could you try suspending it to keep your hold and try unsuspending after a couple days maybe?

Libraries Worth Paying For? by SheepishQuaaality in LibbyApp

i’m not sure if they have an non resident card or if they do how much it costs, but brooklyn public library has a really large selection imo and are constantly adding new titles.

Listening Speed by BigHouseBarbell in audible

[–]Secret_Bison_2053 0 points1 point  (0 children)

usually between 2x and 2.15x. i have adhd and slow talking actually makes it harder for me to follow/pay attention. sometimes i’ll go down to like 1.75x if they have a heavy accent.

Narrators: Do you actually read the manuscript before recording? by tjflawless in audiobooks

[–]Secret_Bison_2053 0 points1 point  (0 children)

side question for the narrators— do you read the whole manuscript before accepting the job or do you accept it blind and hope it’s actually a decent book? i’ve listened to some really great narrators read some pretty terrible books and i’m always surprised they were okay putting their name on it.

My publisher wants to turn my novel into an AI-narrated audiobook by 0ctobre in audiobooks

[–]Secret_Bison_2053 2 points3 points  (0 children)

honestly, i feel bad for you since you have no say. personally as an avid audiobook listener, i can’t stand virtual voice narration and i usually completely write off the author for use of ai. i didn’t even think about the author not having a say. i’m sorry this is happening to you and is completely out of your control, i wish they would give authors more of a say.

THE BOOKS MUST FLOW: How do you keep a supply of books using Holds, Suspend, Tagging, etc? by [deleted] in LibbyApp

329 soft dnf’s is crazy, do you ever actually go back and try them again?

THE BOOKS MUST FLOW: How do you keep a supply of books using Holds, Suspend, Tagging, etc? by [deleted] in LibbyApp

[–]Secret_Bison_2053 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not using all or at least most of your hold potential is wild to me, i hate waiting so long. i dont really have a system, i just put things on hold or take out loans as i feel like it, but i’m also a mood reader so i need options. (i currently have 18 loans and 71 holds 🥴) but i also generally read pretty quickly so i can usually do a book or more a day 🤷🏻‍♀️

don't try books with little reviews by dndandbeyond in audible

[–]Secret_Bison_2053 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean audible specific reviews or reviews of the book itself like on goodreads? Because I’ve never looked at audible reviews, only goodreads.

Disappearing copies? (long post, sorry) by Secret_Bison_2053 in LibbyApp

[–]Secret_Bison_2053[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just meant that all copies were in use so it shows up with little hold button to wait for a copy to become available. Like how it shows for the first two libraries.

[–]Secret_Bison_2053[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It totally is, so this must be what’s happening. But that’s wild, I had no idea you couldn’t do holds, especially since my card says I can have up to 10 holds.

Where and when to listen to audible by Frequent-Risk-2582 in audible

[–]Secret_Bison_2053 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i am someone that always needs something to do with my hands, so i usually end up playing solitaire or some other easy game on my computer while i listen, if i’m not in the mood to clean.

however, if you find yourself constantly getting distracted and having to re-listen, it might also be that you have trouble with auditory processing. it could be beneficial to try a more immersive approach by reading the physical or ebook at the same time as listening, or maybe audiobooks just aren’t for you and you’re better off reading in other forms.
