Last week, I logged onto twitter .com to lament about forgetting to pre-purchase the new hunger games book, not wanting to spend money, and how the Public Library had a CRAZY wait list...
(A [tiny] thread):
My school librarian saw the bat signal and got an audio book copy for me available for our district library — AND alerted me the moment it went “live” so I could get it first. ( https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😘" title="Face throwing a kiss" aria-label="Emoji: Face throwing a kiss"> @TotallyPatty )
A very kind member of my PLN (whom I’ve yet to meet IRL) sent me an Amazon Gift Card (https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="‼️" title="Double exclamation mark" aria-label="Emoji: Double exclamation mark">) for the exact amount of the hardcover. (Again— wow, what generousity, @LennonAudrain!)
So now I’m listening to an audio version WHILE reading the paper copy. This is actually perfect for me, because my ADD actually does derail me often if I only have one medium, and makes reading “hard” sometimes.
BONUS: the narrator is Original Josh from CW’s finest: Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.
Moreover: the book is way better than my high expectations! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🐍" title="Snake" aria-label="Emoji: Snake"> https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🐦" title="Bird" aria-label="Emoji: Bird"> https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🏹" title="Bow and arrow" aria-label="Emoji: Bow and arrow">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌹" title="Rose" aria-label="Emoji: Rose">
Lesson: it pays to tweet!
