#BotM

DebinHawaii
What's Where in the World | Kindersley Dorling

I share this for the humor. I have been missing my February #BOTM box which shipped out on 2/1 & still hasn‘t arrived, although my March box got here on 3/7. I emailed #BOTM & they gave me a free book credit (nice) & told me they would send replacements if there was no update after 30 business days from the last tracking date (2/7 it departed San Francisco). Anyway I have been checking on it a few times a week & finally this Wed it showed it was⬇️

DebinHawaii …in Pago Pago. I put in a USPS inquiry about it & a very nice Hawaii post office worker called me & said they were sorry, it was put in the wrong barge from SF. So it was on the slow-slow barge for 7673 km to Samoa instead of the slow-ish 2383 km barge from SF to Honolulu. Now it has to go back on a barge & go 4195 km from Pago Pago to Honolulu. ⬇️ (edited) 5d
DebinHawaii …The best part was when I asked the guy how long he thought that might take & he was like “Well, it could be another few weeks” as apparently Pago Pago doesn‘t have regular mail barge service all that often, usually (optimistically ) maybe once weekly or bi-weekly… I have to laugh as my box is better traveled than I am. I hope it‘s having a good time & wearing its sunscreen! 😂😂😂☀️🌈 (edited) 5d

julesG 😂🥰 I hope the box is full of interesting stickers once it arrives. 5d
quietlycuriouskate I had a parcel once that for reasons of its own left the UK for a tour of Germany before returning to the UK. Yours is a whole other level, though! 🙃 5d
Bookwormjillk Wow, that‘s a well traveled box of books! 5d
vlwelser Are you sure you don't live in MI? Because these are @TheBookHippie worthy mail shenanigans. 5d
TheBookHippie @vlwelser Right?! One of my Halloween cards just got delivered to Chicago … 🤣 5d
Suet624 That‘s amazing. And also annoying. 5d
marleed Oh wow! I sent my sister a local Pre Super Bowl t-shirt with what should have been plenty of pre-game arrival time. It was late and I forgot to get the tracking info. Damn, it was January/February and we really wanted to know if that t-shirt was sunning on a beach somewhere! But Pago Pago🤣🤣 5d

Sad to report Hannah‘s latest, already so beloved by so many, was just okay for me. I appreciated the story she was trying to tell, but it felt a bit choppy and rushed and soap opera-esque. I was very disappointed by the heavy focus on romance. #BOTM

Hooked_on_books Hannah has never appealed to me for those very reasons, so I‘m glad I‘m staying away from this one. 1w
marleed The double romance was almost an insult to bad-ass Frankie doing a double-tour. I prefer to think she was too busy and focused for that! 1w
Kitta Oh this is probably not for me then, I don‘t like books focused on romance. I‘ll give it a pass. Thanks and good review! 1w
ReadingisMyPassion I loved it. I know what it is like to be overlooked as a veteran because I am female. Not a popular choice when I was 18. 3d

Haven‘t been on Litsy in a while! And so behind on reviews. Picked this one up as soon as it came in the mail from #BOTM. Quick different type of romance story where they break up weddings together.

This book is getting buzz in science magazines because it‘s about a sentient sex robot. It‘s a quick read that leads one to consider patriarchy, capitalism, and freedom. #BOTM

The vast majority of this was deeply unsettling and uncomfortable for me. I don‘t know how to commend this more than: 🤢😭🤯♥️. 5 glowing stars.

Avanders I should have mentioned this earlier — there are definitely triggers here — sex, abuse, and gaslighting type triggers. 2w

My #BOTM came and I immediately started this one. It's about a sentient sexbot who starts to gain autonomy.

I came in with really high expectations for this and maybe that was the problem. I don‘t think there was anything wrong with it per se, it just wasn‘t as compelling as I hoped for.

⭐️⭐️💫

Cathyloves2read I thought the exact same thing 4d
Kristy_K @marleed @Cathyloves2read I hate when this happens. I would rather come in with lower expectations and be surprised. 4d
