I have credits on Hoopla again! I usually only listen to romance or history audio books. I generally dont like to listen to other genres because I feel like the narration could ruin my interest in the book. What I would read in my head may be an amazing story, but what i listen to might rob that experience from me. With that being said, I want to branch out more. There are so many books I want to read but just dont have the time for. So what are some of the best audiobooks you've listen to? I'm open to all genres!

Didn't realize i had tickets until now and my son ia sick. Just trying to see if someone can use them so it's not a complete waste.

Edit: tickets claimed!

If you lost a blue dbacks hat in the shirtless group or know someone who lost it, its at guest relations. Hope it finds its rightful owner!

Im a renter and my landlord can be somewhat difficult so I like to I'd like to know if this is a legit concern before I say something. You know the smell when the heater turns on? Well I smell that before my AC actually kicks in. Its not like hot air is blowing, but its not cool right away. I live in Arizona so a running good AC is pretty important here.

I'm a single mom who makes about 40k a year in what I would consider a MCOL city (but I think its trending toward HCOL). I moved here from California after my divorce because my dad lives here and it used to be a pretty affordable city. I don't live with him anymore for numerous reasons (his health and fiancée). I only stayed with him until my son was finally in school (daycare is ridiculous). When we finally got our own apartment I messed up by maxing out my credit card (10k limit). I stopped using it around 9k and got serious about locking down my spending. The funny thing is, its not like i was spending it on anything crazy or useles. Bought some furniture from ikea, food, and maybe some toys/books here and there. It's been challenging getting used to our new living circumstances. Last year I finally figured it out and was barely able to live paycheck to paycheck however that came with a cost. I stopped paying my credit card because I couldnt afford it. I was hoping that it would just go to collections and be more manageable. However I didnt anticipate getting sued by Wells Fargo. I wasn't too upset about the outcome because in total it will be 13k and will no longer accrue interest. Im 4,000 away from paying off my car. I was planning on using my tax refund to try to speed that up so I could focus on my WF credit card. I received 4,800 this year. I was excited because I was going to be able to breathe for a moment, pay my rent this month, and put a large payment towards my car so it would be paid off this year. I felt like I was finally getting to a point where I could relax just a little bit. However, when I went to pay my rent last night, I noticed WF pulled my tax refund from my account. I received it on April 27th and lost it on April 28th. Now I dont have enough for rent and am behind again. I just broke down. Even now its hard to not start crying even though im public right now. I cant sleep and I cant stop stressing. Im just so beyond tired. I barely have a support system. I feel like I've been in survival mode for years now. I hate to admit that sometimes thoughts cross my mind about giving up. My son is the only reason I haven't succumbed to my thoughts. I dont know how much longer I can keep up this facade that everything is okay. I feel so much shame and loneliness. Meanwhile ny ex-husband is remarried, has another kid, just started his own business last year but doesnt even bother talking to our son. He hasn't seen our son in 4 years and hasn't talked to our son since March 2nd. This is normal. He'll go months without calling. We've called during that time but get no answer. My son will eventually stop asking until his dad finally decides to talk to him again. Then he'll just disappear and my son will keep calling again until he doesn't. Its a cycle and I hate it.
