  • Let's help each other to tackle this Monday

    Hello fellow Boundlings, How are you today?

    I've woken up (like every Monday) with an impending sense of dread about the work week ahead. But it's not fair: I already give Capitalism a lot of my time and energy, I refuse to give it also my emotional wellbeing.

    Therefore, I've decided to treat this day as an adventure. The main quest will be to be present and kind.

    What will your main quest for today be? Can you give me ideas for side quests to add a little joy and whimsy to this day?

  • Bookmarking

    Saw this on my facebook and intended to sent it privately to my best friend but I messed up and share it on my profile for all my FB friends to see. It became a happy accident because my book friends (whom haven't talked to in a while) engaged on the post and we had fun on roasting my chaotic evil friends.

    I'm lawful evil. You? alt text

  • Book heights

    Is anyone else completely bothered by their books not being the same height?

    Most of my paperbacks (with the exception of like 2 books) are all the same height, but my hardcovers are all over the place! There are some that are a taller height and some that are closer to the paperback size but just a bit taller. Even the ones in the same height group are all very slightly different!

    And don't even get me started on graphic novels! I love my graphic novels so much but I only have two that are the same height and width!

    Do you prefer your books to all be the same height or do you like the variety? And do you prefer shorter or taller books?

  • Book endings. Can it ruin the book or not?

    Can a book ending ruin a book for you?

    Like, for example, if a book was 5 or 4 stars how many stars would it lose for a bad ending? How low would you rate it because of the ending? And if you hated the ending, would you hate the whole book?

    For me, i feel like no. I might hate the ending but i wouldn't hate the whole book. It would only lose half a star or a whole star if the ending was bad or i didn't like it. An ending cant ruin a book for me. I might not like it yes but it doesn't necessarily ruin it and make me hate it. I feel like thats a bit excessive.

    But Ofc no hate to you if it does ruin it. Im not judging.

  • How are you & how was your day?

    Just thought I'd throw a little space out there for people to talk about their days. Good, bad, everything in-between, anything really. How was work? How are your hobbies going? Do anything fun? I had a good day today. Work was chaotic but what else is new. Some stuff I ordered from etsy finally arrived today after the post office sat on it for 2 weeks until the seller got after them. One of the items is a print of the Hobbits and Gandalf but as frogs (frobbits hehe). I also got to start a new book while my cat was on my lap and I have a nice cold coconut dr pepper. The vibes are immaculate rn. How are you? How was your day?

    Enjoyment: 4.0Quality: 4.0Characters: Plot:

    There are no characters in this collection of personal essays by Robert Fulghum, but at the same time, he is a character just as much as the reader is.

    While ostensibly a self-help book, apparently, this reads more like one man's semi-philosophical musings about life.

    First published in 1986, and written prior, and lived much prior to that, the only particularly common thread amongst the collection of 50 essays is as the book's subtitle says: "Uncommon thoughts on common things."

    Not all of these essays will ring true with everyone, nor should they, realistically. They're a series of personal musings. It'd be weird if someone who wasn't the author related to all fifty. That said, some definitely feel more akin to their era; that is to say, not every essay aged like fine wine.

    Overall, I'd say this is definitely worth reading. This is a book that my mom strongly recommended that I read, and I understand why.

    If you can get a copy, I'd say it's worth checking out. The copy I read was printed three years prior to my birth, in 1990, and it's been in my mom's possession since as early as mid-1991, based on the hyphenated surname signature within.

  • Evanesco! 🪄✨️💨

    Hello hoomans! Here's a question for you.

    If there's ONE word in the english language that you would have the ability to delete forever what would it be and why?

    JUST ONE. 😁 a word you don't wanna speak or read no more!

    For me it would be... moist. 😂 ugh.

    Edit: Hey guys thanks so much for answering. You guys made me smile. It also gives me a chance to find new people to follow/connect with. Hope your weekend is amaaazing

  • The Name of the Wind (The Kingkiller Chronicle, #1)
    Thoughts from 81% (page 537)

    Getting into the final stretch of book one. The chapter with the... deep valley accent was interesting. Took a minute, but I actually picked up the accent really quickly and had very little trouble reading it. But it sure was something at first, haha.
