What speed do you listen to your audiobooks at? I usually start at 1.25, and then go up to 1.75 once I am used to the narrator, but it depends (for example, since I get all of my audiobooks from the library, sometimes my hold is almost up so I need to get through it sooner).

Hello friends! I’m looking for recommendations for books that helped you come to terms with being disabled, how to live with a disability, unlearning internalized ableism, anything else you think fits this vibe?? Fiction or nonfiction recs welcome For context: I’ve suspected a disability for years but powered through when I could. I finally had a doctor listen to and validate my experiences this week and while it’s lovely to be heard, it’s also hard to learn that your life really does need to change.

Hey, I'm curious - what locations, or under what situations, are your favourite to read? As per my previous post about favourite's being hard, I don't mean you need to pick one. For example, I really love curling up in a chair I have in our bedroom when I want to read with no sound, or taking myself to a pub if I am feeling like I want human connection without having to talk to anyone other than my server. Obviously this does mean I get interrupted every once in a while, but I like the ambience (and the fact that food and drink are brought to me so I have more time to focus on reading). Oh, and I love a long walk with an audiobook. Depending on what I am listening to, I might start talking back to whatever is going on out loud (but only a line here or there, not a constant monologue). Thoughts?

I picked up the first 3 books of ACOTAR after watching a mocking review of them, and I had fun hate reading along with the booktuber fun fact, I picked up zodiac academy for a similar effect but ended up loving it too much

i find it so pressurizing and overly revealing as i like books for very personal reasons and i am afraid that when they go through the texts a lot about me will be revealed along with the story.

i dont know if this is just a thing where i live (pakistan) but the price of physical books has gone way up and the guilt of buying a new book has started outweighing the joy of buying a new book. are people in other places in the world experiencing the same?

Imagine I am your bestie, and you absolutely need me to read this book that you love drop in the book name and I will challenge myself to read all of your recommendations hopefully please keep the books under 500 page limit max, no sci fi (absolutely dislike it), no philosophy and I guess that sums up the rules. after finishing the recommended book, I will reply to your comment with my thoughts and ratings.
