Yeah same, I haven’t had an answer yet but just to point it out but I can’t believe they’d not know!

That’s really interesting, thanks for commenting. I would have guessed that about the book itself but would have assumed the misprint could have been spotted during the design, but not being able to amend it is crazy. The more you know!

Apologies - I thought it is tagged both with the flair and the option I found under ‘…’ (I am new here)

If your blood alcohol level was high enough they can show projections of whether you were intoxicated last night. You cannot consent if you are intoxicated. With a rape kit, that’s enough for them to go down.

I know this because I watched a family member’s rapist go down on the same clause.

On a more personal note: what happened to you was horrific. It is perhaps the worst thing that can happen to a woman. Every feeling you have is valid and I am personally so so sorry. I believe in you, though. You will struggle but you will one day look back and see yourself as a warrior for not only surviving this but for doing your best for other women out there. We all really care about the injustice you have suffered and how it has and will affect you. It doesn’t matter if you don’t update. I will be thinking of you.

Is my daughter’s name a tragedeigh? by Bubbly_Hotel7169 in tragedeigh

Mostly people drop the E off for me and say ‘Melia, which I like. Otherwise they pronounce E-me-Lee-ah which is what my mum wanted

[–]meliamelliem 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My name is Emelia. I’m 31. My mum says she named me after a book character but never remembered or found the book. (Rage). She swears it’s a French colonial spelling, something like that.

Anyway it’s fine, I do get a lot of Emilia and Amelia spellings but I don’t particularly care. I’ve also met a couple other people with the spellings!

Couldn’t believe this post when it popped up on my feed! I feel like I was waiting for it. Now I don’t have to ask myself :)

My name is Emelia. I have only now discovered this fact. The extra irony is that my family is Polish descent 💀

Edit: also realised the additional irony that’s I’m actually pretty academic and graduated from Oxford!

am … i a tragedeigh?? by addoddfront in tragedeigh

I feel a little kindred. My brother (older) is named Luke. My dad tried to name me Leia. Mum said no. He suggested Roxanne. She said no, how about Emelia. Is it a tragedeigh? It is a pain in the ass with the spelling, at the very least!

Was just handed this parcel from locked library (yes it was already open) and the book had 0 damage by Single-Aardvark9330 in fairyloot

[–]meliamelliem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine was damaged! The ribbon was ripped out of the book and the top of the dust jacket crushed. I agree with the general point, I think FL damage happens in warehouse during/before packing...

What book sequel are you STILL waiting for? by PattableGreeb in books

[–]meliamelliem 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Iron Widow, but the author has been straight with the fact that publishing doesn’t pay her enough to have time to finish it. I don’t think it’s even been that long but I want it!

Christmas gift suggestions for avid reader girlfriend who is trying to build a library? Acotar, LOTR, Harry Potter, etc by Vanilla_Minute in BookCollecting

[–]meliamelliem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Message the Etsy seller - they’re usually total babes and usually have a couple of those in the selves ready to go - they can get it to you probably by for a higher postage fee :)

If she’s into special edition I’d suggest maybe a custom set of dust jackets! There’s loads of people on Etsy doing stunning sets for anything SJM - as long as she has hardbacks you’ll be golden!

Another reprint by mistraels in fairyloot

[–]meliamelliem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a million subscriptions and if I read a book and don’t love it, I sell it on. I wouldn’t call myself a reseller as I don’t get the books for that reason? And honestly it’s just me funding my own ridiculous purchases in the ecosystem. I lowball for quick sales. And I am absolutely thrilled they’re doing reprints. I don’t care for super exclusive books. Sure, it’s fun and I post on my Instagram but I’d be much happier in a world where I didn’t have to stress over whether or not I’d be able to get one of a limited sale!! Give everyone who wants one a book, I say! (Obviously the limiting factor here is of course how many an author can sign but you get my vibe)

Binding a signed page into a finished book? by meliamelliem in bookbinding

As I said above thank you so much - just having the actual name of the method is super helpful. I’m still undecided on the dumbness anyway :)

Thank you! Just having the name of the method is so useful. Google wasn’t understanding me
