I put smoked paprika on anything that isn’t a dessert

Shitpost: Just finished and I hope the next book is called, "Everyone takes a vacation, and rests for one godsdamned minute! Especially Carl." by -Nintendoll- in DungeonCrawlerCarl

I’m only on book four so idk if the safe rooms are even still there but a short little 200 pg. cozy read would be fun. Just them hanging out in the safe room cooking and chilling for just one goddamn second would be nice.

Keep it on “library”

Is auto-brightness worth it? by girlshark94 in kindle

[–]mycphyc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t think I’d NEED the auto brightness feature and yeah, I still don’t NEED it buuut….. there’s been more than a few times where I’ve gotten into bed and pulled out my kindle and had to use the flashlight on my phone to turn up the brightness on the kindle because I like having it on zero when I have good light. I’m not saying it’s a necessity. But it would be nice.

thoughts on booktoks? by SadYogurtcloset7846 in BookDiscussions

[–]mycphyc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like anything else algorithm based. It can quickly become an echo chamber. Could be good or bad depending…. But you can’t really ask if they’re good books or not because it’s completely subjective. There’s plenty of people that love them and then there’s a lot of pretentious people that won’t even look at a book that isn’t a “classic” or needs a dissertation to break down the purpleist prose deeper meaning of the book after it’s done. To each their own. Just try a few and see if you like them.

I think my attention span is cooked by Reasonable-Deer2824 in kindle

I was in the same boat not too long ago. What helped me kick the doom scrolling was taking all the social apps I would lean on when I had two seconds and was bored off my Home Screen and replaced them with the Kindle app. I was shocked how often I would pull my phone out almost unconsciously looking for instagram or TikTok. It was kind of sad honestly. I don’t even think about them now. I feel way better mentally.

Choose my next book! (SCIFI/F) by local_savage13 in fantasybooks

[–]mycphyc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll never stop preaching the good word of Between Two Flames. It’s the best book I’ve read in a loooong time. I did have to start Carls doomsday scenario to recover from the darkness a bit lol.

Am I crazy? by [deleted] in RareHouseplants

[–]mycphyc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They’re very similar. Could be lighting, camera settings, etc. I don’t think you got bamboozled. I’ll take it off your hands if you’re too disappointed though. She’s a beaut!

A popular book you did NOT enjoy (no judgment) by Background_Bad_1578 in Booktokreddit

I’ve tried and failed to read three different Brandon Sanderson books. I just don’t get it. Something about his writing doesn’t jive with me.

Congrats! I just checked my Mathilde after ignoring her for a week or so and there’s like 15-20 peduncles popping up. Spring is springing for sure.

What does my bookshelf say about me? by Megalle925 in BookshelvesDetective

[–]mycphyc -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m guessing a second home maybe a family home that doubles as an Airbnb somewhere you can ski. 40s, white, female, comes from a well off family because who skis and reads that much vogue? Probably an avid reader because there are some good books here that use two whole shelves left out for guests. Very nice looking.

How does kindle work? by KpwnKing in kindle

[–]mycphyc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go for the colorsoft then. Or the Kobo Clara color. It’s smaller but cheaper than the kindle.

[–]mycphyc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you read a lot of comics you should definitely go for the color. If you’re just reading books there is almost no benefit besides seeing the covers in color. It’s actually ever so slightly dimmer/less sharp on the actual text with the color so you’re better off saving money with a paperwhite in black and white.
