    I am a broken record on this subject, but come on Audible, after listening to the complete Jorge Luis Borges (long but SO worth it!), I do not consider Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince to be a title suitably recommended "based on your listening".

    “The snow melted around the school as February arrived, to be replaced by cold, dreary wetness. Purplish-grey clouds hung low over the castle and a constant fall of chilly rain made the lawns slippery and muddy.” ⚡ -Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince 🩸

    I went through the bookshelf, because I knew I had a copy of American Gods, and I wanted to leave an American Gods-sized gap. Unexpectedly, there's now a "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince"-sized gap as well. I don't even know how it got there.
