I have to do my reviews right after I read a book or I'll forget names and specific info. It helps that audible and Kindle prompt me for a review at the end of the book.

My future lazy self HATES the current lazy me. lol
Buddy reads totally help because I can skip back over my BR comments or my highlights lol!
I'm still learning highlights. :)
Highlighting and bookmarking are how I get through my BR comments! I hate stopping in the middle of something to update so I save it all till the end. It’s impossible to remember where things occurred if I don’t bookmark or highlight it!

Thats something I need to do also as I spend too much time re-reading if I don't comments as I go. It can't be done on audio though can it?

Yes. Well I don’t know about audible but when I borrow books through Overdrive/Libby you can bookmark and save your thoughts on the audio as well. Then pull them all back up later.

I highlight all the time for my reviews. Also helps me to recall the important events.
Yes my books are from audible but I listen to them from my iphone but I can't find how to bookmark them.
I’m not sure that I’ve ever used audible before so I don’t know how it looks. I’m sure audible has something similar if not better than what the library apps are working with though. Most of my audios come from KU or through overdrive/Libby
I just looked at my audible app and there's a button that lets you save a bookmark! Yes that's awesome
You should be able to hit something that will pull up all your “bookmarks” and you can click on each one individually which will take you back to that particular spot at the same time letting you know what chapter or % your at.
The way it work for me (i use an iPod) is go to the bottom right hand corner and you’ll see bookmark click thatThen at the top right you should see three dotées. Click that and find bookmarks.
I listen to my books in iBooks but if I swap to the Audible app I may be able to do that. I see the app now lets me access all my audio books in iTunes not just the ones from my Australian account. I have an US account also because they offer different books or they did years ago when I first opened it.
:( No it won't let me play the books from iTunes it just plays music. So I am stuck with just the books in my Australian account but most of my books are in the US one.
The last time I bought an audio book in iBooks it sent the audio to iTunes and now that I have Apple Music it doesn’t allow me access to it anymore. It was the chronicles of Narnia boxset audio. I have the physicals so I haven’t stressed over it but I never figured out how to do audios in ibooks
I down load them in Audible and they go straight to iTunes on my computer then sync them to my iphone. Then if you look in library in iBooks select Audio books from collections they are all there.
When I go to audiobooks it goes to a shopping type page where I can browse the selection but none of mine are listed
Mine used to do that but my phone had an update a while back and it has all changed.
down the bottom mine now hasReading Now, Library, Book Store, Audiobooks, Search
I now go into Library, collections, Audiobooks
Omg!! It’s there! You totally just walked me through it!! I stopped using iBooks years ago because of this lol and you just schooled me! Thanks Gillian!!!
It’s downloading now!! Since it wasn’t on my phone!
Finished with
for #13 with Bonus and
for # 44 with Bonus. I should get them posted later tonight.
in an Anthology I had on hold from the Library eons ago and have to get it read and returned as apparently 3 people are waiting on it. I'll try to make it fit somewhere...Has anyone seen or heard from alex? I have a book I can read for #47 with bonus. She doesn't have anything down for it. Should I go ahead and read it?
@Edit-A do you need any help with your numbers, I'm running out of direction. We really need to get #s 4, 5, and 9 done to complete part 1. I have a book I can read for #5 if you want?
I have a book that will work for #4 Island of the Blue Dolphins, and a book that will work for #9 with the bonus Rock-a-bye Baby. I'll be reading both today.
I added a new book to the banked/already read tab in the SS. Let me know if you want me to post anywhere now.
@Edit-A I stuffed up for #51 forgot about it needing 2 junk do you want to put your book Defy in there?
its not tagged junk at all. so it wont get the bonus points either Gillian.
I haven't been able to find anything tagged junk.. sorry I got nothing 😢
Did you look in the junk list?
Finished
and banked it. Reading
to bank for #3.
Go to browse, go to genres. Type in junk. Voila
Tiera wrote: "Is browse available on mobile?"Uh. I'm not sure. I don't think so.
Bah I’ll have to wait till I get back home!
It's pretty easy. It's marked read, currently reading and want to read and everything. Makes it easier to find books. :)
So I went to the junk list, but when I tried to find the tag "junk" in the books in the list, I can't find it - can I mark it as junk if it's on the junk list or do I have to find the tag at least twice?
Once you are on the junk list you will see near the author 'tagged junk x amount of times'
I thought I had picked one that was marked junk twice but when I went to do my post it was only marked as once. I can find another one it's not a problem. I just saw Edit-A Defy as alreadyread/banked in that slot.
