One of my favorite audiobooks is The Heist Society by Ally Carter.

Since it just so happens that I'm currently rereading the HP series, I might go with one of those first. Probably the seventh book, as I've read it so many times and it's nice to get a fresh perspective.TheScribblingSpritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14594958277392976297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873982736592050445.post-46117712464816123162015-05-21T09:01:14.481-05:002015-05-21T09:01:14.481-05:00Yeah.

I'm a rebel, lol, so I don't like to conform. For me, it's just easier and more enjoyable to read the book myself.<br />But, if you have any recommendations, I'm open to give 'em a go. :)<br /><br /><br />Alexa<br />thessalexa.blogspot.com<br />verbositybookreviews.wordpress.comAlexa Mintahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13865586987033390255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873982736592050445.post-71295335940965584692015-05-19T04:43:34.199-05:002015-05-19T04:43:34.199-05:00I LOVE AUDIO BOOKS.

I cannot sit still and listen to them though. xD I have to be out walking or cleaning or just doing something with my hands. ;-)CG @ Paper Furyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14954615708675952085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873982736592050445.post-89408706293723739222015-05-18T19:34:05.588-05:002015-05-18T19:34:05.588-05:00I asked this same question a couple of months ago....I asked this same question a couple of months ago. I listened to an audiobook and couldn't stand it. I will tell you what I was told: Listen to the Harry Potter series narrated by Jim Dale before you write off audiobooks completely. He is very good.<br /><br />With that being said, I have a hard time focusing on audiobooks. I find that if I'm washing dishes or something I forget to pay attention to the recording. So I don't think I will stick to old favorites so if I miss something I won't be lost.

Usually the narrators are really good (especially for Roald Dahl books) and like if you're in the car or something it could be helpful :)Rachel Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691540712142433795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873982736592050445.post-85542436505316094892015-05-18T13:16:11.722-05:002015-05-18T13:16:11.722-05:00Ooh, thanks Katie!

I had pretty good luck with The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe in the car once, but it's hard to not pay attention to a favorite. I thought audiobooks would be great to listen to on an airplane a few months ago, but I kept falling asleep during the one book I tried to listen to, so I gave up.serenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06375307816652807841noreply@blogger.com
