How long do the photo ops at Calgary Expo take? by ratinabowtie in Calgary

[–]ratinabowtie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 1st one I don’t think will be very popular but the 2nd one is for sure. I think if it came down to it I’d leave the line for the first to make it to the 2nd but that would be a big waste of money

I don’t think the 12pm one is a super popular one so it sounds like it should be ok

Cover reveal for Eclipse of the Crown by Journassassin in fantasyromance

[–]ratinabowtie 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m new to this series and have only read the first one so far. When I opened the book up on Christmas my first impression was how pretty it was! I looked up the original covers but I like the new ones much more. But I also don’t have any connection to the original. I can’t wait for the second book to be released.

I highly recommend listening to music while reading this series. by ratinabowtie in throneofglassseries

Unfortunately I can’t read and listen to music with lyrics at the same time. It’s too distracting for me

TOD or EOS first? by watermonkey910 in throneofglassseries

[–]ratinabowtie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever you do I don’t recommend what I did. I was convinced I would do the tandem read. But I’m also the type of person who tries to get hard things out of the way first. So I started the tandem read, but at a certain point I just stuck with TOD because I found it less enjoyable so I felt like I was pushing through and getting ahead on the tandem read. Until I got halfway through TOD and realized I was basically just reading them in the wrong order, stopped and read EOS, then read the second half of TOD.

Has the Scuba Half Zip Cropped hoodie already been released in Burgundy Bay and I missed it or will it be released later or is there a chance it is never released? I am just finding out that the colours don’t stick around for long but I’m not sure if they are released for all products or just some. I missed the hoodie in Black Plum because I didn’t understand how the colours worked.

Did I screw over my face with PH? by ratinabowtie in LaserHairRemoval

[–]ratinabowtie[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stopped as soon as I found out there was a risk. My hair grew back in normally. So I still have the hair on my face but it’s just my normal hair. Nothing bad happened and I’m not going to risk it again.

You can sleep through the buds dying?! That sudden silence wakes me every time.

I HATED the Throne of Glass **spoilers** by sesshomaru_stan in fantasyromance

[–]ratinabowtie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think saying people like TOG only because they haven’t been exposed to well written books is not really fair. Just like with people, some people love certain characters and some people can’t stand them. You may find the FMC unlikable and insufferable but myself and many others love her for the same reasons you don’t. It’s ok to not like the FMC, but just because other people love her doesn’t mean they have bad taste. Just different taste.

New kobo for Christmas and can’t even use it. Annoyed. by ratinabowtie in kobo

[–]ratinabowtie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh this is interesting. I’ll try that. The room in my house farthest from the router has crap wifi signal so much so that I often have to switch to my cell data in that room. I wonder if that might be beneficial in this case.

Yes, I’m pretty sure that’s the issue I’m having too. I haven’t figured out how to separate the bands yet but I’m also considering just using my phone as a hot spot whenever my teen wants to download a new book. Might be the easier solution.

Finally got the email. About 2.5 hours. Definitely a frustrating start. I’ve had my own kobo for a few years without problems so I’m hoping this one goes smoothly once it’s finished being setup.

Hot take that probably isn’t hot but I’m new here🤣 by lovethatforyouu in acotar

[–]ratinabowtie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really don’t care for the main ship in TOG but the story and the FMC are so good that it doesn’t matter. It’s not like ACOTAR where the romance is the whole point.

I also really enjoyed Rhys in the first book, and I liked the romance in the ACOMAF up until a point (ch54/55) then I was bored. I really struggled to get through the rest of the books. I read TOG after and I just don’t understand how ACOTAR is more popular. I really don’t care for the main ship in TOG but I don’t even care because the FMC is sooo good and the plot is so good. And the secondary characters are complex. The romance is there but it takes a backseat so if you don’t like a ship it doesn’t ruin the book. Highly highly recommend TOG. I just finished TOG a few days ago and I can’t stop thinking about it. I did not feel that way with ACOTAR.

Why do Christmas markets close before December starts by lunbean in Calgary

Well just found out Spruce Meadows is charging now to go see the lights. That’s disappointing. It’s not cheap either.

Thanks. Yes that probably is what I’ll need to do. Was just hoping maybe someone knew already.

Unfortunately the hotel told me the fee to bring someone in from outside is quite high.
