@kimlockhartga @bookstodon Thanks for the recommendation! I just started another very long one that someone recommended, China Mieville's The Rouse. I've never read him before so didn't know what to expect. Besides length it and Tom's Crossing have absolutely nothing in common in terms of storytelling or writing style. It didn't grab me right away but now I'm pretty into it.
@Star12Mt @bookstodon I am dying to read Miéville's new book! So glad you got a copy so quickly.
@kimlockhartga @bookstodon Funny story. It's not on the Libby app yet. My husband still has an audible account. So I asked if I could take one of his credits and his account for the book. I start listening to it and I could barely follow it. I thought the narrator was terrible because they were talking too fast. About five minutes later I remembered it has a speed. He keeps his on double speed😂 Once I took it down to normal speed I've really gotten into it.
@Star12Mt @bookstodon oh my goodness! I have definitely done 1.5 x speed, but never double speed! Wow.
@kimlockhartga @bookstodon Maybe he left it there by accident, but having forgotten about the speed, I thought I no longer had the ability to follow along😂
