    The concept of the warrenmind rabbits is so T.Kingfisher. Creepy af, kinda gross yet so intriguing.

  • Random question of the day (not a series)

    We all have authors that we will read basically anything they write, and there has to be a least favorite in any group of books.

    What is your least favorite book by a favorite author?

    Did you still love the book, like it, or do you question how they wrote such a bad book?

    Why do you think this book is different from the rest?

    Ps- feel free to include one you think represents what the author does well for a starting point for other readers

    This book uses first person, second person, and third person perspectives. It's very confusing! Especially because it might switch mid-page! Here is a mini guide :)

    -2nd person: the main character? (I guess?) this person (you) is watching a play -3rd person: follows the story of the two main characters in the "play" -1st person: the internal thoughts of people in the scene at that very moment

    I hope this makes all of your reading experiences easier! šŸ’•

  • Audiobooks

    Ive never really been a fan of audiobooks? I can’t seem to focus on them. But i’ve been trying to give them another shot lately. So far I managed to like 2 (one nonfiction, one poetry), and dropped 2 others. And i think both of the ones I liked had the authors themselves narrating - which i really liked.

    I kinda wish audiodramas were more of a thing tbh (like the chinese do). I’ve listened to some snippets of some and really liked the effort put in, but ultimately found that my having to read subtitles defeated the purpose that I would hope to use audiobooks for.

    What are some of your favorite audiobooks? Audiobook narrators?

    Are there any audiobooks that have multiple narrators or at least narrators who do a good job of differentiating different characters’ voices?
