Sorry man. Feels like 2024, no more no less. Friendship and willingness to be around people (in person) is an old fart thing. Nowadays I only invite or make plans with my really close friends. Friends that are more family than friends.
Those casual friends we used to have are gone for good between laziness and socializing on-line, whatever that is.
If you were my neighbor and invited me I would've totally attended and decimated those delicious quesitos!
Yeah, I'd say it's not worth watching lol
I read it ~20 years ago so I do not remember much. I'm watching the series though and sometimes it's so bad that makes us laugh. One of the things that makes me lose interest a lot lately is the amount of scenes void of any sense because they simply don't explain anything. They just make up watch time, which is good for Amazon I guess.
It is pretty common in modern movies and series so depending on your age you might not care.
I'd say skip the series and enjoy the book.
It is incredibly expensive. I only buy the ones I need for academic reasons... And you can imagine the artwork on those 😂
There's plenty of second hand libraries here that make deals like buy 3 for 5€. That plus public libraries is what keeps me reading to be honest!
Ping just to see if you found something relevant/interesting! :)
Wow! That's one thing I miss when reading on e-books. It's extremely convenient, but I miss those treats and the whole experience of holding a beautiful volume!
You're welcome! I hope you find something you like :)
Fair point lol I don't find the "discover" feature attractive, so I've been using the Openreads app just to keep track of what I've read year to year (a great app, by the way!)
Edited to add that maybe different instances of bookwyrm have different ways to review your books? I may be wrong about this, but I think it is worth checking if you really want to try an open alternative.
https://bookwyrm.social/ is what I've been using. I'm not an avid tracker though.
I tried thestorygraph, liked the idea but I don't like my readings to be guided by an algorithm and also I don't feel like paying for a platform, especially if I'm not using the main feature (the recommendations)
