Same Page librairies only lend their audio books for 2 weeks, which is a bit tight for some longer ones.
I squeaked through "The Vanishing Half" by Brit Bennett with about 2 minutes to spare before it was to expire, by listening at 1.25x speed.
I did enjoy it. Interesting storyline, I understand it's a favourite of Barack Obama.

Finished this yesterday...a helpful presentation of Jefferson's religious beliefs and views and how he came to them. I think the basic point Kidd makes is that for Jefferson faith was a private choice. @bookstodon

I as The Witness by Nora Roberts. Despite the hundreds of she’s written, I’m a 48yo Roberts virgin; she’s always been the of my mother & MIL’s generation. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I love good plots that don’t rely on dramatic breakups & makeups. While very white & not written specifically with this diagnosis of the FMC, she very much seemed to me as high-functioning autistic. @romancebooks @romancelandia

This is very much one of my favorite Nora Roberts' books, and worthy of being her 200th published noel.

Dion Graham’s narration of The Wager is awesome. Just riveting.

Who Fears Death by Nedi Okorafor is today's Audible Daily Deal.

This was my first introduction to Okorafor's African Futurism and is a very good starting point.

I've enjoyed many of her other Novels, but have trouble with her YA, I didn't connect with Binti or Akata Witch.

@zkrisher @bookstodon I'll give it a shot! I also didn't really connect with the Binti books.

Remote Control is another one of my favorite Okorafor works. It's a novella, and has more love and klindness between the people than in some of her other works, such as Noor.

I via When She’s Ready by Ruby Dixon. The audiobook is both When She’s Ready and When She’s Lonely. Both are very pro-consent post-slavery human-alien . I find these Risdaverse entertaining & mostly safe, more so than her other series. (I ❤️Ruby even when it’s scary.) @romancebooks

I want to add something to this post about the 2nd in this compilation: When She’s Lonely by Ruby Dixon. The FMC in this story has significant hearing loss that impacts her daily quality of life. If you look for stories of MCs with disabilities, and like or at least accept human-alien & sex, I recommend this. I recommend it anyway, but especially if this is in your areas of interest. @romancebooks @romancelandia

weirdwriter,

@ElleSabine @romancebooks @romancelandia Thank you for this addition! It’s made me want to give it a shot!

Almost halfway to the goal!! Can y'all help me reach $100?

Through November, every sale of CHAMELEON MOON's audiobook + ebook bundle on Itch.io will benefit Doctors Without Borders' efforts in Palestine.

We're all angry and helpless feeling right now, I definitely am, but this is one thing I CAN do, so. Please do it with me. (also the audiobook is good, OK. Not the most important thing, but it is!)

I as Band Sinister by KJ Charles (2018). This 🏳️‍🌈 M/M historical is mis-titled, but otherwise is charming. It was in the Audible Premium Plus catalog, so I didn’t pay anything extra for it. @romancebooks

I Lauren’s Barbarian by Ruby Dixon ( 1/Icehome - an Ice Planet Barbarians spin-off) as an . I meant to buy Willa’s Beast so I was surprised when I started listening, but it’s Ruby Dixon, so I couldn’t go wrong! In this installment, Lauren gets separated from the group, ends up in a deserted island, and resonates to a blue 4-armed alien who she can’t speak to. @romancebooks
