Neocities

One other thing I've noticed is how sellers on Amazon vastly over price books now (going over the rrp for in print books.)

One thing which I don't like about Kelley Armstrong's e-books is that they are usually made up of short stories and novellas which are published several times in different formats. It's hard to know if you've got everything and then find that you've ended up buying it twice. (and I hate reading on screen, anyway...)

Don't know why they don't just simplify things and publish them in one print book.

The worst happens to be with the YA books because most of them could have been published as a single standalone, given the length of them.

It's been really cold here for the past couple of days (and yesterday it was raining) so my stomach is complaining about it. It's always been prone to getting 'cold' in it...

Warm drinks and wear more layers or warmer clothes? Also, definitely keep your feet warm with socks+slippers+both, IBS tends to be triggered by cold feet and you’ll feel that pain in your gut.

It doesn't really matter what you do because it is that cold. Anything temperature that is 5oC or lower just cuts through what you wear.

A useful site, this! I hardly ever find anything relevant when I search neocities using tags, etc. Thanks for making it.

I have found that there are a ton of books by Simon R Green that I do not have.

About a year ago I was sick with a chest infection (possibly Covid-19 before it was 'discovered' ) that lasted about three weeks and came back for a week or so in Jan. Had an awful pain in my leg for about 6 months afterwards, still get the occasional problem with it now but it is only now that I feel that the leg muscle affected is getting stronger.

I’m sorry to hear that, but happy you’re recovering!!

I went through a stage where I couldn't bring myself to read for a long time. It was after I'd graduated from Uni and suffered an illness which massively ruined my concentration. I have it back now, but my reading productivity is not what it was before I went to uni. I tried doing some challenges too (around the time when I was at uni and just after) and no longer do them because I found it made me procrastinate.

I was just chatting with a friend and they made a similar observation. We used to devour books all throughout middle school and high school, but college seemed to have sucked that ferocity right out of us. I graduated 4 years ago, and I just haven't been the same since. It's funny, though. I read fanfiction constantly, but I just can't pick up an original book.

Personally I just have to avoid distraction; I don't have a smartphone but I have to leave my computer alone. Then I try and stick to a set amount of reading per day, such as a chapter in the morning and a chapter in the evening.

College did the same to me!! I read much slower now, but since my internship year, I’ve been able to read for fun again!! It’s hard to get started and I typically only read a chapter a day instead of consume whole books in one night or read non-stop until a book is done, but I’m happy to rediscover that joy. Good luck! Don’t hold yourself to past standards.
