Readers and Writers You Are Doing it RIGHT!
I think book 3 from the nine fox gambit series is on the shelf behind the cart
It is 😂. No idea why it was packed in my read books. Good eye.
This looks interesting! I hope you find the right and perfect ARC readers 💙
Its rare to find ARCs for audiobooks and I am an audiobook whore
I know audiobooks are just so much more accessible at times!
So many original recs
Is it possible to take annotation in a book with it like on a kobo libra colour? I want to buy a boox tab mini c and I'm interested
Spartk & Tether really sounds like my kinda book, I will pick it up after my latest buying ban. Thanks for sharing, really varied month. Also, because of your t-shirt i would love to know which Enterprise is your favourite? Great wrap up
I’m an Enterprise D person, it was my gateway ship 😂. Absolutely pick up Sparks & Tether when your ban is over.
@@mj_james_writes I certainly will, I always like the movie constitution, but I think more often than not trek ship design is so good
tr.ee/U4f6Ph9S5X - preorder info here!
Love to know how The Darkness Outside Us is, I already have a full list of Pride reads but I want to check that one out soon regardless
I’ve heard good things, but will post a review when I finish.
Heeeey! I’ve been looking for an e tablet like this. Do you know how many days the battery lasts??
It really depends on your settings. With WiFi on and reading and writing extensively it lasts me a week. I put the time on the screensaver and it lasted me a day. With WiFi off I’ve gotten it to last two weeks. So not as great as other ereaders, but enough I don’t have to charge it all the time.
Got it! Thnx
Hoy much does the battery last with the backlight below 50%??
I always keep my backlight below 50%, so depending on other factors such as amount of refresh and wi-fi I would say between a week to two weeks.
How did you get your planner on to the scribe. I can’t get that send to kindle to send a large planner file.
There is an Amazon site called Send to Kindle that works for larger files. Just search for Send to Kindle and it should show up.
@@mj_james_writes that worked great. Thanks!
I love this book so much 😍
Thank you ❤️
can i ask how many colors it has for highlighting? i’m looking for a colored ebook reader coz i like categorizing my annotations in colors 😊 thanks for this short btw!
It gives you an option of 15 color choices (excluding white). However, that includes black, dark gray, medium gray, and light gray as well. There is not an option to add additional colors. For me personally, this has been enough variety for annotations, as well as organizing my planner events by color.
@@mj_james_writes thank u very much! the amount of colors are more than enough to consider a buy for me 😊
Are there any big concerns? I am hoping to purchase one of these in the next few months and would love to know how you feel after a few weeks of using it?
@@Grace-Grace- I have not. Others have mentioned battery life and ghosting, but I switched settings once and I haven’t had any issues. My only micro complaint is that the screen is back from the writing surface unlike other tablets.
Awesome content.
Appreciate it!
Would you recommend reading books with the quest 3?
Not regularly. But if you want an immersive reading experience occasionally it is fun.
I'm thinking about leaving KU, as well.
The benefits just aren’t there anymore for non-romance writers.
@@mj_james_writes The only reason I'm there now is that you can't run a sale unless the book is on KU. I'm starting to think it's not worth it.
You can request for it to be price matched if you put it on sale elsewhere. It is clunky but they haven’t not put it on sale when I have requested it
@@mj_james_writes That's good to know. Is there a phone number to call or something?
Awesome! I haven’t heard of this one before! 👏
I haven't read a Star Trek book in decades 🤔
It is a lot of fun picking them back up!
Reeeeeee
My life in a nutshell 🤷♀️
❤❤ this me … wait a minute here 😅😮
You got this!
Unmasking Autism was really helpful. Loved it!
Nice pics!! 👍
Thanks!!
Are you enjoying your life?! You have become disgusting, how can you love the same sex? This is crazy.
I'm so glad you are able to be yourself and that your kids have such an open-minded and accepting parent as well. :)
Thank you so much!
i love this so much!! It’s so incredibly important and inspiring, thank you for sharing your story 💞
Thank you! ❤️
Do you have any book recs with autism rep? I'd love to read one. 😊
I have loads of recommendations, but to start I'd recommend mine. :) I have a fantasy book with female autism rep and two science-fiction books with genderqueer autism rep. Some other great books include The Book Eater and The Outside. I'll be posting a whole host of recommendations in April as well and do have a few rec videos out on TH-cam.
@@mj_james_writes Thanks! I've read stuff with autistic-coded characters, but none that were connonicly autistic.
Nice list! What did you think of Mexican Gothic? I haven’t read it yet, but it sounds really interesting.
It really wasn't for me. I actually DNFed it. I pushed through to the "twist" and was done.
That looks like a beautiful book!
It really is!
I tried that with one of my books. It was pretty ridiculous 😅
Yes, I really don’t get the increased reliance on Chat GPT when it is continually wrong.
@@mj_james_writes There's a lot of stuff that it gets right. But stuff like this, it just makes up. There's even a warning message somewhere that it would be wrong.
I've used Fiverr for years now, and I found some great people on there. But I've actually encountered a few stalkers as well. Fiverr is cheaper and more reasonably priced for a self publish author just starting out.
It's so worth it!!
Thank you! ❤
I've literally cried while reading this 😢
Great approach to finishing the challenge! It definitely makes sense to go for the shorter ones and it f helps give a sense of accomplishment 👍. How awesome to do this with your kid as well. :) The only one of the books you’ve talked about that I’ve read so far is The Midnight Library. Hope you enjoy it!
Thanks! I just finished The Midnight Library and really enjoyed it.
Haha! I love that movie! (And I get the same feeling lol)
This was a creative way to share your update! 😊
Thank you! 😊
Please do an updated scribe review 😊
I have a short on the Jan 2024 update and one on how I use it for planning. I will work on an overall review as well.
That is a metric butt ton of books 😯
Yep, I'm trying to finish up a read-what-you-own challenge. My goal was 100. LOL, I may have made it too high.
@@mj_james_writes Well, I hope you make your goal. I'm too much of a mood reader to stick to a plan 😅
My God, that is a big book lol
It really is!
Been debating getting a scribe and this is helping the decision.
I use it constantly. However, there are some other great choices also. I probably would have gone with the Kobo, if the Ellipse 2 was out then.
i don't really read books at all, but i saw you on my fyp and i decided to click on your video. You seem like a cool youtube creator and all of you guys deserve some love. btw i think link to your tik tok and instagram links aren't working.
You might enjoy Interesting Facts About Space. It features a main character who does not present as neurotypical and has a heartfelt story.
That does sound interesting. Adding it to my TBR!
I so appreciate your thoughtfulness on diversity, gender-identities, and lit.
I love seeing peoples stats! I don’t do them for myself as much, but these videos are inspiring me to take a look at what my reading trends are. I completely agree about reading YA. It’s such a hit or miss for me, and I’m also in my 40s, but one of my favorite books this year was a YA fantasy lol. Glad you had a great reading year and best wishes for an amazing year going forward of both reading and writing. 🎉
Storygraph is such an easy way to see what you are reading. Eventually, I would like to build out my own spreadsheet to track more specifics. In regards to YA, it does also seem like they are not consistent in classifying what is YA and not, which makes it hard to know how I will react to it.
That's another half dozen books onto my TBR list, thanks :) . PS I loved all the Anne Leckie books.
*pterodactyl screeching* = I love this so muchie~~
i picked up Spirit Bares Its Teeth after reading Hell Followed with Us which as amazing, and can't wait to read it.I need to read mistborn this year, read book 1 years ago and loved it but for some reason never got to the others. Added a load of these onto my tbr, great top 10.
Thank you! If you enjoyed Hell Followed with Us I think you will love Spirit Bares It's Teeth.
I’ll definitely check out Surviving the City at some point. I’ve also been meaning to check out Ursula LeGuin as well. I’ve heard of so many people recently talking about her. Firekeepers Daughter has also been on my list. I think it’s so great how much you support indie authors. I only read one this year, but it was so good. Good to know there will be more of your recommendations this coming year. Yes! I would definitely participate in reading autistic authors in April 👍
I'll have a list of all my 2023 indie reads in a January video if you want some selection to pick from 😁. I'm really hoping I love the rest of LeGuin since I am committed now. Also, thanks I think I will go for the readathon.
Thanks for taking part!
