Books @lemmy.ml Starcross @lemmy.blahaj.zone Looking for quality elastic bookmarks
So, I am trying to find quality elastic ribbon bookmarks that won't damage my books. I want this kind of bookmark because I use these types of elastics for my tablet cases and there is one on a notebook I have and it's really satisfying to close out my experience by reapplying the elastic band. Does anyone have any suggestions for a quality set of these bookmarks? Thanks in advance!

I want to like more fantasy books written by woman but they alway feel targetted at woman, what are some good neutral series like ROTE?
Realm of the Elderlings is my favorite series of all time and its written by a woman, but every other book series ive read that ive liked has been written by a man. Not sure how to describe how most books I tried written by woman in the past felt other than the audience not feeling like me. Realm of the elderlings I never had this issue, I enjoyed following the female protoganists and the fool even if I dont identify with how they feel, so I think its not necessarily the main character being a male for half the series being why I like it.
I just typically dont like men written by woman like woman rightfully dont like woman written by most male authors, since it tends to be done poorlly. Looking for series/authors that do a good job of representing both genders and writing for them, not misrepresenting either or acting like its the only thing that defines them and all their actions.
I know a series is good when it has me believing that the author is actually just writing dreams they have of another world
Like when they dream they are somehow tapping into another reality and seeing lives play out, the they are reframing and writing it as stories to sell.
Some examples of series that made me feel this way are the Realm of the Elderlings, gentleman bastards, red rising and the Kingkiller Chronicles (tho this one is framed that way on purpose kind of with the unreliable narrator and book within a book vibe)
Sometimes series will give me this vibe for the first book or two but then lose it, as if they no longer dream of that reality and are now just making stuff up without real context. Lightbringer and the warded man series felt like that.
What book would you love to see made into a movie?
For me, it's King's "Fairy Tale". I think it would make a great movie. Here is to hoping that Hollywood hears my prayers. Lol

I tried looking up suggestions myself, but it's a little daunting with so many series to choose from. 😅 Especially with many series spanning 10+ issues!
