I’ve been trying to decide what to do with it while working through free exclusives in the Plus library.
My fear with this month’s book is that I’ll enjoy it, then not have easy listening access to the rest of the Discworld series, lol.

I realized I'm still @jerutix on the Book Club List, but I've permanently jettisoned my 2000ish Starcraft name for something that looks a little more like my actual name! Would you switch it to @jona37an for the next one post? Thanks!

Comment on Supergirl | Official teaser in ~movies
Jona37an Link ParentSuperman is basically the opposite of that. My guess is Supergirl will be working through a lot of her trauma in this one and come out more heroic, but still “edgier” than Supes.Superman is basically the opposite of that.

Regardless, the price of one of those streaming services is going to jump up more than they’ve all already incresed.

Pokemon Violet was the first mainline game I purchased, and I really enjoyed it (no random encounters - you can see the Pokemon).
That said, I like ZA waaaay better. Active battles instead off turn based is great! A lot of people have mentioned that it's more like the anime, which I totally agree with. I watched a lot of that as a 10-12 year old when it was first on, and this feels like what I expected Pokemon to feel like.

That whole truth is stranger than fiction really landed in a lot of this.
Whatever this genre is was new to me. I’m not into true crime or historical fiction or biography/history, which all felt semi-present, but this was fascinating. I learned a ton and hit Wikipedia a few times for pictures and extra bits of biographical info.
As always (new for y’all), I would time travel forward, not backward. The past always sounds terrible. People just put whatever into everything - it’s amazing more people didn’t die!

Jona37an Link ParentI can see what you’re saying, but it felt like she was just being precise to me. Hard for me to really judge, though, because I listen to everything at 2x and all voices sound weird.I can see what you’re saying, but it felt like she was just being precise to me.

In an embarrassing twist, I spelled something wrong in Libby (probably Pratchett), and lo and behold, 62 Discworld audiobooks.
