I’m working my way through some of the more “pop” books. Sarah j maas, “beach reads”.
Honestly they’re all super easy and I finish them in 1-2 days. But I’m shocked at how “THE BEST BOOKS EVER” of this day and age are so downright terrible compared to the best books of like pre-2000s.
Has anyone else noticed that shift?
Hell yeah! The expanse is such a long series, congratulations
I think I’m more upset about doors of stone than GOT
I can’t give too much advice on sourcing (besides to make friends with the restaurant staff, concert people, or even DND folks near you), but I can speak to the hallucinogen experience for depression.
I micro (sometimes more of a macro) dose 2-4x per year, usually in the summer. I haven’t found it to change my depression at all, outside of the day I trip. That day is an 8 hour giggle fest. Other than that… the subsequent days are the same as before.
I’m sure you’ll have a good time regardless, I’d err on the side of a half or quarter dose vs a true microdose, but definitely don’t expect a magic bullet
I haven’t read ToG yet… just finished ACOTAR… and I agree, it’s terrible, but imho it’s terrible the same way that “love is blind” is, and I can’t get enough of either. It’s a whole dang pendulum swing away from Hugo award winners though that’s for sure.
This might be basic, but a cold shower before bed is seriously helpful. Heck even a cold shower if you’re too hot to sleep at 3am. Wet skin + a fan and I’ll be cold even at 90F
Sometime around midnight is literally one of my all time favorite songs
I’m shamelessly entering my romantasy / book tok era… I’m working my way through the throne of glass series now.
For the record my taste is not always such trash. My phase before this one was all the Hugo / Nebula award winners.
Thank you for sharing!!! I just hopped over there. I’ve never been on goodreads, but I’ve wanted to try it for a while. I’ll just skip to this instead. I believe I can be found at @giantpacificoctopus@bookwyrm.social
I’ve been told it is possible! But I don’t know how…
The ori series are some of my favorites. I just finished will o wisps last night and now I feel lost and unsure what to try next… I’ll look at the ones you posted here!
Excuse my newness - how does one go about federating Kbin with lemmy? I like both, and I’ve figured out federating within lemmy, but getting kbin looped in is stumping me
If you like guns germs and steel, you may also really like the hot zone by Richard Preston. I devoured that like I’ve never devoured a nonfiction book before (I usually think they’re dry)
