Ooo, those are good ones...

[Olly]

[Olly]

*:)

[Joey]

I. WILL. DIE. FOR THE BOOK THIEF. Sorry. Not literally, but seriously that book was so good. Also I think that was one of the first movies I ever cried in? Maybe?

[Harper Nicole]

Okay, so my mom read All The Light We Cannot See, and then read the Book Theif, and didn't think it lived up to the other one at all, so I think you'll love All The Light We Cannot See if you read it!

[Kacie]

i really wanna read All The Light We Cannot See also!

[Joey]

Ughhh Harper ik I’ve told you this like four times but I seriously need to read that. You know what? *puts it on hold* okay. That’s taken care of

[Harper Nicole]

Yeah, I know. It's called peer pressure. Lol Well, yay! I'm excited to see what you think!

[Joey]

Hehe, well it’s good for me. Libby is telling me I have to wait 9 weeks... dang...

[Harper Nicole]

Yeah, last year we had to wait two months, I think.

[Joey]

I can get the audiobook a lot sooner but im not sure if I wanna listen to it ya know? What would you say? Is it an audiobook kind of book would you say? If you know what I mean?

[Joey]

Lol

[Harper Nicole]

I know what you mean. Lol Hmm, the biggest thing about it is it's such beautiful writing, so if it's a great reader then yes. But otherwise, I would vote just read it.

[Emily (I'll be gone except for book updates for awhile), The Emical]

I'm trying to do an audiobook but I think it's harder to get into it. At least for me it is but you might like it

[Harper Nicole]

I like reading books way better.

[Silver Snapdragon]

I’ve never tried an audio book. I’m nearly positive it would drive me crazy! 😁

[Harper Nicole]

Lol!

[Emily (I'll be gone except for book updates for awhile), The Emical]

What's the worst is when you get someone who reads it like they're half asleep. Its horrible!!

[Kacie]

haha yeah. I always listen to my audiobooks at 2x speed, because otherwise it's waaaay too slow.

[Karin]

Right now I'm reading a book a day. I just reread the Little House books (raided my kids' shelves since our library is closed and I'm trying to make those books last) and am also reading The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy which has all five books of the series plus a short story, but I am counting them as individual books for a reading game (fair since they were published separately first).

Same. For me sometimes 3x faster. Lol

Mine only goes up to 2x😒 Usually that's fast enough tho:D

[Harper Nicole]

Yeah, usually it is.

[Emily (I'll be gone except for book updates for awhile), The Emical]

Mine only goes to 2x too

[Joey]

Thanks for the advice Harper! I’m gonna see what the narrator is like and then decide.
And same! I listen to most of my audiobooks on at least 2x cause my brain processes way faster than those people talk xD

[Silver Snapdragon]

I used to listen to math videos at 2x cause the guy talked so slow! Hehehe

[Kacie]

haha yeah I've done that too

[Karin]

What do you listen with where you can speed it up? I am guessing not a CD player.

[Kacie]

I use the app overdrive

[Joey]

I use Libby for audiobooks and they have an option that allows you to speed it up to slow it down

[Karin]

Kacie wrote: "I use the app overdrive"

Yes, I figured it had to be an app. I now have some of my old audible books on this new Mac and will see if I can speed up the listening. I prefer CDs and listening off line, and if I'm driving the slower pace is good, but not all the time.

Back in the dark ages, you could get tape players where you could speed things up, but not so with CDs.

[Harper Nicole]

We use Hoopla for audiobooks.

[Emily (I'll be gone except for book updates for awhile), The Emical]

@Joey I use Libby too

[Emily (I'll be gone except for book updates for awhile), The Emical]

@Joey I use Libby too

[Joey]

Oh sweet Emily! Libby is really convenient for me

[Emily (I'll be gone except for book updates for awhile), The Emical]

Especially now when we can't go to the library

[Emily (I'll be gone except for book updates for awhile), The Emical]

I'm starting The Queen's Rising with Harper and almost done with Poison Study

[Harper Nicole]

I'm reading The Queen's Rising with Emily, and I'm LOVING IT!!! If you're friends with me and you can't tell from all of my updates... Lol

[Emily (I'll be gone except for book updates for awhile), The Emical]

Great!!!! I haven't seen your updates tho. let me check for them...

[Harper Nicole]

Lol

[Kacie]

I'm about to start Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

[Emily (I'll be gone except for book updates for awhile), The Emical]

Okay just saw them. Girl your a fast reader! I didn't get to start it yesterday so I'm doing it now

[Harper Nicole]

Oh, I've been reading all afternoon, so not really. I'm quite slow, actually, it's just so good!

[Emily (I'll be gone except for book updates for awhile), The Emical]

Can you pause for the night so I can catch up? Sorry I just really want us to be around the same place. I should be where you are by tomorrow

[Harper Nicole]
