I'm finally starting on Watership Down for the first time in life... it's one of those holes, and now I am happily filling it. Just thought I'd share.
Zoe: What's that, sir? Mal: Freedom, is what. Zoe: No, I meant what's that? Mal: Oh. Yeah. Just step around it. I think something must've been living in here.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Watership Down is one of my comfort reads. Enjoy!

Chirp has The Murderbot Diaries audiobooks on sale as a bundle of 5 for $20, in case anyone could use that

Can I download a Chirp audiobook to my laptop and save it for later? Or am I locked into the Chirp app?

I don’t know and now I’m interested. I pretty much only listen on my phone , and while you can download books and keep them on the phone to listen to offline I don’t know where the file is stored or if you can access it any other way than the app. You can get to your library via browser but maybe only for streaming. I think I used to have something that could download the audio stream in that situation but it’s a long time since I’ve actually done it.

From what I can tell Chirp is locked into their app or stream from the website. I no longer want to purchase things I can't own.

In other news, I'm reading The Raven Scholar and enjoying it a lot.

I just finished The Retired Assassin’s Guide to Country Gardening. It’s set in NZ, and I quite enjoyed it. I preordered the next in the series.
