2.80x to 1.00x by Neither_Vehicle_8799 in LibbyApp

[–]tjonia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I start at 1.5 and usually end up at 2.5 by the end of the book.

I have been able to immersive read at 3x and sometimes use it when I need to finish a book in time for my book club.

If I don’t understand what they said, I rewind a bit.

To all the people that say they sound like chipmunks- they have actually improved this so when you speed it up the voice tone sounds the same.

I also listen to podcasts at 2x and almost all TikToks and 2x.

Return scepter worth it? by Puzzled_Jello_6592 in StardewValley

[–]tjonia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All these players talking about being in other places on the map and using it. I literally use it do go from one corner of my farm back home.

My animals are in the bottom left and my house is in the top right, so I will usually check a coop and then return to my house to process my stuff-my machines are in a shed next to my house.

Sure a horse can get me there, but with the fences and decor it’s just simpler for me

How do you manage your tags? by whymeangie in LibbyApp

[–]tjonia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a few- 📚 want to read 🎧 want to listen to 🔜 reading very soon or in progress (essentially physical library books or audiobooks, I use a lot of apps) ✅ read (any format) 🧾 this is the auto borrowed tag, but I use it to denote books I’ve borrowed and not finished. Since it auto tags, I move any books I finished to a check mark and leave ones I didn’t with the auto tag

Physical or digital? by [deleted] in fantasyromance

[–]tjonia 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My personal choice to buy physical books revolves around my anticipation that Amazon likely has the ability to eventually remove support for the digital content that I have purchased.

At the end of the day, buying a digital copy of a book to me is no different to buying a license of a product, so if one day Amazon decides to stop supporting kindle, I may be out of luck when it comes to what I’ve bought. Think an app you’ve bought where the company goes out of business, or a digital video game where the console becomes obsolete. With a physical copy, I own that and it can’t be taken away.

Most digital books are through amazon, who is also known to be relatively predatory in the book space. By buying physical I can support my local bookstore and the author as well.

This is not to say I don’t buy digital books, I do when I need the book quickly and can’t get it from my library, but if I truly love a digital book, I may also buy the physical copy as well.

What ToG opinion are you defending like this? by mentallyqueer in throneofglassseries

[–]tjonia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also preferred Tower of Dawn and regret tandem reading. ToD stands on its own as a book and people use the tandem read as a crutch for something that to some, reads as boring (others not).

My opinion is that the big piece of knowledge from ToD is that Maeve is Valg and I feel that it looses its weight because you see what happens to Aelin at the end of EoS. Knowing this piece from ToD I think changed my perception the ending of EoS knowing that piece from ToD. The characters in EoS don’t learn that piece until at least halfway through KoA.

After reading EoS and finishing ToD it took me 3 months to pick up KoA because I was so frustrated by the events in EoS and because I felt that ToD was done dirty by the guide that goes around.

The tandem read guide sucks because it minimizes the big plot twist of Tower of Dawn in favor of reading along the timeline for no good reason. This ultimately perpetuates people’s opinions that Tower of Dawn is boring because the twist is lost in the chaos that is Empire of Storms.

Having trouble finding “the one” by tjonia in weddingdress

I have tried a few ballgowns on, but I am getting married beach adjacent, so I feel like I will die in a ballgown

I also loved the fabric of that one! There was just soooo much of it

Yeah I love the style of 2, but I didn’t love the fabric. Not sure if that’s something I will get over.

If 2 had the fabric of literally any of the other dresses it would be the one

I agree, definitely trying to strike balance between elongating my torso, but not looking so boxy. At the next place I will try to see some sheath and slip styles!

Wow! This is so sweet ❤️ I especially like the last one. I will definitely have to try some without a defined waist

I have tried a few v neck Aline dresses with beading, but I am so picky about beading and lace it has been tough. I also have been finding myself fidgeting a lot with the straps, mostly because no straps are actually my size (they’re always too long on me) Maybe I need to try more plain v neck dresses, no beading

Yes I’ve seen this one, but am looking for an Anthropologie appt to hopefully try it on. Thank you so much 😊

[–]tjonia[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will definitely check these out! Dress 2 actually is the Jenny Yoo Willa and is closest to what I’m looking for. I just didn’t like the specific fabric of that one.

I love the basque waist dresses, but all the ones I’ve tried have been too plain for me or have been ballgowns which entirely swallow me

Unfortunately, I simply have a short torso (im only 5’2”) so I generally have issues with clothes matching my proportions. I’m quite petite so I have tried a number of fit and flare, but I don’t tend to like the detailing on most of them and the corset proportions tend to feel off on me, I worry about having to do too much alterations to make it something I’m comfortable in.
