@_Knight_writer Look at the audio books and work out half or two thirds of the time for each, and that will be your natural reading speed

@hashjenni It would depend on how well this company values me - if they don't wish to counter offer, it would make sense to leave

@byMorganWright If you're able to buy privately, and the supplement is available, get gummies instead. Flavoured and much easier to make into small bits. I use Iron+vit C, vit D, and folic acid gummies

@imnoloon Take something with you that you can use - earphones to listen to podcasts, phone for scrolling, a book to read. And the knowledge that everyone around you is wrapped up in their own life and not paying you any mind

@MilaLovesJoe I hold the door open if someone is nearby and look like they want to go through a door. If they're a distance away, I let it shut. Nothing about the person is relevant bar distance.

@sophiegrenham Stand absolutely still and make eye contact. They will break around you. If they ask what you are staring at, you just politely say 'there is no room to pass so I am just waiting for the space to open'. Never fails.

@MsBoo24 @Waterstones It worked on one 1 of the 12 I planned to pre-order 😂 so I didn’t submit. Better to wait on a double stamps day!

[Caroline McLoughlin @BlueStarBooks87]

@MichaelRosenYes Does it not simply mean nearby and not within?

[Caroline McLoughlin @BlueStarBooks87]

Turns out only one of my preorders qualifies 😭 #waterstones

@gemmaEdenham To be fair, they could have been reading on their phones. I had an old man pass comment to me "kids can't get off the internet" because I had earphones in. I showed him my book on my phone and he apologised. It's not always that obvious.

@AletheaRLyons My understanding is that they were small "torrid" novels, cheaply made and easily available, giving people access to storytelling without high prices or religious lecturing (Glasgow, UK)

@Bibliotreasures This is a pet hate of mine. You follow the people you want to curate being in your timeline. Following back just messes up your timeline more. It is only appropriate for pairs who want the numbers over the timeline, i.e. business, influencing etc. I don't do that, so I don't F4F!

@WillieHandler I went with mum and dad to buy the presents and gift wrap, sat and wrapped and addressed them all with mum, then went with dad as he drove round dropping them all t my cousins'. Still didn't twig until I was 7.

Considered rereading The Stormight Archive now that Wind of Truth is out, because a lot of the details went over my head. As life is short and I’m nearly 40, I looked at the audiobooks.

270 hours including WoT. Even at double speed, and 2hrs a day, we’re talking start of March!

@Closeyboy36 A 12 hrs/wk cafe job near me received 400+ applications. They had 2 staff. How can they respond to that many applications?
