Hmmmm, anyone have any ideas about unusual formats? I read all the regular ones plenty, so trying to think outside the box here, lol.
Sammy wrote: "Hmmmm, anyone have any ideas about unusual formats? I read all the regular ones plenty, so trying to think outside the box here, lol."Have someone read a book to you, not a paid narrator. While you are riding a horse.
Read a pop up book.
Unless you purged all the old equipment recently, dig up your old cassette player and that box of cassettes which will contain at least one book on tape, and listen to that bad recording.
Go to a local college or uni and see if there is an evening of poetry reading happening soon.
Watch a movie that stays really close to the original book.
In other words, I've got nothing.

Mixed-media / multimedia books – books that blend photos, drawings, documents, or typographical play. Example: S. by J.J. Abrams/Doug Dorst
Choose-your-own-adventure / interactive fiction – old-school CYOA books?
Epigraphic or play/script format – some scenes in script-like form, but you could also try a full-on play in book form.
Serial / episodic apps – like reading something on Wattpad, Serial Box (now Realm), or other serialized storytelling platforms.
Well, some of Jenny's suggestions would be new to me at least, but not sure where I'm gonna find a horse at short notice 😆I'll have to see what I can get my hands on. My library is famously rubbish! (and they definitely have a very poor horse selection. I should complain...)
Ok, I've managed to find a copy of Neil Patrick Harris: Choose Your Own Autobiography, which I've been meaning to read for ages.CYOA books aren't exactly new to me either, but it's been a while, lol.

That's fine Sammy, they just have to be not USUAL
