Audiobooks Are My Friends | Reading Update 12.16.23

Hey hi hello friends, and welcome back to my blog! 

It's been a while since I've done a reading update (like, a couple of months. Sorry about that) so I figured I would just do a quick one, because it seems unlikely that I will get any "regular" blog posts out this month before the yearly superlatives and whatnot. 

It feels like I haven't read very much this month, and that is partially true. I've only completed one book...physically. But I've been listening to audiobooks a lot this month, nearly every day. This is mainly because I got my hands on a pair of wireless earbuds, which I've been enjoying immensely. They have more noise-cancelling properties than my over-ear headphones so I've been using them religiously.

So, due to my new earbuds, I've listened to three books on audio. Granted, they were all rather short, and I finished them all within a day, but still. I've also been listening to The Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater on audio (thank you Maggie for having all of the audiobooks on your Spotify for free) but I'm not counting them towards my Goodreads goal, because I want to reread them physically next year. I know it doesn't really make sense, but just go with it. 

Physically, I'm currently in the middle of The Dark Forest by Cixin Liu. But honestly, I'm a little bored by it? I've been setting it aside for other things, but I need to stop doing that because it's a library copy and I also have the third book of the series borrowed from the library as well, so I need to get on it and finish this series before the end of the year. 

Oh, also I DNF'd Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell. And I unhauled it. I'm sorry!

Okay, I think that's all I have update wise. Wish me luck on finishing the Cixin Liu series, because I'm thinking that I need it. 

Until next time, friends!
