Musing Mondays #9

Hosted by Should Be Reading

This week’s musing asks…
Do you listen to audiobooks? Why, or why not?

This is something that I've been thinking about a lot lately. I've never really been a fan of audio books, because I think the voice used to read can affect my view of a book (too much in my opinion). However, recently I've begun to consider using them when I'm travelling. My only problem with that is that I could easily been stranded half way through a story, and I hate to 'read' two books at once. Maybe a physical book and an audio used similtaneously?

Simultaneous might be a great way to get into them. :)

Here's my Musing Mondays post. :)

If I had a longer commute or traveled a lot, I might enjoy them more. But trying to use them in my everyday live, my mind tends to wander.

audiobooks are good for travelling so if you're driving you have something to keep your mind awake and/or if you're on plane/train you can sit back, relax and hear a good tale.

I actually agreed with you in my own post. :) Though I haven't listened to an audiobook myself, I don't think I'd like listening to the narrator. I like being able to come up with the characters' voices.

I used to have audiobooks in the car all the time, particularly when I had long journeys ahead but now I'm much more into podcasts. I also think they are too expensive when compared to physical or e-books.

I've only recently started getting into audiobooks. I listen to them while I'm at the gym. The problem I have is that sometimes I don't like the voice of the narrator it puts me off. Also, if your mind wanders its hard to go back over, whereas with a print book you can just re-read. Found you on the Beck Valley Books blog hop. I have a book blog over at http:elizabethbaxter.blogspot.com
