COZY AUDIOBOOK RECS PLZ! I've been narrating some dark and heavy audiobooks lately and want to listen to something cozy to balance them out. Tell me your favorites! (I've already read everything by Travis Baldree, Sarah Beth Durst, and Haylock Jobson). #CozyFantasy #CozyMystery #CozyRomantasy

Well that was awkward. I just did a half sneeze. I did the "ah" part (loudly) but the "choo" didn't happen! 🤣

My favorite AI / robot voice style is the one that sounds like Stephen Hawking. It's not trying to fool anyone, but more interesting than the monotone "Danger Will Robinson" style.

Words have multiple meanings, especially when technology changes. That means you can write a book with a typewriter, you can hang up a cell phone, and you can read an audiobook!

I’m not usually one to get excited over a movie, but I might actually venture out to a theater to see “Project Hail Mary”. The audiobook was SO GOOD!

Before the term "Cozy Fantasy" was coined, I had a hard time finding those kinds of stories. Even after the term became common, it still wasn't a category on Amazon. I blogged about it, campaigning for it to be a category. I'm not saying it was my blog that did it, but at long last...

Back in school I was great at math, except for the story problems, which were few. As an adult, I now realize that all math is story problems and therefore I'm horrible at math.
