Jackalope Hope

Jackalope Hope

Small, kinda weird, possibly imaginary. Just like a jackalope!

I read a lot of fantasy and mystery, but I enjoy a pretty broad variety of genres, including classics, historical fiction, a bit of horror, thrillers, and sci-fi. I'm trying to tackle the massive goal of reading my entire physical tbr.

    For me, ankle bug bites are usually from chiggers! They are little bugs that live in grass (usually taller grass, but they can sometimes be found in residential lawns). You can spray a little bug repellent on your ankles to deter them if you know you're going to be walking on grass.

  • @JackalopeHope
    @JackalopeHope2 ай бұрын

    Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely remember that about the bug spray. I don't think it's chiggers because I haven't been out in the grass at all (I'm like the least outdoorsy person I know 😅) and they're not red like chiggers typically are, but I think it's something related based on the type of bites. I have, luckily, located the source and started the process of dealing with them, so things are looking up!

    I think my auto-buy authors are Naomi Novik, Rebecca Roanhorse, P Djeli Clark, Ann Leckie, and SA Corey. I'm nervous about reading Stephen Graham Jones. I like supernatural and folk horror, but I've seen his books more compared to slashers.

  • @JackalopeHope
    @JackalopeHope2 ай бұрын

    Ooh, good list! I haven't read Ann Leckie or SA Corey yet, but I've heard good things, and I love the others you mentioned. I think a lot of Stephen Graham Jones' books are slashers, but I think if you wanted to give his work a shot you'd probably be fine starting with Mongrels (definitely not a slasher, more a coming-of-age story with some gore) or Mapping the Interior (I haven't read this one yet, but my understanding is it's a ghost story). He also has an Audible original, The Babysitter Lives that's much more supernatural

    When you bought this did you do any research between this and the kindle scribe? If so, what made you choose the ReMarkable over Kindle Scribe?

  • @JackalopeHope
    @JackalopeHope6 ай бұрын

    I did a little bit of research on the Scribe before buying the ReMarkable, and I ultimately chose the ReMarkable because it seemed like the reviews for the Scribe weren't great (although that may have changed now that the device has been out for a little while), and because I was more interested in note-taking than reading. I already have a Kindle Paperwhite, so I didn't necessarily need another device for reading. Also, it's way easier to add PDFs to the ReMarkable, and since I read a lot of articles for school, that feature is particularly helpful.

  • @telockett9850
    @telockett98505 ай бұрын

    Good use, I use mine for school and work also. I add school PDF’s. Glad you are enjoying it. I’ve had a mine reMarkable as a pre-order 2020, so long term user. Just remember it is a NOTEBOOK replacement and compliments your other devices. It’s not an iPad or e-reader although you can read on it very well so far from the epubs I’ve added.

    Ah, yeah, that's a good point, I had forgotten about that. I don't think you *have* to have the plan, but it gives you access to the apps, unlimited cloud storage, and extended device protection. I'd forgotten about it because the new ReMarkable comes bundled with 1 year free so you can try it out. After that it's like $3USD per month

  • @telockett9850
    @telockett98505 ай бұрын

    You don’t need a monthly plan to use it, the connect plan gives you a few features you might find valuable. Personally, I feel like it’s really the extended warranty (gives you three year warranty with the connect plan). The connect plan is currently free for 1 year and then $2.99 a month. You can visit their website to see the benefits of the connect plan. Again, it’s not required. Also, you have to soft tap the device, as Wholehearted Me on KZread will remind you, your actions such as swipe its like tissue paper. She is swiping and touching it way too hard.
