Yeah! The first one is Shards of Earth. I have it sitting on my nightstand to read next since the final book of the trilogy just came out.
Thinking about it, I wonder if listening to an audiobook would help me with the phobia since I'm not usually bothered by people talking about spiders and, for whatever reason, I don't create as much visualization in my head when I am listening to something as opposed to reading it. Especially since the narrator seems so good!
That's an interesting observation! If you do end up giving it a shot and it doesn't bother you as much via audio, you definitely won't be disappointed in the narrator (IMO). ๐ (Then again, I feel like I'm really picky about audiobook narrators for some reason, haha).
I feel you. I'm also picky about narrators. I've stopped listening to a lot of books because the narrator threw me off. It's harder to enjoy the plot/characters if the storyteller has the wrong vibes.
