Audiobooks
Lately, I’ve really gotten into audiobooks. I think it was last summer that I re-activated my Audible subscription. I created an account to get that 1 free book years ago, but I canceled afterward and never even listened to the book. Until last summer, that is.
I was reluctant to listen to audiobooks because I figured I would miss too many details. When I listen to podcasts at work, I miss portions because I’m focusing on my work. However, I’ve found that there are tasks that I do during the day that I don’t need to focus on much, so I’m able to focus on the book enough to catch what’s going on. An example is that I spend about an hour in my car on an average day, so I can get a lot of listening done in my car.
I doubt that I would choose the audiobook for a book by one of my favorite authors or a book that comes highly recommended. I have been able to experience books that are off my radar. It’s allowed me to keep “reading” since though it’s harder for me to find the time to sit down and read a book these days.
It’s taken me a while to jump on the audiobook bandwagon because I love my paper books. I hope to continue utilizing them for a long time.
