It does seem like a book becomes a different story based on the narrator(s) and sometimes I feel bad about a bad review of a book I listened to. Doesn't stop me from doing it though.<br />I need one of those all-day spa days!

I thought it was just me because pretty much everyone was singing the praises of audiobooks. I had all those same struggles - accents, pronunciations, inflections, pacing. But after a lot of trials, I finally managed to like audiobooks.Athirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03366654538383603004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-91157515395995386762014-07-01T19:18:43.231-04:002014-07-01T19:18:43.231-04:00I've just recently become an audio book conver...I've just recently become an audio book convert. It took me a long time to be able to pay attention that way, and I've learned there are certain specific activities I can do while listening (dishes, getting dressed in the morning, crocheting, walking, driving). They've really changed my reading life.

Story of a Happy Marriage is now high on my list - I just wish my library stocked more audio titles as I have to buy almost all the ones I listen to and the cost quickly rockets. Keep up the great audio book recommendations!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07698068501004755678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-80380783281459384802014-06-30T07:37:16.777-04:002014-06-30T07:37:16.777-04:00Beautiful photo of your lovely daughter!

I am glad you have been able to have some one on one time while your son is away. <br /><br />A day at the spa sounds like heaven! I am glad you got to use your gift card.<br /><br />I am about halfway through Fargo right now. I hope to catch up before the end of July. <br /><br />It's been months since I last listened to an audiobook. It's hard to find time. Maybe if my daughter was older and entertaining herself more . . . I won't wish for a longer commute. I'm quite happy with the short distance between my office and home right now, thank you very much. LOL It takes me forever to get through an audio book. I did well with them for awhile there--at least by my still slow standards--but lately, it's just not happening. I'm sure I'll get back to it when I'm ready.<br /><br />I hope you have a great week! <br /><br />Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-17292818946810425002014-06-29T14:39:53.253-04:002014-06-29T14:39:53.253-04:00I LOOOVED Happy Marriage but now I'm wishing I...I LOOOVED Happy Marriage but now I'm wishing I listened instead of read the print.
