I found that really frustrating too but powered through as I love The Hunger Games. I then went to listen to the second and I couldn’t handle the voice, thought about even skipping to the 3rd or 4th and the voice artist was still awful so just had to pass.

I never knew Spotify had audio books! This is a great revelation. I've spotted Trevor Noah Born a Crime which I've seen recommended a few times so might have to give that one a listen.
I finished The Mountain in My Shoe by Louise Beech yesterday and found it a bit disappointing after loving This is how we are Human. Has anyone read any others by her that they would recommend?

Theyre not free sadly, well not the ones I looked at. Audible does seem to be the cheaper option from the little I looked.
Oh blimey, I've just looked and they're pricey! Never mind...
my newest read. No pressure!
Big advocate of libraries, most of them have online apps, they are free if you have them.
YouTube has some too.
My library does not have many good audio books. I went through my whole wishlist once and they didnt have one
I was really disappointed
I'm totally the same. I read to the end of Le Grand Meaulnes even though I liked it less as I went on.
Does anyone here watch Between the Covers with Sara Cox? One episode featured Sorrow & Bliss if anyone's interested. I'm sure it was from series 3, but don't recall the number.
One of my favourite books that I only bought by chance. I hope you love it as much as me
LOVE A.M Homes. I reckon you'll really like this
Have booked tickets to see the stage production of A Little Life next spring!
!!!!! - i’m so jealous! where is it being performed? i saw yh post on her instagram about a production in germany (i think) but didn’t realise it was actually being expanded from there.
It’s in London with James Norton from happy valley playing Jude and is also starring an actor from bridgerton whose name I can’t remember and an actor from Its a Sin whose name I also can’t remember
i just saw it on twitter, and also only remember james nortonIt’s in London with James Norton from happy valley playing Jude and is also starring an actor from bridgerton whose name I can’t remember and an actor from Its a Sin whose name I also can’t remember
i wonder if it’s one very long play or two parts - it’s a lot of book to get into one evening! thank you for mentioning it, i’m looking into it too now 
unsure about james norton playing jude based purely on how much they mention him being racially ambiguous in the book (and so no one ever truly “knows” him) but i’ll allow it!
I agree about the casting of Jude ( I really fancy James Norton but he’s not how I pictured Jude!) I saw someone on insta say if they cast Jude in a movie they’d pick Rami Malek and I can see thati just saw it on twitter, and also only remember james norton

yes!!! i’ve seen a few people mention rami in fan castings and he makes perfect sense. he’s also got an air of fragility to him which i think works for jude. james norton is just way too handsome - he would have made a great willem instead (that’s who i assumed he was playing when i first saw the cast photo!)
I cant remember who was talking about 'Every Summer After' but I started it this morning and Ive read 20% already. I dont usually take a lunch break when I WFH but I did today to read a bit more.
Im really scared that Sam is going to be dead or disfigured or something
I'm a member of three different libraries because I live close to three county borders.

One of my libraries has rubbish choices for audiobooks, but they don't have fines on physical books, and one I can't get to to take out physical books, so I just use the ebooks/audiobooks.I think some guy travelled the country and joined up to every library and wrote a book about it .... or maybe I dreamt that!
Good luck joining the library in my area.

I decided to read my unread books before getting any new ones. So that's Pachinko, The Goldfinch and a non-fiction book about Palestine. The first two are long so it should take a while.
