Sharp Objects: A Novel | Gillian Flynn

Can‘t tell if it‘s because I listened as an audio book or because it‘s a mystery type (and I hate mysteries), but there were times I thought it moved too slow. Overall pretty good and the ending...YAAASSS #firstaudiobook #audiobooknewbie #newbienomore #listeningisfuntoo

Sharp Objects: A Novel | Gillian Flynn

Okay, jumping on the bandwagon and reading Sharp Objects...well not reading per say but trying out my FIRST audio book. Maybe this isn‘t the best audio book to start with? 🤔🤷🏼‍♀️ Tips on how to stay focused and pay attention? #audiobooknewbie #firstaudiobook #stayfocused #audiobookisstillreading

candority I just finished my first audiobook yesterday! I listened while I was driving, as well as when I was doing tasks that weren‘t too mentally demanding (like cooking, getting ready for bed etc.). I‘ve tried audiobooks in the past but gave up because I hated the narrator. If their voice isn‘t working for you, give another audiobook a try! Also, I found that listening at 1.5 of the speed was a lot better! (edited) 6y

LibLib @candority there are speeds!?! I clearly haven‘t done enough investigation into this new app I downloaded 😅😬 6y

Reagan I have a hard time with fiction audiobooks. I typically listen to celebrity autobiographies or collections read by many different narrators. World War Z is great. 6y

LibLib @Reagan-reads I will have to give that one a try next! Thanks for the suggestion. 6y

When Dimple Met Rishi | Sandhya Menon

Enjoying this book and the #Dimple reader, but the #Rishi reader is driving me crazy when he does women's voices. Anyone else encounter this, here or in different books?

DebinHawaii Hah! I ended up really enjoying the audiobook but yes, the Rishi reader's female voices got on my nerves too-especially at first. I think I got used to it by the end. 😆👍 7y

UrsulaMonarch 😂 @DebinHawaii I think I'm getting used to it too! I do still appreciate that his chapters are less frequent though! 7y

RealLifeReading I am somewhat of an audiobook newbie too but I tend to stick to nonfiction, somehow I don't like listening to fiction! 7y

UrsulaMonarch @RealLifeReading yes I really think I'm going to move more to nonfiction! I was a bit put off when I didn't like the narrator (author!) of

Radium Girls: The Dark Story of America's Shining Women
