My audiobook just stopped and will NOT restart. I thought I had about 3 hours left, but apparently.... 🙁

julesG That's too bad. 5y

Johanna414 That‘s so frustrating! What app are you using? 5y

rockpools @Johanna414 It‘s called BorrowBox- might be a UK thing. It‘s got a much better selection of current popular titles, but the more I use it, the more I like Overdrive/Libby! 5y

rockpools It gets worse @julesG ! I‘d already tried ‘turn it off and turn it on again‘ & no reservations, so I thought I‘d return it and re-download. Oh, no, no, no! Returned it fine, but can‘t re-download it for 10 days, because that was how long I was supposed to keep it for. This is why the holds queues are so long - if someone returns sthg early, it doesn‘t shift things along - everyone still has to wait. I may be writing a ‘helpful feedback‘ email! 5y

julesG Definitely double ugh! 5y

Well my Litsy account was acting up and then wouldn‘t open at all! I tried logging out and back in. Finally had to uninstall and reinstall! Very frustrating but glad to be back on. It‘s still running a little slow but better than nothing 😅
I don‘t do other social media so I needed my Litsy fix!

I know some of you are using the #kindlitsy masterlist to gift even though you may not read on Kindle, so I wanted to make sure I posted for anyone perusing it. It will be updated as needed.

After a lengthy chat with Amazon, our wonderful Julie confirmed that gifting to or from a country other than your own apparently doesn‘t work. I‘ll be updating to include each person‘s Amazon store so gifters know in advance.

Boo, Amazon! 🙁

Kaye Thanks Daria. It‘s ok. I am on Amazon chat quite often. I have lots of questions, etc for them so as long as we got it ironed out , it‘ll be fine. 6y

Birdsong28 Thank you 😘📚📖 6y

EH2018 How do you get on the list @dariazeoli ? 6y

dariazeoli @EH2018 I just need the email you use for Amazon (not your kindle.com address) and the store you use 6y

julesG Wish Amazon was a little more user friendly with this. I'd love to give some books. 6y

dariazeoli @julesG I find it so disappointing that they can‘t cross honor somehow. They say it‘s something to do with copyright 🤷🏻‍♀️ 6y

julesG That's a giant load of... You can buy those books here, too. Gifting kindle books isn't an option at all in Germany. You can give someone a gift certificate but not a specific book. 6y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I even tried logging in to amazon.ca so I could through them, send something to our loan Canada participant, and no luck that way either. All the ebooks come up not available for me to even pick, let alone gift. Sorry @dariazeoli I thought I had found a work around, but nope. 🙁 6y

So I was chatting with a teen acquaintance tonight, and the subject of books they had read for the school year came up. When asked about a certain book, the response by the teen was, "I am not looking forward to that. It's just so basic, you know?"

The book? The Diary of Anne Frank. ????????

InBooksILive What?! Omg I loved reading that book in school! That hurts my heart 😔 6y

MommyWantsToReadHerBook Oh, teenagers... Hopefully the person will get a bit of a wakeup when they actually read it! 6y

callielafleur I know! I was shocked. I wanted to pull out a PowerPoint presentation about how good that book is. 6y

Cinfhen 🙄 so basic??? Oy! 6y

Bostonmomx2 😕 6y

CSeydel Sigh 6y

jpmcwisemorgan Wow. I read it first in the 8th grade and then one more time sometime before I graduated high school. It has stayed with me for almost 30 years and is probably one of the most important books I‘ve ever read, now more than ever. I hope there‘s a change of heart. 6y

CouronneDhiver God help us. This generation of kids is set up to be a mess 6y

SoniaC No words 6y

PenguinInFlight Ugh. That makes my heart hurt. 😔💔 I know we can‘t force people to love the books we love, but “so basic” and “Anne Frank” just shouldn‘t EVER go together in a sentence. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ 6y

Susannah I‘m afraid that with an attitude like that, it‘s the teen who‘s basic, not the book. What is it about teenagers that they say stuff like this? So disappointing. 😕 (edited) 6y

Bourriquet76 This hurts my heart. I can get not loving it, but basic?!?!?! 6y

Elisa I hate that words like basic, snowflake and MarySue are used so often nowadays. It‘s such an obnoxious put down — I don‘t like providing the trend to look down on people any more ammunition or vocabulary than it already has! I have to admit that hearing someone say that, especially about Anne Frank, would probably make me think a little less of them. (edited) 6y

LeahBergen 😑😑 6y

Itchyfeetreader I wonder where they got that idea from? Hope it changes when they get to experience the book 6y

Librarybelle 🙁 6y

dariazeoli That is sad. Anne Frank was one of my heroes when I was that age. I had to defend that statement against a classmate who scoffed at the idea. I‘d still defend that statement today. 6y

LikelyLibrarian I was in Amsterdam last summer and mentioned to a few people that this is one of the books all American kids read. The shocking part? None of them had read it 😱 6y

That-Bookish-Hiker 😱 Anne Frank changed my life after reading it. I hope that teen appreciates the story after they read it. 6y

No reading yesterday due to errands, grandbaby, and friends over for dinner/game night. Today has grandbaby in the morning while daddy works and taking daughter back to college in the afternoon. Maybe a couple chapters this evening? 🙏 Dont get me wrong, all of those things are wonderful! I just struggle a little when I don't get time to read and be quiet.

readingjedi Me too! My reading time is essential to my mental and emotional well-being and it is very hard sometimes to find that time with a very lively 3 year old daughter! 7y

AmyG I read one short chapter yesterday as we have friends visiting. All I can think of is when will I get a reading break. So....I feel your pain. 7y

bookandbedandtea @readingjedi When my kids were small it was a struggle to find time to read. Housekeeping moved down my priority list because I NEED to read! @AmyG I hope you're finding a little quiet time to read! 7y

BookNAround I pulled out all of my bookmarks (and I have an appalling number total plus an appalling number of duplicates which I‘m contemplating giving away) to see if I had an extra for you since I knew I had at least one Alice. Sadly, I don‘t but I uncovered all the bookmarks my kids made me when they were small and that was a true gift so thanks for causing that. ❤️ (edited) 7y

MinDea Awww, that was so nice of you @BookNAround !! So glad I helped you find your bookmarks! 😉 What a sweet gift from your kids! 7y

I have had to count to 10 waaaaaay too many times today. No one wants to listen or cooperate. My mom is taking my son to TN tomorrow for 10 days. So I'm anxious about that and he is so excited he's been bouncing off the walls and wanting to leave now and I know he is excited but enough is enough. And the hubby just isn't helping! So that's my rant for today. I think I'll take my night time medicine and read and ignore everyone else now.
