Lola’s Ramblings: How do I decide to get an Audiobook?

Lola’s Ramblings: How do I decide to get an Audiobook?

In today’s discussion post I want to talk about how I decide to get an Audiobook and especially how I decide whether to get a certain book in audio or ecopy. Why I get the audio instead of ecopy There are multiple factors that can influence whether I get the audio instead of an ecopy of a book I want to read. I discuss them below. Narrator/ Sample. One of the most important things for me when deciding whether to get an audiobook is the narrator or sample. If I already know the narrator and enjoyed books narrated by that […]

Lola’s Ramblings: How many Books do you read at the same time?

Lola’s Ramblings: How many Books do you read at the same time?

When I was younger I always only read one book at the same time, I never even considered reading differently. I also didn’t do things like DNF books, both of those have changed. Nowadays I have multiple books going on at the same time and I enjoy reading that way and I can’t imagine only reading one book now. I figured that would be a fun topic to write about. How many books do I read at the same time? I read a lot of books at the same time. I have certain categories (for lack of a better word) […]

Lola’s Ramblings: Do you Read Multiple Editions of a Book?

It made me think of how some books get special editions with bonus content nowadays or stories like in anthologies get republished once they’re out of the anthology and then published with some extra content as an expanded edition. I sometimes struggle a bit with these, but then I also read some books that were new editions or got new editions that I really enjoyed, so wanted to share my thoughts […]

Lola’s Ramblings: 10 Opening Lines From Books I Read

Lola’s Ramblings: 10 Opening Lines From Books I Read

For today’s post I want to share some opening lines I liked from books that I read. Thanks to Kit from Metaphors and Moonlight for giving me the idea for this post. I looked at some of the first lines of books I read in the past year or two and compiled them in this post. For this post I always looked at the opening line of the first chapter and ignored prefaces or prologues if the book had them. It was fun looking at opening lines and finding some that would be fun to share and I also realized […]

Lola’s Ramblings: Reading Goals for 2025

Lola’s Ramblings: Reading Goals for 2025

Last year I set some loose goals to guide me what I wanted to focus on that year, for this year I decided to do this again and share these goals on my blog as well. These are mostly guidelines, but I don’t really mind if I don’t reach the exact number set out in these as long as I come close. Reading Goals for 2025 Read 10 Non-fiction Books. I made my goal to read more non-fiction in 2024 and wanted to continue that goal. 10 non-fiction books is a bit less than one a month so that seems […]
