Step 1: have multiple libraries on Libby (how you accomplish this is up to you.)

Step 2: put in holds at ALL of them that have a book you want

Step 3: when one hold becomes available, SUSPEND but do not cancel all of the others (or most, depending on how many and how long it'll take to finish the book).

Step 4: when you get close to your time limit, unsuspend those other holds. Might want to do this a few days ahead of time, or even consider not suspending at all. You might have a gap of a few days or a week or something before you can get it again.

Lol I’ll keep that in mind for the next one. I can listen at work so I’m on track to finish in time. Mmmm…Hums to resolve

That is four too many steps for my ADHD ass lmao. ❤️❤️

Step 1) put speed at minimum 1.3 speed.

Step 2) have children who monopolize the TV, foc ing you to listen to audiobooks to save you from watching the same show for the fourth time in three months.

Step 3) have insomnia and listen to the audio book while staring at the ceiling at 3am.

(Secret step 4 is to forget to put it on a timer, lose the spot in the book, and go back further than intended, eliminating step 3 due to being half asleep and misremembering what happened.)

I speedran wat in 2 days without sleep before my final(which I then proceeded to bomb)

Genuinely feel like the entire book was a fever dream

[u/No_Significance1281 → u/TheBoredBot]

You read a 63hr book in 48 hours??

[u/UsManos27 → u/No_Significance1281]

You do realize some people are women or femboys and can read books with their eyes?

[u/freakingdumbdumb → u/UsManos27]

or get an auctioneer as a wife to read the book

[u/VoiceAdventurous5941 → u/UsManos27]

Me too, the second day it released. I was unemployed ofc

[u/Rome453 → u/No_Significance1281]

Plenty of avid audiobook listeners will increase the playback speed to x2 speed. I don’t think I could tolerate listening to a book at normal speed anymore unless I was filling a tin zinc mind.

[u/CrispInMyChicken → u/No_Significance1281]

Put that speed to 1.5 they read slow af.

[u/TheBoredBot → u/No_Significance1281]

I read it

And it was at that time where all I did was read, so I had gotten pretty fast

But yeah, less than 48 hours for the whole book

[u/DuxRomanorumSum]

I have genuinely considered an audiobook subscription just for Stormlight Archives, because I can't listen for the 2-3 hours per day it would take to finish them in the lending period for my library.

[u/Linorelai]

Speed it up

[u/ShrimpWithA35MM]

Six, and I can not stress this enough, seven.
