Listening to The Hobbit while I clean my apartment. I love the idea of audiobooks but I struggle with keeping my mind from wandering. Does anyone else like audiobooks or do you prefer physical books? #thehobbit #jrrtolkien #bilbobaggins #audiobook #currentlylisteningto
Riveted_Reader_Melissa I like both, and audiobooks often depend on the subject & narrator and what else you are trying to do at the same time. They tend to work good for me for driving, coloring, and laundry day. 4y

MB1994 @Riveted_Reader_Melissa no matter what I do my mind wanders which leads me to have to rewind a lot. But I love the ability to multitask with them so I keep trying. 4y
DarkMina I like audiobooks because it allows you to multitask. I honestly prefer physical books or my kindle. 4y
Smarkies Audiobooks work for me with certain books vs others. I use it for cozy mysteries as those are lighter. Also for more contemporary YA books. I occasionally use it for non fiction that I would like to get a taste for. Sometimes they click sometimes they don't but I find that ok as I can multitask. I don't mind that my mind wanders occasionally 4y
MB1994 @DarkMina that‘s definitely the appeal for me. I like the idea of taking back some of the time I waste doing chores or working. 4y
MB1994 @Smarkies I found I do better with books I‘ve read before. That way I don‘t freak out as much if I do lose focus. 4y
MaGoose I don't listen to audio books as much as I used to. I used to listen on my 50-minute commute to and from work; but I've been retired for about five years now and have gotten out of the habit of listening to them. I have audio books on Audible and Chirp, but haven't started listening. I guess I like physical books the best, yet, over audio and ebooks. 4y
