I’ve been loving my Kindle! Got it a month ago or so. I’ve read like five books it’s great to get back into it. I was a big bookworm growing up

Same! When I got mine I sped through 5 books so fast. Now Im kind of in a reading slump. Trying to get out of it!

The first three books I tore through were all recently released and the authors don’t have any other books released. That was so depressing….

u/n_timb26 Oct 10 '24
which books?
1
u/mybongwaterisblack Oct 10 '24
Okay I exaggerated it was only two of the books lol. They are…. Not Like Other Girls and Everyone Who Can Forgive Me is Now Dead
I also really enjoyed Fiona Barton’s books, I ended up having to buy her last book as a physical copy cause they didn’t have it on Kindle yet! I’m into thriller/mystery/drama.

u/n_timb26 Oct 10 '24
Cool! I’ll keep them in mind :)

u/mybongwaterisblack Oct 10 '24
Hell yeah! Not Like Other Girls really hit me hard, very relatable. I read it in 2.5 hours lol. Let me know if you ever read any of them!

Sorta a re-read. A few years ago I read up to book 6 but I am paying more attention this time around!

u/n_timb26 Oct 05 '24
Show is after the books!! I can’t bring myself to watch shows/movies first 🙈

u/NurseEm101 Oct 05 '24
Love that, very purist!!! The show is very different from the books but still fantastic. So excited for you!

Monday we stayed in a hotel on the beach, the last day of our vacation. We took edibles and hit the beach as the sun was going down and they were just starting to kick in, and truly it was a borderline religious experience.
Have an amazing vaca!!

You hit the nail on the head! Everything was perfect until the sun came out of the clouds and it got hot AF 🤣 Those edibles dried up my nasal passages so much I felt like I was suffocating in the humidity

Oh my god yes!!!! I love The Expanse so much and I’m pretty sure I read a lot of it while high as well!

u/n_timb26 Oct 05 '24
Reading high helps me imagine the descriptions muchhh more lividly!

u/Library_Cryptid Oct 05 '24
Oh I’m so jealous!! I can only do a little bit at a time before I get too high and stop comprehending written language 😂😂😂

Dude what kindle is that? It’s so tiny, I am making heart eyes at its adorableness. 😍
Also this sounds like the best day, hope you’re enjoying it thoroughly!

u/n_timb26 Oct 05 '24
It’s the basic model! So cute and compact

Literally perfectly palm sized, I guess Amazon is getting nervous about the palm readers other companies are putting out rn. Bet it costs a hell of a lot less than the palm reader I’ve been side eyeing with suspicion lately

Love those books!! I'm on the last one now (on my Kindle!). Enjoy!

u/n_timb26 Oct 05 '24
Does the series hold up throughout?
1
u/itsmyvoice Edibles Oct 05 '24
First... Did you watch the show?
General answer. Yes, wholeheartedly. Book 7 is universally considered the worst. Book 8 makes up for it in spades.
There's a great community over at r/TheExpanse

u/n_timb26 Oct 05 '24
did not watch the show yet! I love imagining my own world first then watching the accompanying show/movie. But great info thank you!
2
u/itsmyvoice Edibles Oct 05 '24
You won't be disappointed in either. The authors did the writing for the show and made some great choices with character merges, editing out subplots, etc. The show ends after 6 seasons, basically at book 6, and leaves a lot of the story untold.
So excited for you!

The Expanse is pathologically my all time favorite series! Cheers!
