@ Mary I don’t think it...Thanks for all the input!<br /><br />@ Mary I don’t think it’s cheating but I’ve heard other say the same thing.<br /><br />I think I’m leaning towards the Fever series by Karen Marie Moning for now. I’ve read them all but wanted to do a re-read before Shadow Fever’s release in December. <br /><br />Thanks again for taking the time to comment :)CHRISTIEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08201194083470343354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3717289907317617280.post-32056841979419860562010-04-11T15:54:47.083-05:002010-04-11T15:54:47.083-05:00I do enjoy audio books.

I'll just pop my ipod in and clean the house, or take a walk or do the grocery shopping while I'm reading. It's nice!<br /><br />My sister thinks listening to audio books is cheating. Like you didn't actually read it. I don't agree.MARY IN SCOTLAND https://www.blogger.com/profile/04390613561715464322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3717289907317617280.post-66252548575418417542010-04-09T14:26:45.198-05:002010-04-09T14:26:45.198-05:00I love audio books. I listen to them all the time....I love audio books. I listen to them all the time. <br /><br />The Help by Katheryn Stockett is amazing on audio. <br />Mike Resnick's Fables of Tonight (Stalking the Unicorn, Stalking the Vampire, and Stalking the Dragon) are also great audios. <br />Terry Pratchett's books are great on audio and Neil Gaiman has great audio books too. <br />Spencer Quinn's books (Chet the Dog series including Dog On It and Thereby Hangs a Tail) are excellent in audio. <br />I think last year I listened to something like 60 audio books, so let me know if you have any questions. One thing with audible (I've been a member there for three+ years) is to make sure you listen to the clips before purchasing. I have found many books that although I loved the written version, the reader was just awful and I couldn't even get through it. I still make mistakes and end up with books that aren't high quality audio production. But I rarely have those issues.WonderBunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08402631427338318319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3717289907317617280.post-6216901436088007432010-04-09T13:38:19.828-05:002010-04-09T13:38:19.828-05:00I'm undecided.

I've listened to...I love listening in the car. I've listened to the Twilight series, the Harry Potter series (he's excellent), several of the Black Dagger books (currently listening to Rhevenge's book), Karen Marie Moning's Darkfever series, and one Sookie book. I find it takes me a few minutes to get used to any new voice when I'm starting a new series, but I really liked the Harry Potter books and the Sookie books had a good accent and was pleasant to listen to.Patti (@TheLoveJunkee)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01732605328006594727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3717289907317617280.post-11847058262511305832010-04-08T20:57:16.815-05:002010-04-08T20:57:16.815-05:00I absolutely love listening to audio books; especi...I absolutely love listening to audio books; especially if you have a great narrator and voice to listen to that brings out the emotions and feelings out of the characters; and brings them to life. I usually listen to book on audio when I am taking walks or cleaning, working out or just when I am playing computer solitaire.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3717289907317617280.post-20357489284857744392010-04-08T20:00:35.261-05:002010-04-08T20:00:35.261-05:00I've never used an audio book either.

I think it would be nice when I am cleaning, in the car, working out and other things that you can't while you do them.
