It sometimes feels like work keeping my read catalog updated. Seems silly but it feels more difficult than it should be.

Writing reviews isn't hard but it seems to take a more time than it probably does. But the further I go from reading a book the worse my review quality gets. I'm 4 books backed up right now. Got to get them done today!

Wow the other reviewers weren't joking the number of times the MC's name is repeated feels like the author lost a bet or got a bonus for each time they called the MC by name. Randidly punched. Randidly hurt. Randidly looked back. The tree was taunting Randidly.

I'm now playing a game where I'm listening for a sentence that says Randidly's name twice. I'm thinking maybe "My name is Randidly" said Randidly.

Audiobook narrators have a considerable influence on how much I enjoy a book or series. I'd love Goodreads to eventually include narrator reviews and book associations at some point. I already make it a point to search for narrators I like to see about finding new content I might enjoy.

Have I said I hate the star rating system? The lower stars should have alt text such as "this was awful" or "I'd trade my soul to get my time back".

The current system states that 2 stars is an okay book that wasn't a waste of time. 1 star means I didn't like it and of course no stars but I'm unsure if that counts as a rating? So every star rating 2 and above should be decent. What do y'all think?

Adding books after the fact is tedious.

Do you ever get the feeling that some of these book reviews are empty vapid 5 star fakes?

Maybe I'm getting jaded. Maybe I'm just feeling salty. Either way I'm feeling fatigue on the series. The MC went from redoing saves for kicking butt to redoing saves to look like a pompous butt head. Since no one exists on the MCs level there isn't anyone to keep his gargantuan ego in check. From vanquishing enemies to vanquishing doubt people have of his power.

There is this almost social network that Goodreads seems to want to have. I am not sure where they want to go with it.

I was pushing through the Summoner series. Finally got to new content and was totally burnt out. I'll never re-read that again. Too many better things from the author. I will finish the new books eventually.

Gryff and the Goblet of Fi... I mean Magikai Neato. That was the best spelling I could come up with for the sound.

I'm not at all surprised how many stars I am willing to concede for excellent performances and erotic encounters.

New book in the Everybody Loves Large Chests series! re-listening to 1-6 to prep for #7 Goroth!

Need to write more reviews.

The phrase "people pleaser" works especially well because of the alteration. It was a missed opportunity when one of the cat scientists used "feline pleaser" when "pussy pleaser" would have fit purrfectly.

I'm going back to revisit previously read books. I'm impatient for too many new books. I want to come back in a few years to enjoy the books in mass. Many of the more complete series I read started getting released in 2016. So now I need to wait till 2028 lol.

I need to step away from my normal books. Something I know I'll enjoy at the start.

Suspension of disbelieve is key to enjoying these adult fantasy stories. Elves, magic, reincarnation, superheroes and harems full of love. The one common thing among these books that I find nearly breaks me out of the fantasy is just how easy the ladies get off. Makes me think of the comedy group The Lonely Island song Jizz in My Pants where a breeze is enough to get them off. Crazy fun fantasy (^_^)b

Changing voice actors really throws off the start of this book. I enjoy the new narrators and the old one but the change is jarring.

Starting yesterday (Sunday) I'm on a week long hiatus of audiobooks. I was already itching and lost yesterday. Today isn't much better. I worried that I was filling every possible second with an audiobook. I'm ready for this week to be over now.

I wonder if we had more stars to give for reviews would finding a good book be any easier? I figure that it wouldn't really matter. But I'd love to have a 10 star system anyways. I want to be able to give books 4.5/5 or 9/10!

Going back to re-listen to older books. I've been not finishing several books in a row now. I'll have to wait for new releases.
