"Y'all this book is so dummmmmb. It is built on the most tenuous plot framework and relies entirely on the complete and utter social and emotional immaturity of all of the key characters and the least Science of all Sciences. BUT... it is the Sexy Zombie Apocalypse!"

I downloaded this for the Sangu Mandanna story. I listened to the first three stories instead. I might skip ahead to hers before the audiobook has to go back to Libby. Probably won't do the whole thing.

My gynecologist recommended this and it is SO good. The narrator is *chef's kiss*. I'm like every middle aged lady with a book club but I DON'T CARE.

Also I have knit most of a hat while listening. I am a very captive audience

IDK why I keep coming back to Sarah Gailey. WHYYYYYY, she says, and then she willingly downloads an audiobook about a main character who is sexually attracted to viruses.

Will I actually finish this one? Maybe I will!

I have paused in my listening to try out the advance audiobook of Nobody in Particular by Sophie Gonzales, and have no regrets.

Why on earth is it impossible for me to finish a romance YET I stay up way too late reading excruciating true crime books? Am I secretly a dark and disturbed person in a dark and disturbed world?

(Yes?)

Not marking this abandoned yet, but check in with me in 3 months

This book feels so draggy on audiobook. I just got to invasion day and I'm not convinced I'm going to see this one through

Love the plot so far, don't love the keeping-your-protagonists-at-arms-length writing style. Is it hazy or dreamy? Can't tell yet.

I'm trying to figure out if this is or isn't middle grade appropriate and fighting with the Hoopla audiobook interface. Hoopla! Get with the times! The back button on the steering wheel should rewind the audio 15 seconds, just like Libby!

I am completely incapable of reading anything right now; it is very much a problem.

This book is too long and I am tired of it

I'm so close but kind of don't care to finish? Which is more than I can say for the characters in this hockey romance. Because holy c*mshots, Batman.

Ooooo, Bahni Turpin is such a good narrator.

I found the first part of this audiobook so charming but I keep finding listening to music more appealing than putting this on. I just do not care if this couple makes it or not. It seems a shame to leave it unfinished, so I might plow through to the end...

In theory I might like this book? But the narrator has a habit of uptalking? It's not pervasive but it is frequent enough to be annoying? The pacing is also too slow? I brought the speed up to 1.5x to see if it helped? But it didn't?

In short, might be decent novella, but not my pick for an audiobook.

Okay, I made it to 15% but that's as far as I'm going this time. Bleep bloop abandoned.

I picked this as an audiobook palate cleanser because Libby suggested that I find something from the NYT best books of the 21st century list, and, yup, SOOOOOO much better than Fourth Wing

Odds are I'm going to abandon this one. Please write me a 5,000 word essay that proves that allowing (and practically encouraging) a 75% death rate among fewer than 400 military recruits annually creates a strong, unified force for your nation. Show your historical evidence.

Woops I started a 31 hour audiobook when I'm supposed to be working on my (self imposed) Caudill challenge
