My audiobooks are clippy on Hoopla, but not anywhere else.
Clippy audio is not fun.
I agree. I know it would be possible to make an average on something like an entire library, but I just used a random foot of books, a ruler, and a tape measure.
Does anyone know how to find and average number of pages in a foot or meter of bookshelf across a whole library, or library system?
The attached image is the number of books I have read this year with their page and audio length stats.
If you read audiobooks, ebooks, or library books, the satisfaction of owning tall stack of books that you have read will not be possible for you.
To help you with that, I wanted you know that I pulled a random foot of book shelf and added up the pages. There are 4336 pages in my random foot of paperbacks with one hard cover.
Now you could put together a spreadsheet that tells you how many audio weeks and shelf feet of books you have read without owning the physical books.
If there is interest in this, I could release a template.
FBReader has always worked well for me.
Have you read, Antarctica by Kim Stanley Robinson? The book is science fiction, but covers Shackleton's story as a motif.
I'm reading To Sleep in a Sea of Stars by Christopher Paolini. It is a lot of fun so far. The characters are deep and believable. The plot is complex and interesting. I love it!
I just finished Whalefall by Daniel Kraus if you are looking for a gripping, hard-science, scuba survival thriller. The ending is so metal. The writing is great and the tension makes it hard to read and hard to put down.
Tiny Ronin, sweet and small, Cradled in a skateboard hall. No manger soft, no hay so deep, A ramp his bed, a dream to keep. Aboard his board, he'll soar and fly, Beneath the stars, up to the sky. No shepherds watch, no angels sing, But skaters cheer, a joyful ring. Ronin's music, a beat so strong, Echoes through the night, all night long. A legacy of grunge, A spirit free, a heart of gold.
