There was time if I wanted a book, music, movie… I could get them. Easy. Really easy.
Those days are gone. Especially books. The cost of an ebook is ridiculous and right now, all three of my kindles are not up to snuff. My fire won’t load books at all, my PC Kindle crashes at the slightest whim, not to mention the more of them that are ‘opened’ and loaded, the heavier it is. It already takes 2 hours for the damn thing to open up and when it does, it eats up more than 65% of my memory. I still use my 5 button, but it no longer goes online and I can’t get it reregistered. The books I got elsewhere besides Amazon I can manually load, but the ones I get from Amazon? Nope.
It’s a stupid thing to whine over, I know. My blood sugar is up and I have cotton mouth. We are looking at another tight pay period. Good news with that, is we are eating at home a lot, which we should.
And we saw a lot of death again this weekend, from one that was expected to several that weren’t. And then a total shocker, for me. Right now, I’m just trying to function.
I’m hungry and it’s an early lunch, but a LONG day. Meh.
So let’s cut to the chase. Mancandy it is…
Have a great week.

Hang in there. Have a good week too!!!
Great pic of him, rugged with a little too tight shirt. Love those wrinkles though, keeping it real!!
I hope things get better. For e-books, I almost always read on my phone. I have way too many book apps – iBooks, Kobo, Kindle, Wattpad, plus audiobook apps and Goodreads! But at least the books can be stored off-device, which helps.
I have a PC Kindle, old 5 button kindle, and a decrepit Fire. I also have an elit reader on my old laptop as well as a PC Nook.
My Kindle Cloud is full. Really.
So many books. So little time.
I need to schedule a reading summer. I’ve not had one in 10 years.
Also need to schedule a reading Thanksgiving and a reading Christmas and a reading Spring Break.
Hi. My name is Zee and I’m a Book-a-Holic.
Well I’m a shop-a-holic, a movie-a-holic and a Guy-a-holic ….. sigh… sigh. I liked to become a Book-a-holic too!!!
I can arrange that if you’re interested…
Have you joined Dreamerfiction? Lots of great fanfic there!!!
Yep with Dreamerfiction, I’m perusing it more now that I am finally signed up! I like the diversity of the writing there although in all honesty I’m not so much a fan of the shipping of Thorin and Bilbo so I stick with Guy (yours are fantastic by the way), Standring, Lucas, even Porter bec I’ve watched those more often now than The Hobbit series. I love Thorin but my Tolkien and LOTR knowledge is sparse (I haven’t seen the LOTR series yet, heavens to betsy!!!!) so some of that fanfic will be alien to me where I won’t understand the context or references.
I need to read more. I fear I’m escaping into Netflix, Amazon too much lately for a number of reasons but reading is much healthier mentally for me than the movies and tv shows route exception of course RH. TMI sorry…
There is plenty of Thorin WITHOUT Bilbo fanfiction – I wrote a little novelette – Loving Gin.
My first foray into Fanfiction was LOTR. I hadn’t read the books, just saw the movie (that has since been corrected) and the movies are quite good.
There is a forum with a listing of all the chaRActers by chaRActer, so it’s easy to find what you’re looking for.
Thanks for all your recommendations and guidance
Much much appreciated 👍👏😀
No worries. I am NOT a slash fan in the least, and like Real Person even less. So it makes my day to see Thorin with a deserving female!
Any more commentary/words of wisdom from your 3rd grade admirer?
No, I don’t have him this week….
Would I love to be a fly on the wall when he is in your class …
He’s a cutie. Makes my day.
