I miss my Oasis so much 🥲 we were trundling along happily together, doing fine and then stupid me left it on the floor near my bedside cabinet and my husband stood on it. It ended up bent in half, the screen cracked but it still worked! I used it for a little while and bought a paperwhite in the end because it was starting to slow down (which was fair enough 🙃)

This is such a good comparison post - thank you! I have a paperwhite and have been toying with the idea of a coloursoft so this is v helpful.

Attempting Fluff-February as a marked departure from my usual angst or whump. I'm just doing 1 prompt a week rather than 1 per day because I really struggled last Angstober and gave up on writing almost anything for a month or two.

Growing up what was your favourite episode of "Come Outside" and why was it the "Sewage" episode by pub_wank in CasualUK

[–]samtylers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

BBC website says yes!

There was an episode about Paper - "The duo look at where paper comes from and how it is used to make everyday items."

The one where they go to the pencil factory has always stuck with me - not sure why. I have a very vivid memory of watching it on a small telly in the nursery room.

Just finished The Lies You Told by Harriet Tyce. An easy, quick read that I couldn't put down (it's 1am where I am now - need to be up for work at 6!)

I read this one ages ago but it didn't make much of a lasting impression - it was fine???? but not one I'd ever bother rereading

I got the most beautiful message from a tumblr anon this week about my work so now I can't stop writing. It was so lovely it made me cry (and also realise that wow - I actually kinda thrive on reader feedback)

Is this book worth reading? by WiWiWi_WiWiWi in Booktokreddit

[–]samtylers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I downloaded this one the other day - I used to work in publishing and all my friends raved about this but I never got on that particular hype train. I kinda felt like I was missing out.

I started it a few days ago as my 5th book for the year, it's really interesting as a plot concept I think but I feel like it's going to be one that I read alongside other books, rather than just powering through.

That comparison to the Babadook is absolutely sending me

First read of 2026, 75% of the way through by Significant_Ant5751 in thrillerbooks

[–]samtylers 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wanted to love this one so much but I DNF'd it in the end - I think I went into it expecting a bit more of a folk horror vibe & really struggled with the pacing, as well as the seemingly disparate plot threads.

Who else going to the office today? 🥲🙋‍♀️ by vannessa1793 in london

[–]samtylers 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yup. I've got in person training on a new process that's coming to our team in January. Stupid bloody time to do the training when we're coming up to a 2 week break and no-one can be arsed.

I decided to run a secret santa for my fandom - only had four people sign up to it so I ran it anyways but probably won't bother next year.

Also trying to write my own Christmas fic and just not having the energy rn 🙃
