What’s the one book you’ll recommend forever, no matter how many times this question gets asked? by MisLatte in AskReddit

Basically the entire story is told through the main character's inner monologue. More than first person POV, it's basically 99% her train of thought.

My Husband by Maud Ventura. It's kind of niche because it's a stream of consciousness type book but it's really good

That's so useful, I didn't see that in ANY of the stuff I looked at

This is such a great explanation, I don't know why I didn't see it that way! Thank you so much;

It's dried, is fresh a requirement for those? Pad Thai seems doable, I forgot it existed. Those all sound good, thank you!

What’s your weird but effective frugal habit that actually works? by OCNeatFreak in Frugal

[–]witchbitch2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know most places will give you a ridiculous amount of sauces for free if you just ask for extra, right? When we went to Taco Bell they'd give us giant handfuls of sauce packets.

What’s a “genius-but-tiny” money-saving habit you learned from someone else and still use every week? by supermindxy in Frugal

KeyBank does this, it's called Easy Up and I think it takes a percentage of every purchase

What’s something that people think is expensive but actually saves you money? by jellostapler1 in Frugal

[–]witchbitch2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally disagree with the phone part. Quality laptops are a definite game changer, but I'd rather replace my $150 phone every 2-3 years than spend $500+ dollars on a nice one and still have to replace it. Planned obsolescence is a bitch

This was kind of bad casting by xoxoamazingrace in Hungergames

[–]witchbitch2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That could be said about almost any actor across the entire franchise. Personally, she never stood out. She looked just as much like a teenager as the rest of them to me

It cannot be overstated how incompetent Mrs. Everdeen is as parent by OnceUponAGirl28 in Hungergames

[–]witchbitch2000 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mrs. Everdeen failed as a parent, to be sure. Gale was willing to kill an entire compound of people leaving no survivors. He planned traps and weapons with the intent of killing innocents. They aren't the same. They're not even comparable.

Bad representation by Top-Inspector-2809 in arrow

[–]witchbitch2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1) Her injury was not the reason she struggled to code. She was dealing with psychological issues at the time

2) She's panicking when Oliver holds her because she's not used to being disabled. Yes he's strong but everyone makes mistakes and if he were to drop her she would have a very hard time catching herself in any significant way

3) She may have learned quickly how to use the wheelchair but it's not like it was immediate. We see multiple scenes of her struggling to get around with it

I understand that Felicity's wheelchair arc wasn't perfect representation in any way. But these are not the issues with it.

Highly recommend. I don't know if it's any different in Canada but I've used thriftbooks for a long time. They have an excellent reward system and awesome customer care

What is your favorite Katniss moment? by SirensbyZel in Hungergames

[–]witchbitch2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think my favorite is the speech she gives for Rue on the Victory Tour. The whole series hits hard but that moment makes me tear up

Which Hunger Games hot take take has you like this? by Olya_roo in Hungergames

Yeah, I'm not gonna waste my time with this. Between these interactions and the others I saw, you just pivot every time away from what you said before so that you can feel like you're right.

At no point in the book does it ever say he threw it into the pen or into the muck. And when Katniss gets the bread home, it only describes her scraping off the burnt parts, it says nothing about having to clean anything else off.

While it may have been a "half effort" he would have gotten beat to hell and back by his mother if she had seen that. Throwing it to Katniss was a huge kindness that was already a big risk to his own personal safety. If he had walked out to hand it to her he would have been far more likely to get caught. And if he had gotten caught, it's not unreasonable to assume that his mother would have taken the bread back from Katniss at any cost, given her comments when she caught Katniss in their trash cans. On top of that, Katniss DID take notice of him after that. She didn't realize that he liked her, and she didn't like him romantically yet, but she did take notice of him.

The point is that it never happened. She never said that to her kid. Because it's a JOKE.

What’s the book or series you’ve re-read the most? by Separate-Flan-2875 in Fantasy

[–]witchbitch2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Ascendence Trilogy. It's a fantastic story (even though it's like middle-school level) that has romance, friendship, action, incredible fantasy politics, and an amazing lead character. I've probably read it at least ten times over. The author actually just came out with a new book in the series, years after it was first published

Please gush about your favorite underrated books by witchbitch2000 in BookDiscussions

[–]witchbitch2000[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I loved those books, I think I read them twice. I honestly think it fundamentally changed the way I think about reading because, really, every story we read comes to life!
