#kindle talk

I bought a kindle paper white in January and I love it so much. It’s really gotten me back into reading, and the books are cheaper if you buy them. Maybe 8-12 bucks for what would be 20+ dollars for a physical copy. And if you don’t want to buy the books, you can access them through Libby (from your library) on your kindle. If you have any 🏴‍☠️epub/pdf you can also upload those to your device. i’ve never tried but there are some reddit threads on how to do it.

i bought 16g but 8 is already enough to hold thousands of books. battery is great especially if you have a case that flaps like a book. once the flap is down, the kindle goes into sleep mode (the kindle itself does have a power button that will do this though). i charged my kindle fully, didn’t touch it for two weeks and it was still at 95% when i finally had time to read.

It literally never leaves my hand and it’s the easiest device to pull out on the train or wherever. Sun doesn’t bother my screen at all. I’m so happy I bought one this year. I don’t need any more features then what’s offered on it. You can highlight, type notes, and link your kindle to your goodreads account if you have to rate books and/or keep a log.

Sometimes I do wish it wasn’t just in black and white for when i’m highlighting, but overall i love ittttt. My coworker convinced to get one too!

Sorry for this long response. I get genuinely giddy when I talk about it. I’m up to book 9 in March, which is more than I read in all of 2023 combined!

What sorts of books do you like to read?

babes! this was so helpful. thank you so much 🤍 my coworker and I have talked about it, both big readers and we're just closer to saying yes because we want to decorate it. I love that it connects to

I am very much convinced now haha.

I love me a romance book. it just warms my heart recently trying to get into mystery, oh maybe a series but I'm always happy to hear suggestions 🫶

ok give me like two hours to write a oneshot about lag-induced chronic pain and its effects on players (specifically in minecraft)

I glanced at a few how-to-write-poetry books and got a bit frustrated by their assumptions that poetry needs to be this deep and laborious artistic endeavor.

Song of an Amateur

I am a simple poetess I take my pen in hand While others long for lasting fame My dreams aren't near so grand

All I want's a little ink A peaceful touch of time To gather up my humble thoughts And scribble out a rhyme

While others labor to create Immortal artistry I play with words as children play With sand beside the sea

Delighting in their shapes and forms In meter’s playful joys I let the words fall to create New literary toys

Capturing a simple sight A pithy turn of phrase To give my friends a bit of joy To brighten up their days

It’s not for me to take a place ‘mong lit’rature’s elite I’d rather gaze up at their heights And play beside their feet

So tell me not to labor long O'er words meant to impress I’d rather live quite happy as A simple poetess

Since I know you work at a warehouse, anytime we receive a pallet with something about it that displeases me I say to myself, "This would not happen if Snowy worked at our warehouse".

You're right, it absolutely would not. I release only the most high-quality of pallets

See I'm a hater to my core, but you know what I really hate right now?

Men on my book covers. It's a dealbreaker for me. Do you know how many times I've been excited for a book, gone to amazon to get it and just felt my soul being put through a meat shredder when I see like a real guy on the cover I simply CANNOT.

like why are you here? Leave me alone you ruined everything I just wanted to read a cute romcom before bed we need to start a petition to ban this

perfect day to go for a walk and cry about dead gay wizards while listening to music about dead gay wizards while thinking about a fanfiction about dead gay wizards

twink on twink action is really dangerous if you thinbk ab it bc it's like rubbing two dry sticks together which can cause a fire, so watch out guys

My gran kind of loaded off the kindle my great uncle had before he died and I kind of don't want it because I like physical books more also amazon product however i've just noticed the web browser so I'm going to toy with this thing maybe.

“He didn't want to think about the ramifications of the Fire Nation successfully flying one of those war-balloons over the Lower Ring… The only protection available for those poor people would fall squarely on the shoulders of those new recruits, and they would have to be ready to carry that responsibility. This situation was already a mess and they were still in the planning stages.”

Can’t believe I ignored this last chapter. Good thing Zuko isn’t in one of these meetings or there’d be a fight. Interested to see if this is a redemption for Iroh though to think of the little people or if everyone is just completely fine with the lower ring being burnt to a crisp. Bato clearly has his mind on other things so someone else needs to step up. Jeez

Bato isn’t the only one concerned about this, Suki is also pretty fired up about it in the next chapter… the tension of the upcoming battle gets heavier as we go along.

Unfortunately, there really isn’t much they CAN do to keep the Lower Ring from experiencing casualties…. but how many citizens survive & how bad the destruction is will depend on how many resources they send down there and what their plan of action will be to save lives. (If they even care about saving those lives… many of them being refugees and ‘lower class citizens’)

I am also curious to see if Iroh shows any interest in trying to help the citizens in Lower Ring or if he keeps his focus strictly on keeping the forces from reaching the Upper Ring (where his precious Zuko is)… chaos in the Lower Ring can keep troops from advancing, and there is limited space to flee depending on how Azula advances upon the city… idk. I can’t see it going well, and even Iroh, as powerful as he is doesn’t hold much authority over what the generals do with BSS… He is a tentatively welcomed guest after all. Haha.

we’ll see I guess!! Haha thanks for the ask!!

"My apologies for attacking you, it is, unfortunately, my duty to protect this territory."

"Hey, don't worry about it! I've definitely bested beasts more powerful than you >:)"

"ok sure"

I would think that Kindle & Orion (@onyxstic's lil' guy) would be good friends lol. They'd probably meet while Orion is exploring this random planet during one of her hunts, they end up in a bit of a scuffle, he convinces her he's chill, and, bc she feels bad for attacking this random child, Kindle heals him up. They end up bonding a bit (Kindle's excited to talk to someone who isn't one of her siblings lol) and decide to meet up every so often to catch up and just vibe tbh.

(I actually adore how this came out bc my shading & backgrounds are usually crap, but they look pretty good in this. this was also supposed to be finished earlier but i just kept adding stuff to it lmao)

Characters:

Orion - not mine

Kindle (The Huntress) - mine
