Currently on a third libby hold. Since it’s a book Nate and I are doing together it’s taking more time. Also crazy that 35% is still 16hrs (don’t tell Nate but I have us listen on 1.15x and he hasn’t said anything even though he swears he has to read on 1x normally) (I keep slowly increasing by .05) (I listen normally on 1.5x-1.75x)

I’m loving this book and glad that I’m listening w/ Nate bc he is able to help explain some of the phrases and general history going on at the time of the book that I would not have gotten if I read this on my own. I’m also glad I’m audiobooking bc I think it allows me to digest it better. There are so many details but they don’t feel unnecessary & im excited to see how they continue to play out.
