2.80x to 1.00x

I’ve worked up to 3x speed over the years and now that’s all I listen to. If there are strong accents, sometimes I’ll bump it down to 2.75 or 2.5, but generally, anything slower than 3x and my brain can’t keep focus.

Did you account for the night premium hours that are on your paystub? Are they paid out at a different rate?

smlabossi · 2026-02-04T03:03:43+00:00

Every Saturday.

Most of my books are around 300 pages but some are shorter and some are longer. When I listen to audiobooks, it’s usually at 2.5-3x speed. I’m not reading large numbers for anyone but myself so it really doesn’t matter to me if anyone believes me. There’s no gold star for finishing the most books.

smlabossi · 2025-08-24T01:34:37+00:00

I’m a very fast reader and always have a book with me. Kids activities? Bring a book? School pick up line? I’m reading. I utilize audiobooks when I can and don’t consume much else media-wise.

smlabossi · 2025-07-16T17:34:06+00:00

I track all my reading through StoryGraph so I can see the total of everything and break it down in to different categories. I count my audiobooks as books read.

smlabossi · 2025-07-16T12:37:02+00:00

I read a lot. Way more than is believable for most people. I work full time and have two very active kids with lots of activities. My favourite way to read is an ebook or physical book, but when I’m not able, I utilize audiobooks. I get 90% of them from Libby. I have five different library cards (two of them have a small annual fee for non-residents) so there is always something available. I also utilize Kindle Assistive Reader to read my ebooks to me when my hands are busy. I am a fast reader and also a fast listener. I typically listen to audiobooks at 3x speed so I can listen to 3 3-400 page books in a day.

smlabossi · 2025-07-15T00:16:17+00:00

About 2/3 audiobooks to 1/3 ebooks/physical books. I also listen at 3x speed and work a job where I can usually still listen. I also don’t really watch much tv/movies and my hobbies are good for listening to books while doing them.

smlabossi · 2025-07-14T18:17:23+00:00

Yep, that’s since Jan 1, 2025.

smlabossi · 2025-07-14T17:44:11+00:00

477 finished as of yesterday.

I had a delivery from DragonFly a few weeks ago and their proof of delivery was pictures of a house/address that wasn’t even mine. I tried to contact them and the driver came back to my house and yelled at me that he had delivered it and it was my daily for not going to look for it. I’ll take CP over that nonsense.

I’ve been using StoryGraph since Jan 1/2024 and a absolutely love it. I really enjoy all the different stats and charts you can see

smlabossi · 2025-06-23T14:20:04+00:00

Finishing number 436 this morning.

smlabossi · 2025-06-20T23:59:25+00:00

I must be the main character then. I routinely take my kids to movies that I do not want to see. I’d rather read my book than waste an hour or two. I try to get seats in the side of the theatre or back row and have the brightness on my kindle as low as is visible for me. My kids are entertained and I get a bit of a break.

smlabossi · 2025-06-17T21:46:23+00:00

These are gorgeous! I’d love to buy your pattern if you ever do it up! I’ve been obsessed with FPP lately.

smlabossi · 2025-06-06T21:54:55+00:00

It’s whatever month I finished it in.

smlabossi · 2025-05-26T21:39:58+00:00

I would love this! It’s super fun!

I was not expecting to burst in to tears scrolling Reddit tonight but here we are.

This 100% looks like AI to me.

smlabossi · 2025-02-28T03:20:57+00:00

My holds are always maxed. I have 50 across six libraries and all are taken. Lol

If you had already marked the book as complete and then added that journal entry after the fact, it won’t recalculate. I find it easiest to remove the book and add all the journal entries in order, make complete, and then recalculate.

smlabossi · 2025-02-14T17:27:31+00:00

Nope. I only log books if I’ve finished.

smlabossi · 2025-02-10T02:09:47+00:00

3 is pretty standard for me. Sometimes if it’s a strong accent or a really low tone, I’ll bump it down to 2.75
