Started Whispers Underground by Ben Aaronovitch. Book 3 of Rivers of London series.

Just started it, not much to say about it yet.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

I so want to read A Stitch in Time. I borrowed the audiobook to listen to on vacation, but I didn’t have time to actually do that (we had way too much fun). Now it has a really long waitlist again 😭

    I bought the ebook for $8.99, DRM-free even :)

    https://www.ebooks.com/en-us/book/136175/a-stitch-in-time/andrew-j-robinson/

    The only hard copies I could find were used paperbacks for $150. I would love a hard copy, but not that badly lol.

    I also got the audiobook (because Andrew Robinson reads it) but haven't listened to it yet. It's easier for me to follow a story when I read it, so I usually don't do audiobooks unless it's an autobiography (e.g. Stephen Fry) or I've already read the book and just want to hear the story (and can space out without missing crucial plot points).

    Ooo!

    I’m the same, I prefer physical copies over digital, but I know how expensive that one is because it’s out of print. I typically only do audiobooks as rereads because I don’t retain the info as much because I space out often. It was just the quickest way I could get it and I (mistakenly) thought I would have time on vacation.

    I’m probably going to go pick up that book now. Thank you for the tip!

    Also, I just noticed your username and I love it!
