You guys!! I just found the awesome that is an Audiobook. It all started when I won a copy of The Bone Season from Novel Sounds. I downloaded it and signed up for the first month of Audible and ended up getting  Fangirl as well with my free credit.Â
And then I started listening.Â
I never really put much thought into audio books. Mostly because I didn’t think it would be the same experience as reading a book, but also because I always felt that I didn’t have much time to listen. Plus… would the narrator do weird voices and stuff?  I mean, I’m not a three year old.
Let me tell you this is certainly not the case.
I mean, first of all, I sit at my desk for 8 hours a day… plenty of time to listen to books while I work right? While it’s definitely a different reading experience than actually sitting down with a book and reading the words myself, I still found it just as enjoyable.
It’s like those storytime things you hear about at the library for kids… but it’s for me!

Then I moved on to The Bone Season – I adore the narrator of this story – Alana Kerr’s voice was so amazing to listen to, and she did a wonderful job. This is another book that I had already read, but I have to say that it’s a whole different experience simply listening along.Â
This is where I will probably struggle in my review of the actual books because I’m not sure what else to tell you.   I have to say that I would probably still ‘read’ the book myself even if I did listen to the audiobook… I tend to take notes and comments to note in my reviews while I’m reading, but I really can’t do that while I’m listening. I mean, I probably could, but I’m too lazy and I think it would be harder for me to concentrate on the story if I’m trying to take notes.
I will definitely be getting additional audio books, and I’m almost done with The Bone season – if you have any recommendations, please drop them in the comments. I’d love to hear them!
