Nobody here =(

Well, if anyone does come here, consider giving a listen to The Parable of the Sower. It's hands down one of my favorite audiobooks. It's written by Octavia Butler and narrorated by Lynne Thigpen. I don't always dig audiobooks, because too many Feel empty or like white noise to me. Or there is this nagging feeling that I would not want to listen to the narrorator reading anything, let alone x-book. But this one was wonderful, and I think it's in part because the source material is good and the narrorator was very talented and has a very unique voice. I grabbed it here, but originally listened ot it on Libby. If you're interested I'd say both books (The Parable of the Talents) are wonderful to read/listen to - absorb through osmosis. All of the above. So give them a go if you'd like.

No worries, I hope you like it - but if you don't, don't sweat it. I will straight up put down a book that I am not feeling even if it's recommended by someone I love to death. Because I know all of us are rocking some gnarly backlogs. So you know, read on - whatever you like =)!
