Yes! Will do!

Would love to Jenny but I don’t think I’ll manage this year. It’s just February but already I’m pretty much all booked up...

I’m watching Durarara and quite enjoying it. How’s the manga?

Loved Evelyn Hardcastle!

The Lunar Chronicles, one of my favorite series!!!

Lol
I have it on my TBR, Eileen!

Hi Kassandra, I started listening to audiobooks last year and almost gave up on them. A couple of my GR friends who love audiobooks convinced me to keep going though, saying that it takes time to get used to. Even though I still prefer physical books I must say they were right. It gets easier and more enjoyable with time. You have to find out what works for you. I myself like to listen before going to sleep (setting my sleep timer) and when I'm traveling with public transportation. It also helps me to picture in my head what is being said. Still I have to rewind quite often because my mind wanders off lol
Some people like to speed up and listen to it with a 1.5 or even 2.0 speed!
I did up listening to 29 audiobooks last year though (I had set a goal of 12).

Which mother are we talking about?"

Alice’s, saying she was not welcome

I’m at chapter 11 now. OMG! How awful it must be to have such a mother!

@Eileen Wow, 5 stars! I’m at 3 stars now but I’m only 2 hours in (it’s a 14 hour long audiobook), so that might still change!

Thank you Nele! So far so good!

Reading The Bear and the Nightingale

It may be carrying it a bit too far but I've read Mythos: The Greek Myths Retold. Of course Cronus plays a big part in this and in my opinion there isn't a "bitier" creature than the one who devoured his own children!

Listened to A Christmas Carol, my favorite Christmas story <3

You just select, copy and paste like you would do in any text. Only works on the desktop site though, not in the app.

I do have the book but may want to save it for the classics-month... I still have a bunch of other books to finish first, so won’t be able to get to it until the end of the month either way.

Good luck & happy reading Paula!

NP!|
I've started the audiobook today!
And picked up Of Mice and Men from the library :)

Thx Rosemarie!

Might squeeze this one in. It's on my TBR like forever and I see my library has the ebook.
