Of course audiobooks are not for everyone but both narrator and content make a huge difference.

Best audiobook I've ever read was probably Born A Crime written and narrated by Trevor Noah. I'd really suggest you give it a try. If it can't hold your attention then I don't think there's hope left for you lol

The event is called Lucca Comics and Games and has panels, meet and greets, interviews and on stage performances happening. It's definitely a comicon :)

Yeah it's really neat! I'm not into anime and comics but you don't even need a ticket to enter Lucca during the festival, you just buy one if you wanna go to the meet and greets and that kind of stuff

All the people in costume walking by old churches and through picturesque alleyways really make it kind of magical.

Of course it's not the best, just like any other crowded place but the fact that it mostly takes place out in the open and in the fall definitely helps!
