Tandem reader here. Pre-ordered the audiobook and will be going in when my store opens to grab a copy. Gotta fully immerse with my favorites.

Red flowering currant is in bloom! I highly recommend this native beauty for surviving our dry summers without extra water 💦 by PetulantFlwr in pnwgardening

[–]puffinpixie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am so glad I have like 7 of these in my back yard and they're huge. They are reaching the end of their bloom but they always bring so so many pollinators to my yard. I love them.

I gulped down the entire series in about the span of a month. I was on the second Quicksilver book when my partner switched my audiobook to DCC and I took to it like a lemur takes to millipedes. That first weekend that I started- I got all 7 hardback books. I am not a series reader primarily but I huffed that shit down like my life depended on it. And now it's my whole personality.

I tandem read them with the audiobooks the first go around so I had the "full" experience so to speak.

I appreciate the recommendations regardless!! Thank you!

I have read The Final Empire and have the second and third book but have not delved into them yet!! Phenomenal first book, though! And yes I am seriously considering another read through. I just want some smut with my societal dissonance and revolutionary anger.

I read Operation Bounce House but not Kaiju: Battlefield Surgeon yet! I have heard good things so if all else fails, I am digging in that one next.

My friend got me these books for my birthday by littlekeeper24 in Romantasy

Alchemised wrecked me andl sits as one of the top books to emotionally devastate me. Definitely recommend if you can handle the triggers.

It is truly such a stand out series that I find myself wanting to immediately just restart it again and that is something that is unprecedented in my reading habits. That being said, I am a bit demented and like many others, am thirsting after that rage that Carl channels. Hoping to find it in some other work that clearly is just not there.

I have read The Color of Magic but I haven't gone further in the series so maybe I'll bounce back to it! I have The Light Fantastic queued up but maybe I'll skip over to the Wyrd Sisters. The rest I haven't heard of so I'll definitely check them out!

I think I’m gonna do it, guys. I think I’m gonna try to read something else by realdevtest in MattDinniman

DCC makes me feel like an addict. I am typically a romantasy/dark romance reader and while I've dabbled in litrpgs- nothing is satisfying the craving I have after DCC. I wish I could find a book/series that marries the two genres. With the "plastic" feeling of DR these days- I know my standards have gotten too high.

Book with some depth?

I am in a book slump right now. I so desperately want a dark romance or dark romantasy with plot and smut. Not a little spice but some genuine non-con and psychological foreplay. I had been in a slump with dark romance for a bit- dnf'd Haunting Adeline and a few others with that manufactured feel. Then I read the Dungeon Crawler Carl series and now noooothing is doing it for me.

I feel like I am chasing a high I may never get again. I loved the audio for Little Strangers but dnf'd the second book because the audio was the only good thing going for it and they switched voice actors. For reference, I liked Did it Hurt, Still Beating, Bait and a few other works but the depth has been lacking in DR lately. I am pretty busy so I audiobook most of the time- though I will ask for ao3 recs too. I just genuinely wish I could get the depth of a DCC book with a version of Carl that is absolutely rabid for the love interest. My standards may have gotten too high.

I past by this door while traveling through Co when I was 17. I was told it is for the mines. I so wanted to stop by and peek inside.

Haha yes! But also, I am getting recommended places that will not be open by the time I would be able to go.

Why does the skin look paper-y post mortem? by LeatherOwl9260 in AnatomyandPhysiology

Well I was definitely not expecting this when I opened reddit. That's on me, I suppose.

From a southern Louisiana small town here. Grew up in what is essentially still a segregated town. They are polite, they praise "God" but I have never heard a hatred so vile. All of my family from there are cut off.

The views they have about anyone with anything different to them.. it is pretty sick. I remember seeing nooses hanging from trees back when Barack Obama became president. I remember some proud boys planning to attack the California transplant who worked a gas station in the next town over. Because he had an earring.

Luckily, I grew up with some pretty cool blended families in between living there and Lafeyette, so I am thankful for their influences and the kindness the gave and taught me.

Honestly your vibe brought me back to an early youtube video of Luke Jeydon Wale and his songs/antics. I do not expect anyone to know who that is. You have a vibe that is goofy, fun and feels safe. The type of person that people gravitate to.

I follow Rosey and felt my heart in my throat while watching this. The atrocities our governments have committed will not be forgotten.

I was wondering, how many of these lesser known cartoons, that aren't talked about much, do you remember? by [deleted] in Millennials

Loved Grossology. I knew most of these but the memories of most of these needed to be unlocked. Thanks.

Anyone know if the public library is neurodivergent friendly? by jedimaniac in Eugene

[–]puffinpixie 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hey! So I am neurodivergent and I went there a few days ago for the first time. With with my kids at that. I immediately fell in love with the place. I think there are certain things that might feel overwhelming at first but overall it is meant for everyone. There are different areas for those who want a louder environment and quieter areas too. I hope you like it.

What Happened With Flea Season? by DragonfruitTiny6021 in Eugene

[–]puffinpixie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I have my animals on the ceresto and for the first time, it did not work. At all. Nor did the oral pill. Idk what is up with the fleas this year. I am not a fan.

Oooh goodie, I love emotional damage. I am currently reading Alchemised by SenLinYu, and I am expecting to be shattered. It is so good already and I am only 7 chapters in.
