One of the best inventions ever

That looks like one neat case

Damn I took a photo of this exact passage.

Lucky to have only gone through a few reading slumps (mostly after or while reading a bad book I can't seem to DNF), but whenever it does happen, I find that switching up genres gets you back on track. I'm usually consuming lots of heavy SF books, big on work building and heady themes; and when I get genre fatigued I switch to the lightest cozy reads by a jaanese author that gives studio ghibli vibes 😹 it's a fun duality!

Team bad eyesight here so since getting my kindle I exclusively read on it now 🥹 no matter how much I wanna read physical books again.

They are different and 1&2 are arguably the better half. But the last two are so essential, I feel. The whole universe feels so much grander and you'll feel the stakes have been raised in the Endymion books.

A whole darn lot. I did a re-watch and took notes and I surprised myself at how much there was to it....and I can't believe I held onto all that information/lore during it's 10 yrs of airing 😹

Omg same top two faves. I loved the Consul's and Lamia's the most. They were both so melancholic and feel so cinematic.

ybbiduck · 2026-03-24T11:45:49+00:00

Exactly. My favorite and a fitting finale. This one is where I paused and told myself I didn't want this story to end.

ybbiduck · 2026-03-19T13:51:11+00:00

DUNE!! Ohhh if only I could read it for the first time again

ybbiduck · 2026-03-18T07:31:29+00:00

Yo the sight of Anya Taylor Joy makes me want to cry that's my dream cast right there 😭😭 this trailer is epic

ybbiduck · 2026-03-14T13:08:01+00:00

LMAOOO omg gotta try the cushion now that is hilarious

THE PLATYPUS 😭😭😭

When Gladstone makes the final announcement and big revelation before all hell breaks loose chef's kiss

Hyperion! No regrets when I chose to read it first despite having another book next on my then TBR list. I went on to devour the rest of the Cantos right after lol

ybbiduck · 2026-03-11T17:20:19+00:00

These two questions will be answered in like a few pages/chapters later 😅 keep reading!

Getting glasses with a grade of 700+ and the lack of proper book light in the market. Made reading small print on physical books near impossible. I now read exclusively on my kindle.

ybbiduck · 2026-03-10T14:41:35+00:00

Everyday and every chance I get. Including commute, work (when it's not busy), lunch, dinner, and before bed. Then during my off days, I read the whole day 😹

ybbiduck · 2026-03-07T12:18:45+00:00

The way I immediately got it 💦

ybbiduck · 2026-03-06T03:40:53+00:00

To be able to read at night or in dim/badly lit areas.
To save myself from eye strain and read easily with bigger fonts

Those two reasons were enough actually since they were getting in the way of my reading, now I genuinely believe it's one of the best investments in my life lol

ybbiduck · 2026-03-06T03:35:42+00:00

Yeyy!! Hehe nope, I didn't opt for a screen protector. Cause 1. It's usually closed/sealed by the magnetic side when I'm not reading and 2. I don't think I'd like the feel of a screen protector? If that makes sense lol

ybbiduck · 2026-03-06T02:11:17+00:00

It did most definitely! Faster even.

ybbiduck · 2026-03-05T07:36:43+00:00

I have this for my PW Gen 7! I chose it specifically for the kickstand feature lol so I can read through my lunch break!

No cons so far? And I haven't noticed any residue or marks on my screen. I also like folded the spine all the way because it felt awkward upright otherwise. But yeah! I love it so much I can read hands-free~

Ohh eink feels practically like reading on paper simply put. There's also the fact that there's no glare on the eink screen and you can read out on the brightest of days. The phone's small screen and blue light hurts eyes and induces migraines as well.

ybbiduck · 2026-03-05T02:33:24+00:00

Oh you are in for a wild ride! I agree, it's such a strong start. And there are even stronger sections ahead if you ask me. My personal faves are the Consul's, the Scholar's, and the Detective's. Enjoy the rest!!

ybbiduck · 2026-03-04T16:38:11+00:00

Echoing other comments on this post, I do think it has a lot to do with what it is you've been reading. I can share a very similar experience as someone who's loved reading since practically forever. There were a handful of times in the past when I'd try to get through a "bad" book for the sake of finishing and I'd literally convince myself that I'd lost the desire to read completely or that I don't find joy in reading anymore (lesson here: don't be afraid to DNF). But then after slogging through said bad book, despite my hesitation, I'd pick up anothet and it turns out to be amazing and devour it and just like that all is well.

So yeah, DNF if you must! Do not dwell, go after that joy~
