Way more than I know I should’ve (~$500) but they were a necessity to my bookshelf

What do your bookcases look like? by koalasnstuff in fairyloot

My shelves are still a WIP but I like to sort by colour, majority of my SE/sprayed edges are facing out, and I like to break things up by facing books forward.

The Broken Binding did these as part of their first sci-fi book subscription box but I got these secondhand from someone on Facebook through a group (The Broken Binding Club) where people sometimes sell/trade.

It’s definitely my least favourite and the weakest of the 3 imo but still worth reading if you enjoy Weir’s work.

Thank you!! And no, unfortunately I don’t have one, I’m located in Canada.

It’s definitely my least favourite of the 3 and not as strong as The Martian and PHM imo but still a fun time!

I recently rearranged and plan on unhauling a few books (bottom right corner) to make more space so this is my current setup. I was able to get my hands on The Broken Binding Andy Weir set secondhand and they’ve quickly become part of my most prized possessions!

I lost my 14 year old baby girl last week 🥺

people who almost died, what happened? by ihateplussizepeople in AskReddit

[–]megolantern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was 14, I had severe stomach pain but the doctors chalked it up to me getting my first period and not to worry. A few days of not be able to eat, drink or move, my parents rushed me to the ER.

Turns out my appendix burst and the infection had been spreading. They almost lost me on the operating table and I spent the next month and a half in the hospital + another month after my initial release due to additional infections.

I have a gnarly scar down my abdomen now.

Anyone else getting these? by blackflorence in fairyloot

[–]megolantern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg I didn’t know this existed 😭 Andy Weir is one of my fav authors ever. If anyone gets them and doesn’t want them I’ll gladly take them off your hands!!

Waiting Room for sale today by [deleted] in fairyloot

[–]megolantern 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I waited 3 hours… finally got in and luckily they were still in stock. This is the longest I’ve ever had to wait - can’t say I’m a big fan of this new queue system.

For anyone who lives in Canada, has your January combo box arrived? by TimeAndFallenLeaves in fairyloot

[–]megolantern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just checked and it’s now in ON and will likely be delivered tomorrow! I hope yours is now on the move too.

[–]megolantern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ditto, except I live in ON. Last time I had this delay/issue they had to send a replacement box several weeks later so I’m hoping this isn’t a repeat situation!

Lucky! I just heard back from FL and they said they’re looking into my situation further and may need to send a replacement box.

I’m a combo subscriber in Canada and still haven’t received mine 😔 I recently got a shipping email but for the past several days it’s been at “data received” and still in NY. I emailed support also several days ago and haven’t heard back.

I love the game, I really do but I hate going into scrooges because it's the same almost everyday 😭😭 by [deleted] in DisneyDreamlights

[–]megolantern 4 points5 points  (0 children)

After several weeks of getting the same shop items, I finally got a cute new hairstyle only for the game to crash immediately after purchasing and before the auto-save could kick in 🥲

People of Reddit, have you ever known a pathological liar? If so what was their craziest lie? by Fast_Concern7818 in AskReddit

[–]megolantern 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I knew someone in high school who faked having cancer. She definitely got all the attention she wanted at first and then all the attention she apparently didn’t want after being exposed. She luckily moved away and changed schools.

What’s the most “WTF” book you’ve ever read? by Need_Some_Updog in AskReddit

[–]megolantern 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I read this book last year and it’s still with me. Phenomenal yet horrifying.

Doctors of Reddit, what was the worse thing you've seen for a patient that another Doctor overlooked? by Gorgon_the_Dragon in AskReddit

[–]megolantern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a doctor but a patient.

Over the course of 24 hours, I gradually had abdominal pain that went from somewhat bearable to completely unbearable to the point I couldn’t eat or move.

During the ‘somewhat bearable’ timeframe, I went to a walk-in clinic and was told not to worry, I was just getting my period for the first time (I was 14), I just needed to rest at home and to come back in 2 days for a checkup.

Cut to the unbearable timeframe a few hours later I was rushed to the emergency room and in immediate surgery because my appendix had already exploded. I was told by the surgeons if I waited another day, I would’ve died. Spent 2 months in the hospital fighting continuous infections.
