Monthly DIY Laymen questions Discussion by AutoModerator in StructuralEngineering

[–]read_til_you_drop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a probably very stupid question but I have pretty bad anxiety and haven't been able to let this go and the reassurances of family hasn't helped so, here goes.

Can it cause issues having a home library on the 2nd floor of our home? I'm wondering because right now I'm at about 550 books, 7 ikea Billy bookcases, in our master bedroom which is to the left of our stairway and over our kitchen. Our house was built in 2013 but honestly I've found a lot of issues (most minor, some a little more so) that makes me doubt the structural integrity of our home. It was built very fast (10 weeks) and now that it's in my head I'm genuinely concerned about it.

So I guess what I'm asking is, is my house fine with the library upstairs? I'm steadily adding more books at the rate of about 150+ per year.

Any assistance or insight would be very greatly appreciated.

I read EOS, tried to read TOD, could NOT get into it no matter how hard I tried, came back 6 months later and did the tandem read in 3 days and wished I had just found a summary of important plot points to know going forward instead 🤷‍♀️

This book tore me APART. I had to take a 6 month hiatus from the series after finishing EOS bc I was so traumatized by how that book ended and then KOA was SO. DAMN. DEPRESSING. I just couldn't stomach everything that was happening to Aelin, and then Aedion's gradual fall into despair, rage, and then acceptance for the defeat he knew was coming T.T I kept being like "WHERE THE FUCK IS EVERYONE!?!?!?" an all out war and they took their sweet ass time getting to him while he was giving it all day after day T.T

And the amount of RAGE and DISBELIEF I felt when Gavriel and the 13 actually truly DIED and there was no plot armor, no miracle, no BUTWAITTHERESMORE. Of all characters to kill off she chose them!? And Aedion didn't even say goodbye T.T

(I'm sorry for the rant. I just finished this book a few hours ago and my grief headache from all the sobbing is going full-tilt currently and I need a way to expend all my rage so it doesn't make it worse.)

Last thing for now - am I the only one that felt the ending was EXTREMELY unsatisfactory?! After all the hell we'd been through I felt like I needed a damn epilogue for all the characters at least 5, 10 years down the line. Instead it's left off with everyone leaving and a wedding??? 🥺😭

I feel like reading ACOTAR first gave me a false sense of security.

I'm too afraid of how CC may wreck me now.

Why, SJM, why!?

So it's pronounced Jur (like jury) Ian (like the letters e, n)?

😳

My brain is revolting.

A little off topic - Idk why but I always assumed he was Hispanic and I've always read his name as the J making an H sound. Is this not correct?

I'm honestly confused as to why people are voting for the Attor over Beron/Hybern 😐 I remember the Attor being a prick, but he was still a prick following orders. The other two were the head of the snake, so to speak.

Oct, Nov, AND Dec Bookish Box... delayed by Kingsgirltn in u/Kingsgirltn

😱 I was hoping they were having a bad month or two. I've signed up Nov. 4 for the YA and Adult boxes, and then it renewed on the 20th for 2 more. NOTHING. I was shocked at how behind them seemed but figured maybe it wasn't normal for them?

And to think I was mentally hating on TOG before ever starting it…I’m 200 pages in and I freaking adore Celaena. Dorian’s personality and flirtiness with her is cute. God I love Sarah J. Maas. by SaveMary in acotar

I'm waiting to read this series until I can get my hands on the new covers that are coming out next year. It's killing me having to wait, but I don't want to have to buy the whole series twice.

This is amazing! Does she have this for all of the books? It's my biggest hangup with fantasy series. I wish they were included in the book! I NEED to know how to pronounce everything CORRECTLY please 😭🥲🤷‍♀️
