whats your preference? i was just having a convo with a coworker about hardcovers vs paperback and our opinions differed quite a bit! personally, i’m a paperback girl.

It feels so right that Brittany Spears ™ is the first in line for this emoji - but ngl whoever was responsible for getting Oscar Wilde on there has my respect. Keep the emoji game strong, Pagebound 💪

How do you do it? My library often has the books I want as audiobooks with no wait, so I am trying to become someone who listens to them. Emphasis on the trying. Every time I try to listen I get so distracted by other stuff and miss whole chapters and important details. I think being able to listen to my books would suit my daily life and schedule a lot better, but I just can't seem to make it work!

Does anyone else feel that way?

What do you do when you're listening to audiobooks? How do you stay focused?

Edit: thank you, everyone, for the thoughtful comments. I will definitely give it another try with some books I've already read!

Both this book and the book I previously finished had storylines where you know certain characters are going to die. In A Dowry of Blood, you know Dracula is going to die and you can't wait for it to happen because he's such a detestable character. In this one you know it's going to happen because of the cruelty of the games and you're absolutely dreading it because you know it's going to destroy you after falling in love with these people and witnessing their stories.

Now compare that device to books where a character dies very suddenly out of nowhere..also devastating, but in such a different way. As a reader, which do you prefer?

I like this little detail about snoring. It's so easy to assume that all the times people are sleeping they're basically incognito as long as they're well hidden, but this is a good reminder that's not true and they're really never safe

Damn. I am preparing for this book to destroy me emotionally.

I figured this would be a good book to listening to while crocheting but I’m not sure it’s for me 😩

the vibes are intense and amazing, but i'm still kind of lost, lol
