Me: hm, I want something to put on the TV as background noise... Huh. Looks like YouTube is recommending something called The Last Unicorn. That's perfect, it's probably some old shitty animation that has aged poorly! I can watch it ironically!

Me, 2 hours later as the credits roll: *crying, cheering, buying the book, composing the songs*

Me, 2 weeks later: So I have compiled all of the quotes from the book that I think could make good tattoos, and also, HOW HAVE I NEVER LEARNED ABOUT HOW THE LAST UNICORN FUCKING SLAPS??? This gay-ass little fairytale fed my soul! Watered my crops! Transed my gender! Can't believe I heard of this story from youtube recommendations, of all places!!

[perplexingly]

I've done it I found all the books I'm free 🥹

I put them all in my little house, also the copy I found of volume 5 is significantly larger than the rest and doesn't fit on the shelf??

The AuDHD inner turmoil of "listening to audiobooks=real reading" and "listening to audiobooks=LISTENING bc there's a difference between listening and reading" battling for dominance in my head

For a book I’m writing, I am wondering if Hemet-Nisut is the correct title/last name for an ancient Egyptian handmaiden?

Hi there, thanks for the ask! ḥmt nswt means king's wife so it would not be an appropriate name for a handmaiden. It's a title, not a name. The ancient Egyptian's didn't have last names, it was a case of "[Name], son/daughter of [Name]". Here is a list of given names: [X] and another one [X], many names included the name of a god/goddess and they all have a meaning e.g. Ahmose = born of the god Iah (the moon god). If you need any more help, please let me know!

Listening to me read a chapter from Time To Orbit: Unknown. We're all enjoying Auntie DOOM's Story Quarter-Hour at bedtime. I started recording it at Chapter 14; if anybody would like I can go back and do the first chapters too. They're on the @derinthescarletpescatarian fan discord, but I'm happy to put them anywhere handy.

[*] CAUTION: This story has a reputation for deeply enthralling people who used to read voraciously, but can't focus on reading like they used to. Extremely enjoyable, but hard on the daily schedule.

This is my most gen z opinion but it takes wayyy too long to read. I have so many books that look interesting but I'd have to set aside 5-8 dedicated hours to read them. And you can't do anything while reading like you can with movies, so those really are dedicated hours. I should be able to absorb the contents in my brain.

He was kind-hearted, in a way. You know the sort of kind heart: it made him uncomfortable more often than it made him do anything; and even when he did anything, it did not prevent him from grumbling, losing his temper, and swearing (mostly to himself).

pspsps other animorphs fans: if you want Another heartbreaking children's series to blast through you should read the How To Train Your Dragon books. the first 3-4 are silly romps and then 5-8 gripping plot with deeper emotional cores and 9-12 all break my heart

as someone who doesn't even personally use audiobooks, i will die on the hill that they count as real reading. and i'm willing to kill on this hill too

[toytulini]

me, stupidly and weirdly resistant to listening to audio books vs reading a physical book for no real reason: man i wish there was a way to like, read a book while i crochet like i do with tv shows and movies and podcasts

[tj-crochets]

Hey y'all! I am considering trying listening to podfics, but I have no idea where to start. Like, I read a lot of fanfic, but idk how one goes about listening to them? Is it like an app, or a download it kind of thing, or what? Do you have any advice or specific recommendations? In the past I have really, really struggled with books on tape because I cannot focus on just listening, but I like listening to like sort of documentary-ish videos while sewing and that's just a person talking, so probably I would be able to focus on audiobooks or podfics now?
