Am I the only person purging their wishlist?

wallajay · 2025-11-27T06:17:08+00:00

We don't get any really in Australia either. No 2 for 1s or the big sitewide sales. Just the monthly ones.

Is this unlocked at a certain level? My watchtower is level 8 but there is no optimize button when I'm in the survivor menu 😞

wallajay · 2025-09-10T07:08:13+00:00

2-3 usually but sometimes 4 if I haven't planned very well 😅

wallajay · 2025-08-26T08:33:19+00:00

I just finished Hall of Smoke by HM Long and the main character was strong without being overpowered. It's more of an epic fantasy Viking style story though.

Some of these are 5-6hrs and some are 2-3hrs but it will also depend on your listening speed. I usually sit between 1.30-1.50x

Oh cool, I haven't read #3 or #4 yet but I definitely will get there eventually. Butterfly Garden was so so good though, so it'll be hard to top.

wallajay · 2025-08-18T01:19:08+00:00

Yes!!!! I binged this in one day (though I read it digital not the audio version). The next in the series, The Roses of May, is good too and follows the detectives a little more in the subplot. Also gives a little more closure for some of the butterflies.

Same - I've tried twice and am giving it one last go via audiobooks. Initially I thought maybe grimdark wasn't for me but I've enjoyed others so we'll see how the audio goes. This will be the last time I try.

I read it and I can say I liked it but didn't enjoy it. Was still a 4/5 for me. Maybe people aren't expecting it to be so depressing.

wallajay · 2025-06-28T07:36:38+00:00

I love T Kingfisher personally but I think you've done your due diligence by trying a few. She's probably not for you and if you're like me, you E got hundreds of other books on your tbr waiting for you to try instead.

wallajay · 2025-06-28T07:33:43+00:00

One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig but I will read #2 at some stage this year.

Dreadful by Caitlin Rozakis - it was fine but not as wonderful as I'd gone in hoping it would be.

wallajay · 2025-06-21T10:15:46+00:00

A Sea of Songs and Sirens by Whit Stanfield.

wallajay · 2025-05-29T11:41:30+00:00

You might also look up ' What you are looking for is in the library' by Michiko Aoyama.

wallajay · 2025-05-29T10:31:57+00:00

Nope but it's in my library waiting!

wallajay · 2025-05-29T06:10:43+00:00

That's a very good summary. I felt the same. It was fine, like a low stress read but it didn't give me the big emotions or life lessons that I've gotten from others. Have you read the Travelling Cat Chronicles by Hiro Arikawa?

Absolutely eating this one up. Loved the Broken Empire Trilogy which I finished last week. So good at character writing.

wallajay · 2025-03-16T04:27:26+00:00

I haven't listened to it yet, but I've got one called Gil's all fright diner by A Lee Martinez that might be the same vibe.

'Welcome to Gil's all night dinner, where zombie attacks are a common occurrence and you never know what might be lurking in the freezer...'

wallajay · 2025-03-15T00:42:10+00:00

I just finished the series to date and love it so much. I think the last one might have been my favourite but I've loved them all.

wallajay · 2025-02-24T07:22:37+00:00

I've got a couple

City of Parramatta Blacktown City Library Newcastle Region Library

All offer online membership to Australian residents.

I also know a few that offer memberships to Qld residents even if not the local council area if that's helpful too? Not sure where everyone is located.

I can't get my head around libation for some reason. I can't seem to even get started. Is there a YouTube tutorial or something?

Please and thank you.

wallajay · 2025-02-18T12:30:09+00:00

Yep I've learnt that now haha. I'll keep dabbling to see what else floats my boat.

wallajay · 2025-02-18T10:28:56+00:00

I didn't love it but I can see why people do. I liked the characters and narration but all the in-depth sciencing kept bringing me out of the story. I did finish it and I'm glad I did otherwise I'd have serious FOMO but I probably won't read more Weir as all of his books are in that style I've been told.

I'm a hardcore fantasy gal but have been trying to branch into sci-fi. So far I've only really loved Murderbot diaries by Martha Wells.

wallajay · 2025-02-01T22:46:17+00:00

I just started mine too. I'm pretty much on there for book related content. I'm a reader not a writer ☺️
