I do. The first thing that caught my attention when she invited me over were the photos with Stephen King books on them, I got five of them. I have never read horror before, and I am loving it (It even made me read a published manual on the rules of Roque, just to know what the hell it really were).

Actually I never saw the movie either, by choosing not to until now. So I am going in completely clean and having no idea how the story actually ends. I will watch it only once I have finished the book.

It is indeed hard to go back. My current phone is the first one I haven't flashed in +10 years. I think about it sometimes, but I fear I might lose my macro camera... I found out that I really like photographing insects.

Besides the downvoting, there is not much blind disagreement comments here, nor agreement ones. Definitely a comment section worth reading. Fair points of views on both sides.

It still looks great! I don't think the yellowing of the plastic affects it that much, as it is just a base.

This site has the smell of the old internet, it was a real trip to read it. This sign really is a cool donation, I loved it. Do yours still works?

I wonder if my book collection will end up with some other reader years from now... 20 years is lot of time to read them all.

I never had a camera, but I was the guy using family ones to take pictures for free in events and parties all the time. Nothing beats the feeling of using a real camera.

It took me 5 trips to carry those 112 books home. I can't even imagine how much time it will take for me to read them all.

I imagine the smile you had in that photo. This sure is a Make-a-Wish for a sports fan. XD

I have spent years using Cyanogen on Moto G2. I wish I could be one of the guys donating to help the developer of that phone then. I was just a kid tho, but I used to read all his blog posts at the time.

Japan's disaster stories are bone chilling. One of the books I got is called Dirty Hearts, it tells about the Japanese who fled to Brazil after the nukes. I have read just the beginning, but it already hit hard. I hope your friend is still ok. :)

I have looked it up here, those novels look awesome. I will try to get some of them for sure. I didn't know about Discworld, but to start a series about a planet in a turtle's back, Pratchett must have great stories to tell. XD

 

Some days ago, a neighbor invited me over because she was donating books that belonged to her husband, who died from covid during the pandemic. There were a lot of books, and even by choosing only the ones which caught my attention, I was able to get over 100 different books.

It was the first donation I have ever received and I got really happy about it. I am already halfway through The Shining, which was in the collection. So it got me thinking about donation itself.

What about your experiences with it? And I am asking about donation of things, not money.

 

I have been looking through the settings for something that could hide links or at least move them, so they don't show up on top of images. Is that a feature yet?

Loving the app so far, btw. :)
