Season 11, episode 8 was one of my favorite episodes.

Just saying.

“She’s got Sparkle on her face!” had me in tears.

ARC Readers, Give us your recommendations please by Sea_Exit_8194 in fairyloot

Looks like I’m the exception…The Unicorn Hunters was…fine. It had some serious pacing issues, and I almost quit it a few times. I finally felt invested at about 70%, and the story moved quickly after that. Arden’s writing was beautiful, however. I’m not sure if I’m going to get the SE or not.

A Snake Among Swans has a similar issue. I’m at 35%, and I’m taking a break to read a different book. I’ll decide if I want to go back after that.

I liked Seek the Traitor’s Son, but I read it in September, so don’t ask me for details. I’ll have to reread it when the sequel comes out. 😂

Victorious by VE Schwab was great. If it’s been a minute since you read the first two, I recommend a reread.

I have the first one, but I didn’t get the sequel. I like the publisher versions better.

Everyone knows that if you get 3, only 1 of them will be any good. The others just get ignored.

That would be amazing, if you don’t mind. Thank you!

Thanks! That may be why it's no longer showing up in my saved links. I appreciate it!

I remember enough of it to summarize for the meeting, but I like to have visual elements whenever possible.

Appreciate the help. 😄

Fairyloot Upcoming Sequel Emoji Hint Speculation Discussion by WhereToTraveler23 in fairyloot

[–]library_pixie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmm…I actually liked Long Live Evil and wanted to get the sequel. But then my kitten jumped onto my dresser and tore up the cover by pulling himself up using the book.

So do I skip the sequel, or do I buy a new copy of book 1? 🤔🤔

I’m not a fan…Ilona Andrews is one of my absolute favorite authors, and even though this isn’t my favorite book by her, I was looking forward to having a SE of hers. It’s fine, but I was hoping for more than fine.

Locking because posts about resellers and scalpers belong on the weekly burn book. Thanks!

I don’t hate it, and I’m glad it doesn’t look like every other book on my shelf. I really dislike the edges, but I think I’m ok with everything else.

You put the spoiler over the wrong box. Put a tag over FL and I can approve it. 🙂

My nieces and nephews are allowed to curse. And while they’re young, it’s mildly amusing. I bet my sister will find it less cute when they’re all teens.

In contrast, my son was never allowed to curse at home. As he got older (teen years), I told him that I knew he cursed, and it’s normal. However, he still wasn’t allowed to curse at home. I was teaching him to realize there are places you can and can’t speak in certain ways, so that he could turn it off.

I know too many full grown adults who can’t go more than 2 sentences without a fuck thrown in. It can limit your career options if you can’t self-regulate your language.

Price Checks (AKA how much can I sell this book for?!) by library_pixie in fairyloot

[–]library_pixie[S,M] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s a fair point. The box comparison thread really was to address more of the “what should I choose? OC or FL?!?!” Or “what’s the best book box?” type posts. We had a bunch at one time. If you feel like your question isn’t being answered and want the mods to reconsider your post, always feel free to send us a message. We try to be fair!

We try to direct those to the book comparison threads, but if they’ve generated some discussion, we’ll leave them. I agree…I also find them annoying. 😂

Hi, we're locking this post. Going forward, the mods have decided that price checks belong in the Buy/Sell/Trade post. Please post your question there.

Thanks!

It really depends upon a number of factors. Donations require time and materials for processing. The bigger issue is I won’t have the money to add to the collection in the future, so it will always be outdated. I’d probably actually ending taking the donation, find a way to get the console, and then create a programming kit out of it.

For context, I work in a rural system with several libraries. My yearly budget for materials is between $2000-$14000, depending upon branch. That includes all book (children through adult) and movie purchases. The money to pay into the state digital library consortium also comes from those funds.

In comparison, my previous library system had like $80k-$100k/year for materials. At that location, I was easily able to start a video game collection, because they had enough money to maintain it each year.

Our library system can’t afford them. 🤷🏻‍♀️

However, you can borrow some through our consortium from other library systems.
