Listening to audiobooks is better than not reading at all. A book in your ears beats a book in your closet.

Anyone needing a story to listen to while doing other stuff can now check out my audiobook on Spotify. I wrote this under a penname and never intended to make an audio version, but @GetLexApp's AI audio tool makes the process easy for indie authors. open.spotify.com/show/1fBmb2…

Speaking of modernity being sick, my COVID satire novel about a psychopathic serial killer in a high fantasy world is now available as a full scored audiobook, currently on the Lex App. When society is sick, real heroes need to be sicker. Listen to it on Lex!

This is an awesome project. Going to be very cool for you audiobook listeners. Good chance to get a free sample if you'd like to hear something and see what they come up with. 👇

Hey, fellow writers! Lex is changing the audiobook game by letting anyone get studio-grade quality affordably using the latest AI. If you want to hear a chapter sample, see the comments of the post below for a link to a medieval fantasy novel I published under a penname in 2020. 👇

This is a great deal for authors to get their work in audio form for a fraction of the cost! @GetLexApp is a platform where authors can sell their ebooks, get them voiced by Lex’s (not-so-ai-sounding) ai narrators and paired with Epidemic Sound’s extensive library of music and sound effects, and finally hear their written words come alive! Right now you can send them your first chapter and get a sample of their service within 24 hours! Go to Lex-books.com/audio to learn more! But Lex isn’t only geared towards authors, in fact it was originally designed with the reader in mind! Book worms of all types can read and listen to literature new and old! I use it all the time at work, during research, and I can’t wait to hear the new cinematic audiobooks! Go check it out! And if you’re a reader, and interested in Lex Premium, you can use my referral link to get 15% off! Happy reading! lex-books.com/pricing?ref=RE…

I have one physical and one audiobook (on @GetLexApp) going:

I'm still going through "Waning of the Middle Ages" on @GetLexApp. Highly recommended. Incredible book. Incredible look into medieval history..

I just finished listening to this book on @GetLexApp It’s filled with the most incredible anecdotes about duels. At one point he says, “The duel descends to domestic murder and to the heights of civil war”. This book takes you to both places and many others in between!

Empire-Builders, I am pleased to announce that the inaugural read of our book club is Washington: A Life by Ron Chernow (2011). The timing is doubly auspicious, seeing as today is World Book Day and 72 days from now is our nation’s 250th birthday. Clocking in at 928 pages and 300,000+ words, this book is on the longer side, so we’ll set aside 3 weeks to complete it (May 14th). I know we all have things going on. I am moving to San Francisco and have an 8-hour drive ahead of me with a car full of books, so the plan is to switch between the audiobook, ebook (which I am reading on Lex), and physical book (once it arrives at my new place). The Empire-Builders book club is free. Anyone can join, read along, and stay tuned for the official review, a list of companion works, guest posts, and more. There is one paid tier ($9.99/month or $95.99/year) that gets you the following: 1. The ability to nominate and vote on the next book 2. Livestreamed discussions 3. 100% off Lex Premium (Lex is a social app for reading, built and maintained by myself) I remain open to your feedback about any of the logistics, including reading pace, paid perks, the cadence for our discussions (weekly? biweekly? chapter-ly?). There will be a lot to figure out, but we’ll take it as it comes. I hope you'll join us.

I am listening to it right now on @GetLexApp. @MemoryMedieval actually reads it- he’s got a good voice for it! Some of the duelling stories are wild

So recently I've been thinking about launching a book club focused entirely on BIOGRAPHIES. This coincides with a change in direction for @GetLexApp, the app I've been building and it will also mark my return to YouTube. Got a vid planned that will get into all the details. Which biography should we start with? Here are four I've been wanting to read for a while.

They’re calling me the Bookmogger.

Want to keep track of all your reads in one place? You can now sessions in Lex. Doesn’t matter if you’re using Kindle, Audible, or even a print book. Log your sessions mid-read or after the fact, and snap a pic of any page to make highlights and extract text using OCR. That way you can also have all your notes in one place. Lex’s goal is to bring you the best reading recommendations possible. The more you log, the better your recommendations.

Did you know that Lex Premium users can generate one free audiobook per month? Probably not, considering I just shipped this feature an hour ago. Let me know if you like the 8 default voices…and stick around the till the end for a surprise.

I’d recommend this nice, light read.

Ryan Gosling is great and all, but this is what I actually pictured Ryland Grace from Project Hail Mary sounding like.
