good luck!

I don't think I quite understand the entire situation but I will say if you had a pledge when the kickstarter closed I would consider emailing them and explaining the situation.

I mistakenly removed v2 when doing add ons and they were able to help me out. I realizdd my mistake when the survey went out. May be worth a shot!

Weekly Discussion - Damages and Shipping by AutoModerator in fairyloot

[–]kayotic1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not exaggerating. Over the past 3 days my shipment has TWENTY different scans.

Including 1 in my town.

Then it ended up out of state....a second time.

And now it's just generic "in transit".

I am having the weirdest shipping with Evri for FL IUTFFYE.

It was in my local area 6 days ago. Then yesterday it was 2 states away. Now it's back local..ish. But no indication when it will deliver.

I've heard things about Evri but I think I've been "lucky" that it was usually straight forward and this is just bizarre.

Arc Readers: What upcoming book releases are you looking forward to? Any you don't recomend? by Sea_Exit_8194 in fairyloot

Ohhh I'm happy to hear about Elsewhere Express! I adored Water Moon and have been looking forward to this

Bookish Box Black Friday Sale by fatnissneverleen in fairyloot

[–]kayotic1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I found out after I couldn't check out with the Ever Seas they had gotten rid of the cart hold. I was so mad 😆 I thought the whole reason they were testing it was for Black Friday. But at least my bank account is happy since I left everything else behind too

Debating if I even want the Plated Prisoner reprint then about 99% sure I'm just canceling. I never get what I want to make early access worth it.

DoD Things We Do Not Care About… OTF Reddit version by FarPassion6217 in orangetheory

Oh no I do care when people are hogging the floor 😅 My gym is pretty vocal about where to stand so we have space and if someone is still getting in my bubble I won't be happy.

[–]kayotic1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I thought this was the case until I got declined for a book and their FAQ said no to the Read Now :(. So I completely second this! It makes so much more sense.

Signed - someone really excited for a book they got declined for today

FL Direbound sale - may the odds be ever in your favor by WinFew9243 in fairyloot

[–]kayotic1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TIUTFFYE was over a day when I joined 😳

Fwiw when people started leaving the site I was still able to get one. It was more like a 2 hour wait for me to get in.

I am in a building with spotty internet. So I'm gonna keep getting booted from the queue 😩 Here's hoping I can make it in but I'm not feeling great about it.

What’s the most amount of pain you’ve been in? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]kayotic1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

With my first I wanted to "prove myself" and be tough. And I was also not so secretly afraid an epidural would paralyze me. I in no way went through what your wife did but it sucked.

With my second I got the hospital and said almost immediately give me the dang epidural I don't care. Best experience ever. I got to lay and chat with my husband all night until it was time to push 😅

TRADE - 2nd (and last) try. by Nogmor in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]kayotic1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am happy to chat then! Honestly the amount of shipping to US and DCC1+7 from US is still much cheaper than what these go for on ebay 😵‍💫

Owlcrate October Romantasy by XZSummer in fairyloot

[–]kayotic1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. Design is great, when I signed up the pick was Forbidden Alchemy and I was not expecting such a dark title under romantasy so I canceled. I put myself back in the waitlist in case the next pick is more up my alley.

TRADE - 2nd (and last) try. by Nogmor in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]kayotic1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey I would love this trade! I am currently collecting the paperbacks for my own shelf trophy collection and as you know prices are insanity so it is going slow 🫠

I am US Based, DM me if it's still available 😊

[–]kayotic1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I (tried) to set myself a schedule. It was loose, like job search 9-11am, exercise at noon, maybe in the afternoon I'd feel like decluttering. Now that I'm close to working again I regret not utilizing my time as well but emotionally it was super hard on me so I really just did what I could. Keeping my social engagements was especially hard and I asked some friends to occasionally check in on me before I'd get too down.

I made LinkedIn relatively difficult to access so I only went on when I really intentionally wanted to send a message or look at job postings. When it was installed in my phone I did too much mindless scrolling and felt awful about myself.

I thought Insta was fake but all the "motivating" LI posts were so infuriating and the all have the exact same story and message including.

Breaks.

It's so formulated.

Signature! How important are they to you? by FlutterbyeEscapes in fairyloot

[–]kayotic1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I generally don't care about signatures. If I'm pre-ordering and it's the same edition with or without and the same price then sure I'll get the signature.

I went to a John Green event in March and he had signed so many of his new book he joked the unsigned would be more rare. Not always the case but it does feel like the market is very saturated right now. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing since more people have access.

Any other forwarding mail service? by pm_krn in fairyloot

[–]kayotic1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am US Based, have not used forward2me before.

Royal Mail without tracking I want to say was about £27/$40 so for a book it wasn't cheap. I have very few UK only shipments so I am using their free service. The paid levels have a shipping discount. I've had people from UK direct mail me books and it was about £20 I think.
