I have a pretty bad memory when it comes to remembering the appearances of characters in books, usually because it’s mentioned once or twice and then mostly just briefly throughout the book again.

I was wondering if anyone knew a site that had like just the descriptions of characters from books, lifted from the text even without spoilers.

I’d like to start making notes going forward for myself when reading but I’m so far into The Way of Kings now that it’s quite difficult to backtrack for character descriptions.

Any help is much appreciated, don’t even know if what I’m looking for exists but it sounds super handy, to me anyway.

Cheers. ^^

I’ve been using http://bunkrr.su a lot recently as an alternative

I’ll have to check it out, it’s not a genre I’m too familiar about myself but happy to add things to my to read list at any opportunity ^^

At the moment I’m currently reading The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson

Oh that’s great to hear, I was used to refreshing TestFlight and seeing what had been changed

Sometimes you just gotta sit, it’s relaxing, it’s not quite a full bath scenario but not quite a shower, a nice middle

Series folders are a big one for me but just having organisation is quite nice, I’ve had some issues with my e-readers sometimes where the database gets corrupted but in calibre I can backup the database.

I just think it’s neat

Ebooks question (lemmy.world)

I recently updated my kobo devices and saw that there’s a Google drive option now for storing books elsewhere, for the time being I’ve just been using calibre and moving files over myself, would there be any concerns to host non drm ebooks from mam on a Google drive if I’m only sharing it with like one person.

Cheers^^

With it being a little quieter it’s so much more calmer feeling

I’m giving wefwef a go since there seems to be more notification options, messages and such available than that of memmy

I’m currently using Memmy and it’s giving me Apollo vibes but I’m open to testing out other apps ^^

Very much enjoyed The Queens Gambit as well as The Bear so +1 for those ^^

Idk how to explain it and I imagine it’s been said plenty of times by now but it’s just, way easier to engage with posts here, usually on Reddit I’d just ignore the whole commenting aspect and just scroll through media.

I like this change, it reminds me of older social media platforms I used to use that were fairly small, player.me for instance.

When in doubt double down
