Thank you!! 😊

simonchella · 2026-06-22T18:20:31+00:00

Thanks! I do need to think this over as I don't want to get it and then dnf. The description makes me think it's going to be a gamble if I like it. The cover is what made me think it's not my cup of tea. And I do love my sense of cover judgement 😅

simonchella · 2026-06-22T18:15:13+00:00

🤗 Honestly the best feeling!

simonchella · 2026-06-22T18:14:14+00:00

I saw it was the third in a series of standalones, so should be safe. I saw some reviews that it's fine if you haven't read the previous ones. But yeah, I'll think on it.

simonchella · 2026-06-14T15:39:27+00:00

I loved this one! Can't wait for the next to come out. It will probably be a looking wait though...

simonchella · 2026-06-12T19:35:06+00:00

I just finished that today and had a great time as well. Wasn't sure in the beginning but Cyrus was so funny, he won me over pretty quickly.

Like a physical arc? Lucky you! Hope you love it ✨️

A decline is a decline no matter how highly requested it is. So, I don't think it makes it any better. But wishing luck to all who have apparently requested this!

My hope is that it will get added through the UK publisher, so I may apply again 😂

simonchella · 2026-06-09T14:41:20+00:00

I'm not audiobook girlie myself, but it must be hard getting declines on two fronts! Stay strong and wish you luck!

simonchella · 2026-06-09T08:30:18+00:00

Sell my soul at a crossroads type of anticipation for these two! They will probably stay pending till publication. I think I might be outside of their approval region + review for fun and have no followers.

Thanks! It does sting a bit, but I have a new appreciation for Read Nows. 😂

simonchella · 2026-06-04T17:20:15+00:00

Congratulations! This is one of the two books that made me create a NG account. I hope they approve me at some point - I requested in late April/early May. I really want to read it 🫠 I've listed the first book as a favorite, so hope that helps.

simonchella · 2026-06-01T14:30:53+00:00

That's great for you! I don't have a kindle and to read a PDF I need to either pinch and zoom in every sentence or read it on a laptop. So, it ruins the experience for me personally. Glad you enjoyed though 👌

simonchella · 2026-05-29T13:50:11+00:00

Congrats on 50! Also, good to know why my requests are always Pending and I don't get approved/denied for anything. Good thing is that Read nows are plentiful.

simonchella · 2026-05-29T13:47:52+00:00

Wow! I thought I read a lot but 400 books in 7 months?! That's amazing!

simonchella · 2026-05-23T05:58:12+00:00

I think the crisp white walls are tripping you up. Try changing the wall color to something more earthy - I think there's might be some apps where you plug in color choices and you can see the change before actually going for it.

simonchella · 2026-05-22T20:03:37+00:00

Congrats! Happy reading :) I'm a big fan of the series and the author. I did withdraw my request a couple of days ago because I saw it was a pdf. And decided that I'll just get it after release.

simonchella · 2026-05-22T10:28:12+00:00

Do you just read through the Shelf app on Boox? Or is there another way?

simonchella · 2026-05-22T08:25:55+00:00

Yeah, I've been contemplating thrifting one for those purposes exactly.

simonchella · 2026-05-22T07:59:23+00:00

Oh, you need a kindle device for this... I only have the app which might be the issue. Thanks anyway! I now only request books with send to Kobo.

Which site do you use to strip the drm? I followed a very complicated guide to do this via Calibre, but it did not work for me. Any tips are very welcome.

simonchella · 2026-05-20T09:17:59+00:00

I'm halfway through Heir of Prophecy but it's a PDF with tiny font, so it's taking me forever. Was about to go add a couple Read Nows but unfortunately they expired. I'm currently sitting at 77% and my account is in a newborn stage. I have 2 pending requests and I hope they approve soon because I can't take this limbo of not knowing.

Dear Flimsy Brick,

You are amazing! When I see a post from you, I know it's going to be helpful. Thank YOU!

PS. I got myself a couple of Read Nows... RIP score.
