What's your favorite format for books? in c/books@lemmy.ml
[โ€“] Randeth@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Kobna Holbrook-Smith was the narrator that taught me an audio book performance can truly enhance the books. Even though I still buy the ebooks of Ben Aaronovich's Rivers of London books, I listen to the audio books first.

For many years it's been ebook mainly because of limited space and aging eyes.

But strangely I just picked up a trade paperback at Barnes & Noble that I'm liking reading very much, not just for the story but for the tactile nature of it. I've read my whole life and never thought I'd ever trim my library. But having kids and getting older abused me of that notion. ๐Ÿ™‚

I'm still going to use my Kindle for most books, but it's been nice to have a physical book again.

Was having the hardest time picking my next read (lemmy.ml)
 

I just finished the Scythe trilogy and really enjoyed it. But even before that I'd been having the hardest time finding my next read. I've pretty much moved to ebooks exclusively for storage reasons, but we found ourselves at Barnes & Noble with some visiting family and picked up a book they had on their Buy 1 Get 1 Half Off sale.

Meddling Kids by Cantero

I'd heard good things about it when it first dropped so picked it up. Only about halfway through so far but really liking it. Especially Cantero's writing style. I find myself rereading some sentences a few times just because I love the way some of them sound.
