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.

Nah, I feel you. I think you know - it's good to get both sides of the coin and go in and like be willing to drop a book. I mean in general though, cause like - trust me there's been books I have been super excited to read and then when I am going over a line five times in my head and I am just going through the motions I realize "she is not the one" and I let that book go. But I am also guilty of re-reading because I have fun, it's simple, and always see something I didn't see first go round. i think I have read Two Serious Ladies 650x. I mean, I am overexagerating, but I also think it was the first time that I came face to face with what I consider the perfect typeface. Cause the edition I have has "Minion" as its font and hot damn do I love that font-face.

But yeah, no you legitimately are saying something super valid and I thank you for it =)
