Post from the Carl's Doomsday Scenario (Dungeon Crawler Carl, #2) forum
I am enjoying this so much!!! I like the evolving dynamic and being completely unable to predict what challenging aspect will be thrown at Carl (and the other crawlers) next. I already know I'm going to be serving a very large plate of Upsetti Spaghetti when I complete this series because I won't want it to be over!

I am new to audiobooks this year, as I currently have a job where I can listen to one most of the day if I want, and it has been wonderful for me personally. But I've definitely noticed a narrator can def change my rating of a book, which seems kind of silly sometimes lol. For example, there is a book series spin off that I know a lot of people were not the biggest fan of but I listened to it as an audiobook and LOVED it and owe some of that to the narrator because I really felt like he brought all these characters to life and voiced the mc so well. Meanwhile, one I'm reading right now I think I would like a lot more as an actual book instead of audiobook because the narrator is just throwing me off a bit. Not that he is a bad narrator, but it's just not hitting for me, ya know? Anyways, what are your guys favorite narrators or audiobooks where you think the narrator does a fantastic job, I would love to add more to my list to check out!

unfortunately my brain works in compartments and now I entered the "movies" one and the "books" one is just closed at the moment. so I'm on reader's block but I finally unlocked the movie watcher's block ??? I missed movies tbh but now I feel horrible for all the books I bought. do you think it is fair to call this "reader's block"? does it happen to you? how do you deal with it?

Hey guys, so my uncle adopted a little boy and I want to expose him to the wonders of reading. I'm looking for good representation books of POC so he can read and identify with the characters. The problem is I cannot find many books with the main character being a POC. Can you guys help me please.

Probably the best use of multiple POV I've read. Each character was unique, and the overlapping, past & present storylines kept the story fresh and exciting the entire way through.

This weekend I was lucky enough to find these books in the thrift shop / op shop in Melbourne: Armada by Ernest Cline Empathy by Fay Lee A Man Called Ove by Fredrick Backman (Been on my TBR since I read the novella "The Answer is No".) Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell (My colleague was raving about how bad the movie was but how good the book is and said I had to read it. The Guncle by Steven Rowley (On the Pride Month Readalong!) Then I walked past my local street library (free book exchange) to drop off some books and found: This Is How You Lose The Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone (Since I joined Pagebound this book has appeared in my feed, on people I follow's "My Taste", on BookTok etc.) After jumping up and down at finding this book for free, I got pooped on by a bird 🐦💩 and then tripped on a crack on the sidewalk. So I guess I lucky streak ran out at that point. Do y'all thrift books and do you have a street library near you?

Great multi POV use in this book. Each character is unique and has a perspective that feels fleshed out and full. I am reading the audiobook version of this and the narrator, Arian Moayed, is spectacular!

When I was younger, I could easily read several books at a time and just switch back and forth whenever I wanted to. Now I tend to just focus on one book at a time. Reading one book at a time is much more manageable for me due to a hectic work and life schedule. If you read multiple at a time, how do you manage that? How do you decide when and why to switch from one book to another? Do you read books from the same genre or are your books totally different?
