Okay so I finally read the Lunar Chronicles for the first time this year (I know, I’m so late to the party 😅), and I did the audiobooks. My word, it’s one of the best audiobook series I’ve read in a long time. The narrator is just so fantastic and managed to capture each of the characters so well

I'm pretty new to audiobooks (started listening to them about 4 months ago at work) and on a whim I listened to the Lunar Chronicles series, even though I read the books back when they were coming out. I have listened to quite a few books since then but that is still my favorite series to listen to, Rebecca Soler did such a great job! I'm glad other people feel the same way as me!

Love the chaotic beginning as always 🤣 I've never tried audiobooks... but you're on your way to convincing me to try! Just wanted to say also that your writing journey is so inspiring for my own goals - I've been watching you for over 10 years (can't believe it myself!) but I've never commented - just not something I've ever done, but today I just randomly thought... why not? 🤣 You've been instrumental in keeping me on my booklover game (thanks for the reminder about Defend the Dawn release!) throughout my life, in school and university and through heartbreak and trying to adult and hating my jobs and losing and gaining friends. The fact that you're a swiftie also helps in my appreciation of you and your content! ❤ I just wanted to say thanks for being you and providing this entertainment for all these years - can't wait for what's to come next for you!

The Sandman Act I, II and III !!! i'm not much of an audiobook person (i don't have the attention span and I find it difficult to follow a story via audio unfortunately) but I was so intrigued by the story and the fact James Mcavoy voiced the lead character, Morpehus, that I finally decided to try it. It was easily one of best unique experience I've ever had. It is very immersive that the audio feels like I was watching a movie by picturing the scenes in my mind

I originally checked out a physical copy of Project Hail Mary from my library and in two weeks, I got to chapter 8. I was really interested in the story, but the physical reading of all that math made it hard for me to get through it.

I had no idea how incredible this book was going to be and how many tears I would cry, but I'm so thankful I read it!

It's my comfort listen the same way rwarb is for you. And I know you've talked about it before, but Six of Crows is also so freaking fantastic.
