A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking

So MC can affect bread with her magic. And other people have other kinds of magic.
Now this made me think about what my magic would be like in this world... I would like my magic to be either ○ related to plants, for example bringing dead plants back to life OR ○ related to book or the writing of them, like being able to change words that are misspelled on paper or something affecting the paper of books
What would your kind of magic be? I'd love to hear all you creative ideas 😊
(I hope this hasn't been posted already, if it is, sorry I didn't see it and second, I dont think this counts as a spoiler? But I am not sure so correct me if I am wrong here, because I'll change it to a post with spoiler)
Does anyone struggle to reeeeally take the story in? I love audiobooks and, as someone who needs constant background noise, I like to listen to them around the house or on walks.
The only issues are; I love to highlight my favourite quotes which I can’t do and I generally find that I rate audiobooks higher as a good narrator can make the story so much better! I always wonder if I’d like a book as much if I actually read it?
What are your pros and cons re audiobooks?

For me audiobooks are like a podcast, so while working or doing other things its perfect and enjoyable. It makes it easier for me to get through long books or books that I expect to not like. Downsides for me are, sometimes I don't really register what is being said, so I have to go back and listen to the book or part of it a second time. And I also struggle with recall... My solution has been to write down my thoughts or the time (like a timestamp) so that I can revisit the moment, write more in detail or perhaps make a post here.
