Hello Boundlings! Let’s play a quick game that relies entirely on your phone’s predictive text 👀
Use your predictive text to finish the following sentences:

Here’s mine! ⬇️😆
I want to read a book about the history of the universe but I’m afraid to ask the questions of the world because I’m too lazy.
I gave this book five stars because it was my first time seeing a book about the past two decades and it was so interesting.
The main character is a very cool guy who has been around since the beginning of time but he was very much in love with the idea of being a star.

Originally I posted a tip/ trick for audible credits and “returning” them for a credit to be issued back. I didn’t realize at the time that this hurts authors and potentially narrators when a refund is processed.
Thank you to all who commented with truly helpful redirection on this!
It’s good to be mindful when returning which should be fair/reasonable not just for additional credits which I admittedly need to not do going forward.
Again thankful for all boundlings for redirecting me to better options than what I posted 🫶🏼

The hospital was a place where the dying could undergo the indignities of death without offending the sensibilities of the living.

I love how every chapter has a title🥰 I think chapter titles are not really common anymore, I almost never see them in books these days :/

I have a Notes app page called lady whistledown report where I write these down. One of my favorites was at a hotel’s pool where I overheard: “It’s called a court of torns and it’s a fantasy book that’s like Beauty and the Beast but dirty with sex.”
It was so hard not to laugh. And you have to picture that when she said dirty with SEX, it was emphasized like that! 😅😆 I’ve never read a court of thorns and roses, but is this description accurate?!

Post from the Smoke Gets in Your Eyes: And Other Lessons from the Crematory forum
I'm so excited to read this. I've waited for months on Libby to finally read the copy. 9% in and it didn't disappoint, although I was surprised by the writing approach to wrote it more as a novel.
My interest in mortuary and what-not came thanks to Caitlin's speech at TedTalk. YouTube randomly recommended it to me 6 years ago. She was my first encounter to white people that talked about Toraja's burial practice. Toraja is in South Sulawesi, the same where I live and born (and probably would die), so there's a certain familiarity to the topic.
"Mortician" is an unique thing, since we are muslim majority country. We have different ritual to taking care of our dead bodies along with different ethics, so I never considered the pemandi jenazah as mortician. My understanding was these mortician stuffs was exclusively for Christianity. Well, turned out it was more complicated than that. I'm self assured to call pemandi jenazah as mortician, it's a more badass name anyway for the job lol.
In summary, her TedTalk made me realize the vast concept of burial practices and how unique it was to each cultures. I mean, I knew that as a fact, each culture must have different practice, but it just never occurred to me as fascinating realization untill I saw her TedTalk. We learnt about Toraja in school like it was any other subject, I forgot people from other countries would jaw-droped when they heard people of Toraja keep their deceased inside the house (Tongkonan) for years before putting them on a casket inside giant stone wall with "cabinet" function as burial pit (Batu Lemo).

“I’m going to bed. Where I may die!” The drama with this man is insufferable 🙄 I’d just let him suffer if I was Sophie.

I kind of cringe thinking about how many updates I have for a single book because I know it bogs down my mutuals feeds. Be honest. How obnoxious is it to have to see the same books (that you might not even be interested in) come up on your feed all the time? Unfollow-worthy? Minor inconvenience? Unnoticeable?
