I can't mix and match within the same book or even within a series, so I do old school books for the vast majority of my reading. But sometimes for a long road trip an audiobook can be really nice if you can find a one-off that fits in your driving time
"The Eludium Q36 explosive space modulator...."
Well apparently Jay-Z has been picking halftime shows since hired in 2019. That has been why have had his artists.
Not sure what you mean by 'his' - assuming you mean def jam artists, None of the performers since Rhianna have been signed to Def Jam... The Weeknd's label is XO Records and Snoop/Dre/50/Em/MJB/Kendrick are all signed to Interscope/Aftermath.
Love the Bobiverse. I have book 5 in my library, will get to it after I finished DCC#7 in a few weeks.

I don't either, mainly because I can't multitask. If I listen to them while I'm driving, I find myself having to rewind a lot. If I listen to them at home, I can't get anything else done at the same time. So I might as well just read my kindle.
Read the first one a few weeks back. Took me a while to get into it but by the end I was asking myself why I cared so much about Carl and Donut. Have the 2nd book queued up and ready for when I finish Not Till We Are Lost (book 5 of the Bobiverse series)
It'a an homage to his pen name.
In the good old days, we wouldn't find out our OC left until the Roanoke Times/Collegiate Times article came out in the newspaper....
For some reason, I just can't get into audiobooks. I think it's because I have my own voices in my head for each character and the one's on audiobooks - even if its the author themselves reading or choosing the voices- just don't mesh with what I hear in my head and it just distracts me. Yeah- just another way I'm "different" lol.(feel free to substitute 'unique', 'eccentric', or 'weird' for 'different'!)
Agreed- and the only "impression" I do very well!
"Where's the kaboom? There was supposed to be an EARTH SHATTERING kaboom?" and "I'm not angry...just terribly, terribly HURT!"

Maybe try a guy with a last name starting with M?

After moving back to the DC area and having to cope with commuting 45-60 minutes each way, I started devouring audio books. When I add the time walking the dog, washing dishes, folding clothes, etc, I go through 1 to 2 books per week.
All that to say, I've gravitated and ended up settling in fantasy and more specifically, the LitRPG sub-genre. I don't have to pay 100% of my attention to it and if I happen to zone out, I can piece together whatever I missed. The books are fun to listen to and usually have many sequels to them.
I listened to the Making of the Atomic Bomb by Richard Rhodes and had to go back and re-listen a bunch of portions because it was very very dense.
in the good old days, we didn't pursue the OC that we needed..in any year
I guess I'm just in the 100 million then. I don't listen to hip hop so I was completely out of the loop. I didn't hate it. I just didn't get it. I was not really entertained by it. I was so distracted by trying to figure out what his jacket said for most of the show that I didn't really catch anything else. About 3/4s of the way thru I finally figured out it said "GLORIA" which.....I still don't get.
I use audible while driving and working on the farm. I have been loving the Longmire series of books.
Holy crap.... I wish I had done that on purpose.
I agree. It's the perfect typo.
Well apparently Jay-Z has been picking halftime shows since hired in 2019. That has been why have had his artists.
In the good old days we didn't need both a DC and an OC in the same year.
Jade trilogy by Fonda Lee is really good.
