Aim for Efficiency

Posted in: 2021 posts | blog images | Library | Reading

Last day... and I'm done! Doing shiritori-like game with the blog post titles was fun but not going to do it again any time soon lol.. Did so many ridiculous and quite clickbaity titles this month 


Just finished listening to an audiobook I borrowed from the national library. It's a mystery book based on Sherlock Holmes. A collection of three stories written by Pennie Mae Cartawick. This is the first audiobook I've listened to completion and I find the experience... very interesting. I listened to it while playing a puzzle game on the computer. In general, I could follow the story properly but I'm bad at remembering names so I don't know if I can listen to a book with longer story and more characters lol. But I'm bad with the names too on printed books so.. that's my own problem really.


Anyway. This one. The last story, "The Mystery of the Faceless Bride" gave me chills. It's not horror of course but... that.. that could (or already) happen in our time now. That was so horrible and scary to think about. *shivers*


So... back to audiobooks. I've been seeing book youtubers mentioning they read books by both physical reading and switching to audiobooks at times. I think that's brilliant! There are times where you don't want to read [physically], so listening to an audiobook is a nice alternative. Is that cheating? Nah.. I don't care. Anything that makes one read a book is counted as reading in my book (huehuehue). There's also a thing where you read the physical book while listening to the audiobook (so double the reading... and focus?)... which I think will be interesting if this is done in a language I'm learning.
