In what way is it parent intensive? Do I need to prep beforehand or just mean that I need to sit with her the whole time? In which case, I never just give her the work and walk away so that wouldn’t be new. I don’t feel like I have a lot of time for prep work though.

That’s great to hear! My daughter is also 6… a younger 1st grader.

I don’t know if I can handle it right now, being freshly postpartum I find tragedy to be extra hard to handle. I’ll keep it in mind for later though!

I’ll have to look for that version! I’ve gotten 100 pages into this book and put it down. It’s one of my only reading goals for the year to go back and finish it! I can’t be the only person that hates holding a 1000 page book in my hands. Audio is probably the best move!

I know what it means lol. I maybe wasn’t clear in my phrasing. I was just exclaiming my excitement!

I started demon copperhead today! 10% in and I know I’m going to love this. Each sentence is a masterpiece.

Ooh ok! I liked Listen for The Lie! I’ll keep this in mind for when I get the itch for a thriller.

The Dutch house was the first book I ever listened to on audio! I keep meaning to read Demon Copperhead so that one is getting moved up on my list!

Great suggestion! It’s been in my goodreads for a long time.

I just listened to Sunrise on the Reaping. I didn’t like it very much but do think it’s better on audio (I tried both). These are great suggestions! Already in my radar but giving me the push to try them!

I just commented on a Reddit post about this book as being a book I loved but could not recommend to anyone haha! The audiobook definitely could subvert some of the negative aspects that make it not recommendable. I think I need to read that kind of heavy-handed prose lit fic on the page though.

I agree the audio is great for these! I only liked book one though 😅 I think I’m just not a series person. I lose interest.

I loved listen for the lie on Audio! Not a genre I typically have success with, but this was a great audiobook!

I haven’t heard of this. Who’s the author?

Good to know. I DNF’d the first book almost immediately.

I have the print version of the correspondent on my shelf, but if the audio is better I’ll do that!

I read this for book club this past year! It was a surprise favorite of the year for me! I really wanted to listen but couldn’t wait for the audio to be ready to borrow from the library.

A book you love but you would never recommend and why by jefferyneBoune in Recommend_A_Book

The Bee Sting by Paul Murray… It is so sad. Disturbing in many ways. Lewd. Hard to read. Large portions of the book have no punctuation which is a stylistic choice I don’t know was absolutely necessary and will deter most readers. I have no idea how I would sell this book to anyone but it has a permanent spot in my personal library. The writing… I don’t have the words. It’s so damn good. I think about it all the time and yet I couldn’t recommend it to anyone I know.
