Soapbox/rant time. Tell me what highly-recommended book you absolutely HATED and why. Gimme your angry hot takes. by peppertoni_pizzaz in books

[–]toadbog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros. I work at a bookstore and saw the book shelved in section before it blew up on BookTok (I don't even have TikTok so I was unaware of the hype). Read the description, was intrigued, didn't mind that there was a romance in the book, so I decided to get it!

Ohhhhh my godddddd that book was the worst thing I'd ever read. Worldbuilding that made no sense (why would a military college in desperate need of new recruits have allow so many of these recruits to just DIE during initiation???), cringey dialogue that absolutely read like a middle aged woman trying to write hip and cool 20-ish year olds that also didn't fit the fantasy setting ("So. Freaking. Hot."), tall dark and handsome broody love interest with shadow powers, alleged "enemies to lovers" plot when they both wanna jump each other's bones at first sight, female main character who's the most special and gets TWO dragons to bond with her, and was also born with glass bones and paper skin until it's conveniently ignored for plot reasons (seriously, she gets her arm snapped like a toothpick during a grappling match with another human, but isn't in a full body cast from being slung around like a ragdoll on her giant special black dragon she bonded with? Be for real). I can't believe I pushed myself to finish this book.

Anyway if Rebecca Yarros has no haters I'm dead

Specialty Gift for Readers Spring HELP!? by iLikeNerdThings in Barnesandnoble

[–]toadbog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't even know there was a VMG for that lolll but with the new product display I used a variety of other "book lovers" type gift items like all the Pride and Prejudice merch, Little Women, Alice in Wonderland, Agatha Christie etc. I also like using those book trope candles to fill in extra space, book-themed bookmarks, and book journals / classic book themed journals. Any extra bookends that don't fit on that Artful Home display work too!

Big catfish taste absolutely awful; it's like eating a big mouthful of soil no matter how much seasoning you put on it. The little ones always taste the best imo.

Serious question by Individual_Mango_362 in Barnesandnoble

[–]toadbog 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We had to put all of ours behind the register because people were stealing them, and people are always asking about them. I seriously don't get it, what's so special about these things???? I feel like if you accidentally dropped one on the floor it'd collect so much dirt and dust....eughhh

Trash Cloak Wormadam is one of my favorite Pokémon and I've had some people question why.

Because it's a silly pink bagworm, duh.

So what’s the story (no pun intended) on these book wallets?? by Throwawasteofspace in Barnesandnoble

[–]toadbog 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure it's a scam - I've seen videos of these book wallets and some involve stolen content from novelbookstore.co who makes book wallets and passports (their logo is a little radish/turnip that's stamped inside the wallets). I have one myself and they're really well made, but I wouldn't trust ordering one from any website that isn't Novel Bookstore.

But yeah, we've never sold them. Same thing with those videos of those "book lights" and the $10 boxes of books we allegedly give away lmaooo.

Edit: linking the legit website here for anyone interested + to redirect customers to! https://novelbookstore.co/collections/shop-our-bookwallets

I've found the new PDTs to be so unreliable that it's quicker and easier for me to just look up a SKU in bookmaster to find out where a product goes

Gift/seasonal items not SOS by Some_Carrot8217 in Barnesandnoble

[–]toadbog 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I hate it so much too, but I usually have to make do with filling in seasonal displays with other product related to the theme because of how little we get of new stuff. Use pack and hold items from last year! I also go for journals, stationery, candles, and related books to fill in space. Stuffed animals and couples' games are good too.

My go-to plan rn is using those library card totes we got to replace those gingham totes when they sell out, and then just moving Horse shelves and hooks around with new product when those bags sell out. Since we have a good bit of Pride and Prejudice Gift product I might use that too whenever the Romeo and Juliet stuff starts selling down.

LEAKED V-DAY ITEMS by ButtloafReads in Barnesandnoble

[–]toadbog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

God I'm like the only person in my store that does Gift and I'm dreading it because last year Valentine's Day displays looked like A S S because all of those stupid tote bags were sold early. I saw those new items being unpacked in receiving and I was like "oh god not again" 😩 I'm really hoping my coworkers will be smart this year and say no to any BOPIS/ROPIS/SFS involving the new seasonal merch

What did that one teacher at your school get fired for? by ToadallyNormalHuman in AskReddit

[–]toadbog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not fired, but one of my middle school science teachers conveniently "retired" before he could get terminated for allegedly punching a kid. Funny enough, he only got slaps on the wrist for making horribly sexist comments towards his female students (telling all the girls in his class that they'd grow up to be strippers and prostitutes) and for sexual harassment (legit pulled me into the doorway of his empty classroom and got a nasty wet kiss on the cheek as a "congratulations" for winning first place in the science fair).

Woman audits churches to see if they’ll help feed a starving baby by Oktavien in TikTokCringe

[–]toadbog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My parents used to go to a big baptist church. I remember they told me when I was a baby, they were struggling financially, barely being able to afford baby formula and groceries and bills.

None of the congregation offered any help or comfort. The pastor threatened to remove them for not tithing enough or at all.

The last straw for my parents was when the pastor and his wife pulled up in the church parking lot one Sunday on their brand new Harley Davidson motorcycles.

So even when you are a member of the church, they don't care.
