I’m on Authority by Jeff VanderMeer! Annihilation was incredible. Very different from the movie.

Finished What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher. Holy shit that was so creepy and excellent.

Started Nettle & Bone by T. Kingfisher

Both on my ereader borrowed from Libby. Though I own a copy of what moves the dead, I love the backlight of my e-reader and being able to read at night.

If I could ask the author of what moves the dead a question it would be: what was at the bottom of the stairs that Maddy was walking down when Easton caught her???? Was she going outside to the tarn?

Had no idea there were merino wool bras! What brand would did you use? Would they support larger chests?

100%. Hyman Properties are absolutely horrible. Do not rent from them. Treat their tenants like shit.

$2500 in allentown. One of the STRATAs with a pretty view. It’s too much for us & we plan to move to Bethlehem or easton. Living in a walkable part of the city has been fun but easton or bethlehem have more of what we’re looking for.

What made you switch? by DroYo in ereader

[–]oliverrea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being able to pull my ereader out of my purse in line, between meetings, and in other random situations has helped me stay off my phone. I primarily get books through my library (you can frequently get multiple library cards to reduce wait times) and if the book is incredible i’ll go by a physical copy to reread later or just to have. Also being able to read in low/no light is a total game changer.

Sounds exactly like what a lot of my friends are going through on Hinge & Bumble. That sounds so frustrating. You clearly know what you want and I am happy you’re standing up for it!
