I‘m ramping up my listening speed @squirrelbrain @Megabooks @Hooked_on_books 😆#SlowAndSteady 🎧I‘m enjoying this audiobook but not as much as Poet X & The Fire on High

Megabooks It just takes time. Some narrators are easier to speed up than others. I listened to most of The Poet X at 1.7 4y
JennyM That‘s my max speed. Anything above 1.5 and I just can‘t take it in. Mega speedsters are impressive!!! (edited) 4y
squirrelbrain Yes, I‘m mostly at 1.5 too @JennyM @Megabooks Cindy - I have done some at 1.75 but usually only male narrators - women get too chipmunky for me at that speed! 4y

Cinfhen Hahaha 😂 “too chipmunky” that‘s coming from a squirrel 🐿 xxx @squirrelbrain 4y
Hooked_on_books It took me a couple years to get up to 2x. My husband either makes chipmunk comments when he hears my book or asks me what language it is. 😂 4y
Cinfhen I agree, @squirrelbrain @Megabooks @Hooked_on_books @JennyM It really depends on who‘s doing the reading for certain speeds to work. (edited) 4y
Daisey @squirrelbrain “too chipmunky” is exactly right 😂 and I agree that 1.5 is usually just right for me. I also often work the speed up gradually through a book. @Cinfhen the narrator absolutely makes a difference! 4y
squirrelbrain My husband is the same @Hooked_on_books - he thinks I‘m mad! I‘m trying to persuade him to listen to a book when we drive the campervan somewhere long-distance and I think I might have to cheat with the speed, just keep on pushing it up gradually hoping he won‘t notice! @Daisey 4y
Cinfhen It‘s funny @Daisey because a month ago I couldn‘t listen on 1.3 and now 1.2 feels SO SLOWWWWWWW 4y

Fantasyfan Such a great book! 7y
Owlizabeth @Fantasyfan it‘s technically a reread for me, but I‘d forgotten about 85% of the story, so it‘s been nice rediscovering it. It really is great, can‘t wait for my library hold on the third to come in! 7y
Fantasyfan Yes! I have it waiting for me on Audible. I will be getting to it sooooooon! 7y

sammisho I have tried several times, in print and in audio, to get into this book and I can't. Makes me sad because I want to read it and love it like everyone else! 7y
Owlizabeth @sammisho that‘s too bad! I will say, these are pretty slow and dense, even for epic fantasy. I‘m reading other books at the same time to break it up. But not all books are for everyone... 7y
sammisho @Owlizabeth I am starting to think that epic fantasy is not for me. Fantasy is my favorite genre but GoT is about as epic as I can get. YA fantasy is where it is at for me 7y
Owlizabeth @sammisho heck yeah! YA fantasy is the bee‘s knees! 7y
SilversReviews Wow. Huge book. 7y
