I’ve tried liking audiobooks but it’s very hard for me to retain anything just from listening to the audiobook. I tried immersive reading (listening to an audiobook and following along with the book) but i find myself reading faster than the narrator 🥲 do you guys have any tips to make it any easier?

Ok so I understand we cound the audiobooks as part of the reading challenges. What about reading once and then listening to the book- do we count it as a second “read”? I wonder if i should make a Shelf for audiobooks as it dont perceieve both mediums as the same: When i LISTEN to the audiobook, i can do 101 other things and just engage one of my senses. While Reading a physical book or ebook, engages eyes and touch, and you really cant do much when both hands and eyes are occupied

Thus i cannot comprehend how both are concidered reading- and please dont satart witchunting me saying But the Braille is reading with your hands- thats different.

Also, if we create a shelf lets say Audiobooks- upon finishing, would they count towards the yearly challenge?

I just finished "a wizards guide to defensive baking" and now Im conflicted between reading:

1.dark rise

2.serpent & dove (privously dnf'ed because i went into a reading slump)

3.kingdom of the wicked ( privously dnf'ed because my school confiscated it than my dad had to get it back from them😂)

4.hidden pictures

What do yall think? Which one should i read? Or should i continue reading "the memory police"(paused)? Or maybe someone has a good recommendation?.

Edit: i might read dark rise and hidden pictures!!
