Are you reading more or listening more?
I'm curious how you are consuming your books. The last 5 years or so, I've listened to audiobooks pretty steadily, but this year my goal had been to try to read more than listen.
I'm finding I love listening to thrillers and historic fiction, but I don't like sitting down to ready those as much. But just this week I actually read two romance books - Yours Truly & The Breakaway, so I'm thinking this is just what I needed to get me to sit still and read. LOL! I'm also a very slow reader, so I think that's part of why I don't do a ton, but I love that I can listen and do other things, as long as they are mindless things like driving or cleaning so I can concentrate. |

I don't prefer audiobooks but they allow me to "read" more books. Lately, I would say 60% books/40%audio.

For a long time I felt so guilty about listening to audiobooks vs actually reading but I love them SO MUCH MORE and I would prefer to listen to an audiobook 98% of the time vs reading it. My mind wanders too much when trying to read but if I listen to an audiobook while walking I can actually pay attention to what is going on.
There are a few narrators i'm not totally fond of so I will often skip out on a book if I don't like the narrator. I'm currently listening to a romance - "savor it" by Tarah DeWitt. It's cute so far, I like the books of hers I've listened to prior to this one. |

Quote:
I just started Book Lovers by Emily Henry. I just listened to the People We Meet on Vacation, and I got through it in like two days, that's pretty fast for me for an audiobook, I've been averaging 1 a week, unless I have a ton of driving for work, then I'll get through more. And certain narrators are hard, oddly, I enjoy Podcasts hosted by men, but prefer audiobooks read by women. |

I think the only thing I'm doing more of lately is procrastinating. I haven't read anything in weeks! Ugh. I miss my books. Looking forward to doing some reading on our long haul flights next month since I can't usually sleep on planes.

I’m the opposite, lol I try to read on planes, but end up falling asleep. I have a book sitting on the table I bought at the airport when we came back from Disney in February 2023. lol!
