Is anybody interested in an Audible gift?
FourteenEyes@hexbear.net and a few others have been talking about reading this as a group, so I grabbed the ebook - ReadFanon@hexbear.net linked it in PDF & epub here - but wanted the audio version for sharing with my husband.
When I got it for him, I saw we have a few extra credits on the account, and it looks like I can use them to purchase titles to send as gifts. I thought some of you might like to have it? You'll have to DM me the email address associated with your account, but you'll get mine in return.
bit idea: saying you were going to do a thing and then people all start making reference to the fact that you're doing a thing and oh god now I have to do it oh god
❤️ oh hey, I know this feeling. Can I help? Maybe gather up a list of all the people who have asked to be tagged when it starts? Make a list of chapters as a first step towards developing a schedule? Idk, just throwing stuff out, lmk if there's anything I can do.
Honestly, tracking all the people who wanted to be tagged would be a great help. I was planning on putting something together today and organizing things like that is a nightmare for me

Here's a link to the .m4b of the audiobook, hosted on catbox.moe/litterbox:

I assume it's in .m4b format because it's a chapterised audiobook. I just threw it into an audiobook app and it worked, and so should you, but I'd expect that VLC should be able handle it on desktop devices.
I've been listening to it for a while, so a warning for people wanting to listen to it too: you'll probably get distracted by flashbacks to your own past experiences multiple times while listening.
So consider setting up the "rewind button" of whatever platform you use so you can easily go back when you get distracted.
It's on myanonamouse, I think I have a copy of the whole audiobook lying around somewhere and was waiting for the book club too. I can set it up somewhere for direct download if y'all want, just need to know where is a good place for that. Y'all can listen to on something like Voice on Android or Cozy on Linux.
Unrelated but I really want the sequel to Jurassic Park. I just can't give Amazon any more money though.
DM me the link to the book and the email address associated with your account
