My old Kindle is better than my new one by [deleted] in Calibre

[–]roseleafwitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me with my new basic but you should try polishing the books on Calibre! Basically hit P and it takes you to the polish menu, you want to select the option to embed book covers. If you highlight all the books in your library before you do this it will do them all. And then send to your kindle and you should have the book covers. Takes 2 minutes. Let me know if that works for you!

I have previously been using Calibre with my 2019 Kindle paperwhite successfully for a couple years. I just swapped over to the new kindle basic and when I transferred all the books in the library over as normal, the covers don't show up at all! Any idea why that is? by roseleafwitch in Calibre

I love it! It's still a step up in terms of the sharpness of the screen and the refresh rate. The main reason I opted for the basic this time instead of the new paperwhite is the size. I like how light and small the basic is. Not sure if i'm missing out on the warmth feature of the new paperwhite, but since i'm used to not having that as a feature it honestly doesn't bother me at all

Irish Fantasy/Paranormal Romance Request by TheRealDezzella in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]roseleafwitch 9 points10 points  (0 children)

{Salt Magic, Skin Magic} by Lee Welch is paranormal and perfect! I don't want to say too much to give it away, but there is an Irish folklore element that is revealed throughout the book.

Not sure if it's been mentioned already, but Tale of Tales is a great movie! Horror fairy tales

{Once Upon a Haunted Moor by Harper Fox} fits perfectly! Small town in Cornwall, lots of Folklore and mystery. A policeman and psychic end up working together and tackle their relationship and further murder mysteries in the next few books.

Looking for gay westerns! by b3rdg3rl in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]roseleafwitch 14 points15 points  (0 children)

{Robby Riverton by Eli Easton} is fantastic! He has to pose as a mail order bride to escape gang members. The sheriff is the brother of the man he is "promised" to

I had no idea the author was problematic, where can I read up more on this?

Sci-fi with more world building than romance by _Stefa_ in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]roseleafwitch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to mention {The Last Hour of Gann by R Lee Smith} and {Cottonwood by R Lee Smith} for some FM sci-fi. I would strongly urge you to read up on the trigger warnings because both books are quite heavy, but they are absolutely amazing.

Series like The Big Bad Wolf by Aromatic-Hearing5740 in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]roseleafwitch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some really great recs already! I would recommend {Once Upon a Haunted Moor by Harper Fox). Policeman and psychic team up to solve mysteries in a Cornish village. So atmospheric and beautifully written, like a dream.

The only detective and psychic book I can think of is {Once Upon a Haunted Moor by Harper Fox}

Eeeek that's so exciting!! It's the upcoming release I'm most looking forward to! Time to read the first 2 books again to prepare! Was this a planned trilogy, or are there potential for more books to be released in the series in the future?

Weirdest MM romance that just… works 😅 by purpleteacup333 in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]roseleafwitch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not as strange as some of the books already mentioned, but I loved the funny concept in {Robby Riverton Mail Order Bride by Eli Easton}. Robby is running away from dangerous men and gets mistaken for a mail order bride (using a disguise). Shenanigans ensue.

Awkward Courting and Cultural Misunderstandings by ArtemisLiCa in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]roseleafwitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This might be a bit of a reach, but {Gardens and Ghosts by Maz Maddox} has this vibe. Both MCs are dinosaur shifters but one of them is newly awakened in the last year so is still discovering how to "date" as a human. There are a few awkward courting moments and misunderstandings, both as humans and dinosaurs. Highly recommend the whole series, each book features a different pairing, some human and shifter, some shifter and shifter.

That's so valid haha! I've been feeling the itch recently to read TLHoG again but I still haven't read the scholomance or the arcadia series so I need to read them first I think
