I have nothing against the legitimacy of audiobooks but I do have something against people listening to them on 2x speed and getting mad you haven’t read the physical version as fast as them for book club (girl it’s still in the fucking mail)

yeah even listening on 2x speed isn’t a big deal but if you agreed to be in a book club you agreed to read at the pace of the group

Exaaactly. On the rare occasion I do listen to audio books (mostly for when I had books for class due I’d listen in the car otw back from campus from my internship) I usually do listen to them a bit faster than normal. BUT part of the fun of book club is reading TOGETHER. I fear she’s using this as another excuse to just publicly drink without weird looks since I know we’ll have wine or something 🥴
