Tell Me Something Tuesday!

Tell Me Something Tuesday

I've been wanting to start this one for a while. The questions are great discussion topics. 

This weeks question is: Audiobooks: Do you listen to them? Why or why not?

Answer: Yes and No......haha no but seriously I don't listen to audio books but my kindle keyboard and kindle fire HDX both have a text to speech computer voice that will read most books. I don't listen to them often unless I'm crafting and the house is quiet. It's easy for me to get distracted of stop listening which is why I don't listen to them often. If I worked and had to leave the house and drive I could see myself listening to them a whole lot more. Currently it's been over six months since my kindles last read a book to me. I love to hold either the kid and book in my hand and typically I read faster than the text to speech voice. 
Now when the munchkin starts school this fall it's possible I will have more time for crafting and with all the quiet time I'll be able to listen to audio books. 

Are you a audio book fan?

  1. Thanks for being a part of TMST, Mandy. It took me awhile to really settle into audiobooks. I don't like the Kindle speech it sounds weird. I highly recommend trying a professional audiobook. The library has some, and like other bloggers pointed out, there are always sales on them. Once you get hooked, you will find that you can squeeze in a bunch more reads.

  2. I tried listening to an audiobook once. It didn't work. The narrator threw me off for some reason and I wasn't able to picture anything.
