I have been under going treatment for my diabetic eye condition which will be on going for the next for months (at least). This means that I won't be able to read as many physical books or e-books as I would have liked to so much of the tbr which I had planned on reading in February didn't go as planned. I will be concentrating on reading physical books and e-books from my own collection as that will allow me to take reading at my own pace, rather than trying to cram them all into a deadline that occurs when I borrow them from a library.
I will also be listening to more audiobooks and I've reactivated my subscription to Audible as I find the service easier to use than Libro.fm, and I have access to more books that way. The audiobook service at my library isn't very good for me because their selection is too limited and I can't stream them directly from the website. When your eyesight is blurred to the point where you can't see properly, and your eyes are heavily photo sensitive, having to use an additional program to listen to audiobooks becomes problematic.
I will also be renewing my membership of Listening Books as it has been quite a useful service to me over the past couple of years, but they do not always have the books available that I want to read as they need to cater for a wide variety of interests and they can't always get a audiobook due to copyright issues, which is another reason why I decided that reactivating my Audible subscription during this time would be useful.
During this time, I will not be able to accept ARCs, or books for review from authors and publishers as I do not know if I will be able to read them. An audiobook that can be streamed online I will be able to accept, but not if it requires an Apple or Android device as I do not currently own one.
