Happy accident

July 12, 2024 - 15:34 -- Admin

I’m sitting in my apartment in Hobart, waiting for Jane to arrive, having flown in earlier today. I did a new thing on the flight down. I listened to a whole audiobook. It was only two hours long, and I was a bit pissed off when I bought it by accident, thinking it was a full-length Mick Herron Slow Horses title.

But it was just a short short. The List.

I’d tapped the insta-buy button at the end of Dead Lions, not realising I was blowing a whole Audible credit on a short.

But, it was actually kinda perfect. A whole self-contained story, very well executed, to last the length of the flight and no more.

I might even do this again. But I won’t waste a credit. I’ll just buy it outright.
