Going to My First Book Signing
This post’s title might be a little misleading considering I have only been to one book signing. Maybe I have been unlucky since I usually find out about a visiting author after they have already come and gone. I have often wondered how people are notified of author readings and signings. I know that authors often post about it on their websites, but does that mean readers are only notified if they often visit his or her sites? I guess social media is another way. They must post about it, but I only have limited time for personal scrolling through social media, so I often miss them until it’s too…

Are You Thinking About Trying an Audiobook?
Recently on the FFF discord, we talked about the difference between reading a book by physically reading it and listening to it through an audiobook. It made me think about how I discovered audiobooks. In fact, when I first thought about giving audiobooks a try, I was very skeptical about how well I would like them. Reading has always been a very immersive entertainment. I did love when my mom read to me as a kid, but would an audiobook really be as good of an experience as reading it for myself or being read to by a loved one? It took me a little ways into my first audiobook…
