message 3901: by Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely (new)

Niki Hawkes - The Obsessive Bookseller | 7639 comments Mod
Random funny thing, so I joined a group kind of like this one, but for my singing app and we use Line (a separate app) to chat and stuff. It has all these emotive stickers you can use and just regular old emojis. Well, I'm so used to communicating on here (where even emojis didn't work for a long time) that I still use simple text smiley faces and stuff to communicate.

They've laughed at how "archaic" I am hahaha. I even caught myself using the < b> to try and bold something lol.

Could have been better, but the ending satisfied me. I probably would be harsher if I had to wait for the release though.

That was my take. I think the ending made up for the endless dialogue to a degree. :)


message 3904: by Virginie (new)

Virginie | 6129 comments Yeah. I expected this last installment to be dialogue-heavy but... Not this heavy. It was like 90% of the book xD
But all in all, everything was wrapped up nicely, no loose ends, and Bob got to show-off his genius so I'm happy.

Have you (or anyone in the team) read Aaron's Eli Monpress series?

Yes!! I always seem to recommend it when people say they want something fun. I think you'll like it for many of the same reasons you liked Heartstrikers. And to follow suit, the last two books are a tad long winded lol. I really enjoyed it!

Haha you're not alone with the archaic...and the emotes....
I will tell you what happened just a few days ago. So I wished our Jenna a happy bday and she replied...but there was <3 at the end of each of her comments...and I was perplexed bcuz I have no clue what this means. I am so technically challenged....at first I thought I had made a(nother) social gaffe and was all noooonooo...but it is a typed-out smiley...
I think...she was just happy with me...😂
Yeah! I confess...I am challenged....
😂😂😂

Haha no worries. I had to have someone tell me what that was too to start with. We'll just keep on being happy and archaic together. :)

I might read that one after I'm done with Midnight Tides (Malazan #5). Maybe. Then again, maybe it's time to switch genres for a bit.

Mmmh. Life is being a bitch these days and decided to knock me down. So I'm fighting back, and am totally planning on kicking its butt, slay it, cook it and then eat it! Yum yum!

(Yes, I realize I sound slightly insane. *shrugs*)
