Oh...my...goodness...WORDGIRL -- this has to be the best/longest comment I've ever received. THANK you for sharing so much =) We are so fiends and kindred spirits in the we experience and see many things.

You said, "I do appreciate a nice hardcover book, but I find audiobooks most convenient as I can multitask or rest while listening to them." Then you said printed books was last,...and I started giggling. The list is exactly the same for me, and for the same reasons. For the longest time I was against audiobooks, because like you, I'm a writer, and it took training myself to ignore the talking as a conversation. My attention would be drawn away for whatever I was doing, because it's rude not to pay attention when you're being spoken to.

Now I can listen while I draw, and every night I usually relax and fall into rest with an audiobook -- if really tired I put the timer on -- and slip into the world of my imagination. Harry Dresden is one of my favorite worlds.

I highly recommend Soundwise to control your audio paths... check out this page as an example -- but don't buy the book -- it's being rewritten: https://mysoundwise.com/soundcasts/1622654055463s

You can get a lifetime basic package to control everything and retain 95% of the profits -- and their app is fantastic.

OH MY HECK!! I was checking for a link to the lifetime version, which i got for $250.....and it's only $59 RIGHT NOW!! Here's the link for anyone who wants to try what I'm doing:

https://appsumo.com/products/soundwise-exclusive/

...and just FYI -- it comes with everything you need and if you grow huge, you can upgrade. I've made some good money with this app, and like Substack, been able to work directly with readers / listeners.

Hehehe -- I'm all about protecting the grands. Sadly, I prefer not to engage in Social Media much anymore. nasty people who disagree wanting to go after my family. That is a no-no. Leave my kids alone (I say to the evil-web).

Hope you feel better WordGirl. Always wonderful to have your perspective here =)

God Bless you back!!

Of course I was joking about crediting the grandchildren lol. Also, thanks for the link! I'll try to look into it as soon as I can.

Oh, I knew you were =)

...but I've been asked to do that before by *ahem* questionable personalities. Was just putting that out there. Help hedge up other potential comments (wink).
