A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess It was so awful and took forever to erase it from my mind.

What are physical audiobooks? Tapes?

I rarely listen to e-audiobooks. But when I do, I get them from Amazon.

I listen to e-audiobooks. I get them from Hoopla, overdrive, Libro.fm, Scribd. Anywhere I can, basically.

Krystyna wrote: "271. Are there any books that you wish you had never read? Why?"

Behind Her Eyes by Sarah Pinborough and Come Closer by Sara Gran. Both of those books are awful, and I try not to think about them.

I listen to physical audiobooks. I check them out from my local library.

Yes! We actually decorated early this year because we have 2 little ones that just couldn't wait another second. I don't decorate my bookshelve, but you just gave me an idea!!

277. What book do you think is the equivalent to a cup of hot cocoa?

[Laurel County]

A book that I think is a perfect comparison to a cup of hot cocoa is Greenglass House by Kate Milford. It's a beautiful middle grade story that takes place in the winter, over Christmas break. It has a bit of a mystery, found family, and very cozy descriptions.

[Jennifer]

What Light by Jay Asher

The book follows Sierra who's family owns and operates a Christmas tree farm. It would be a perfect winter, Christmas read with a good cup of hot cocoa!

[Vivian]

I don't think I've ever read a Christmas book. I guess I would say The Weight of Ink by Rachel Kadish. It's a long book that you wouldn't want to read quickly. You sip on it here and there--just like you would with hot cocoa.

[Laurel County]

A Christmas Carol. The one with Patrick Stewart is really good. And the musical with Albert Finney is great. I watched the Muppet version for the first time this year, it was very good.

I'll typically watch Planes, Trains, and Automobiles in December, but it's a Thanksgiving movie lol.
