I'm laughing at myself. Apparently, you can't make me happy when it comes to eBook versus audiobook.
For example, during the readathon, one of the prompts was to read a book with more than 100,000 reviews. I wanted to pick something I already owned, and after checking book after book, I ended up with Inferno by Dan Brown. I already had the audio version.
The nice thing about audiobooks is I can listen to them while I do other things, like cook or do the dishes, or work out.
But the book is so suspenseful that it's giving me stress. Maybe it would be easier to read it? Then I could skim ahead and know that Robert Langdon and his co-lead will be safe. But it's long book. More than 17 hours in audio.
Which leads me to another prompt: Pick a book from the hosts' TBRs to read. It's two points if you read one book, four points for the second, and six points if you read a book from all three of the hosts' TBRs. One of the hosts had a book that my book club planned to read, so one down.
Host two had a couple of nonfiction books in with her fiction choices. I did try one of her fiction reads first, but it was too dark for me, and because it was romantasy, it doesn't wrap up on one book. I skipped ahead, read the last chapter, and was like nope, definitely too dark for me. One of her nonfiction choices was available at my library in audio and it was only about 6 hours long. I did that one.
Host Three killed me. My reading taste doesn't match hers at all. I had no interest in any of the five books she listed. I picked the one I hated least and checked it out of my library. It's long. Like really long. And I want to listen to it in audio, not read it. But since I was already not interested in the book, there was zero chance I was spending $30 for the audiobook and my library only had the eBook.
Basically, you can't make me happy unless I have both the eBook and the audiobook. Apparently, I like choices. Or something.
