The next Outlander.
Holly by Stephen King though technically not a series.

I agree. Motivation goes out the window the second I have to do it. It supposed to be fun!

Right on! Let AI do the math and crap while I play in my paints and write my crazy stuff.

This is true. I have one signed first edition, and it still isn't worth much. I didn't get it for investment anyway.

Okay so you could do an experienced weekly reporter. Or twist things up a bit and use a scientist who for some reason has an experiment each week blow up. You could make that like a curse or something.
Think outside the box and brain storm some. Go nuts.

It is actually quite well done. I've watched it several times.

The Dark Tower. They tried to make it like marvel instead of Stephen king. Totally terrible.

Reply to What to do with digital library on kindle by FangFeline
The ones you buy can easily be moved to a back up drive or even storage on your computer. Hook it up, drag and drop.

Reply to Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn by JustAnSenileSquid
Personally, I liked the book ending. It illustrates exactly what a psychopath can do without being the psychopathic killer. Psychopathy can takeany forms, and that woman...wow.

Oh yeah. Several in one! Loved it, esp the writing style changing as the story goes.

Reply to David Copperfield, by Charles Dickens by holdaydogs
I used the audiobook to go through all the classics. It's a really great book. Dickens hasn't been this popular for this long without a reason.
Bleak House is still my fave cuz wow does that translate to today!!!

I don't know if a more paced narrator would help, but Davina Porter and Scott Brick are clear, enunciate well, and have a pretty steady pace. There are others, but my brain can't hold that catalog.
If you have audible, read the reviews. Somebody always reviews the narrators. See what they say.
There are a ton of great ones. I pointed out these two specifically as they have a lot of material to choose from, and with a stable voice, it might be a bit easier on you.

I always listen a second time if I liked it to pick up those details. It's an extra adventure!

The screen dimming and fon't adjusting is great for me on app and the Kindle. I'm very light sensitive so ... Godsend.
My library is okay. The digital selection is county wide so it's better.
Generally you can only get a card for the county you legally reside in. (Florida libraries have a special thing for snowbirds).
I have family on other countries, and we've shared our library cards so we can find different things. Maybe not totally legal - I don't know. But it has worked for us.

I love the book. There is more detail about what the "shine" is, and while the movie was decent, I prefer the character building and the spooky little things in the book that would make a movie way too long.
And yes, it scared the shit out of me several times. The lady in the bath is way scarier in the book.
Disclaimer: I love almost every Stephen King book I ever read so def bias here.

Yes there is. If ya Google it you can see the covers for first editions and the one meant for mass production.
Reacher is awesome. So is Will Trent.
