Scribd: My newest best friend!
Reading multiple books at a time can be a blessing and a curse. That’s why audiobooks can get really handy, especially when a) you’re trying to overcome a reading slump and b) you can read wherever you are, whenever you want.
And that’s the reason why I subscribed to Scribd!

Hello awesome nerds and happy Thursday everyone!
It’s been exactly two weeks since I found out about Scribd, and let me tell you, this is the best thing that could actually happen to a bookworm like me considering how November is going so far.
Long story short, I started tutoring to a new academy this past Tuesday, which means that I only have Wednesday free in the afternoon. I work an average of twelve hours every day, my day job and my tutoring classes combined, which means that I don’t have as much time as I want to in order to read, and more importantly write, considering that we’re already two weeks in NaNoWriMo. In addition to the fact that I have quite the commute every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, this leaves me with no other option than… audiobooks!
Let me tell you, this whole thing has turned driving to a completely new experience.
Not only I’ve managed to finish an eARC and an audiobook so far, but I have also managed to overcome, more or less, my reading slump.
I’m currently reading (physically), Six of Crows, by Leigh Bardugo, and The Beautiful, by Renée Ahdieh, but I’m also listening to the Sea Witch, by Sarah Henning, and The Raven Boys, by Maggie Stiefvater.
I know what you’re gonna say… “How can you focus on four different books?”
Well, that’s the beauty of reading both on physical form and listening to an audiobook. It helps you distinct the stories, considering that, when listening to an audiobook, the narrator is probably different and they know were to emphasise, how to add some more suspense and intrigue you in order to keep listening to the book. On the other hand, reading a physical copy is as cozy as ever, especially now that the nights have grown chillier and there’s nothing better than a good book and a hot mug of chocolate.
I know it may seem impossible for some people to read more than one book at a time, but I’ve figured out that if I want to have content for my blog, and if I want to keep up with both the “older” books and the new releases, I need to find a solution. And that’s the easiest, and cheapest I may add, I came up with.
As you know, I have already read Tears of Frost, by Bree Barton, and The Devouring Gray, by Christine Lynn Herman. What you don’t know is that I’m already halfway through both on Six of Crows and The Beautiful, and I have already listened to 10% of both Sea Witch and The Raven Boys. And if this reading madness of mine continues as such, I’ll have a reading big wrap up to share with you at the end of the month. Just a reminder that something like that hasn’t happened since mid to late 2018!
Fingers crossed I keep myself motivated in terms of both reading and writing!
Do you guys read multiple books at a time? What subscription services do you use in order to listen to audiobooks? Do you borrow books from your local libraries?
Thank you all for being here once again. It means the world to me and I want you to know that I most certainly don’t take your presence here for granted.
Love you all, awesome creatures!
Till next time… Toodles!
