Do you have to get debris and aquatic critters out of
the pool because you have hoards of guests coming to visit for the summer? Need
to get the knee high grass cut and clear the poison ivy away from the yard? Convince
the mosquitoes not carry off your guests? Have to give the old home a good cleaning?
AND….. all YOU want do is relax stretched out on a chase lounge to read a good Romantic
Suspense book?
Well, have I
got the solution for you.
Audio books!
Yes that’s
right. You heard me-
The new
craze among busy people who love to read.
Audio Books!
You can listen on your
phone
or E-reader
I’m here to tell ya listening
to books will make the drudgery of cleaning the pool, cutting the grass, cleaning closets, using the shop vac to suck
the crumbs from the oven, and scrubbing those toilets a thing of the past. You’ll
be so pleased to listen you’ll wish there was more work to do. Ehh! That last
statement might be pushing it.
I started ‘listening’
because of vision problems. Even with glasses over contacts, it was difficult
to read. After five eye surgeries reading is much easier now but I’m hooked on
listening. Many times I've foregone seeing a movie because the audio book
production was so good.
The big thing is, I can
listen to books and not feel guilty because I should be doing something else. ‘Cause I can do something else. Except drive. I get too engrossed in the
story. Shakes head here –Not a good thing. Now that I’m thinking about it,
listening to the, shall I say, steamy parts, of a romance novel in the doctor's
office or in the dentist chair, not good either. Well, it's not bad that you're
listening to it there, it's odd to explain why your neck and face are turning
red and you're hyperventilating. Whatever you do, just say no to the hygienist
if she wants you to take out the earphones so she can hear also.
So, tell me, Do you listen
to your books? Do you have a favorite narrator? I would know Dick Hill
anywhere. He narrates many of my favorite books. Many actors lend their voices
to books. If any of you are longtime watchers of Law and Order you remember
there was a female psychologist on the show. Carolyn McCormick portrayed Dr
Elizabeth Olivet, and narrates The Hunger Games Trilogy. And… our very own Dee
J Adams narrates her own books.
My book Under Fire is
available in audio format.

I really enjoy Audio books in the car. For holidays I have to make a ten-hour drive, and the drive goes by in no time when I'm listening to a book.
Maureen i get to into the story and don't pay attention to the driving. Not good.
That's true, Rita. But the alternative would be that I sing, which is equally as dangerous. :)
I hope you're feeling better.
I love listening to audio books when I go for my walk, and I used to listen to them when I drove to and from work. Talk about "telling" me a story!
I'm sold! ;) Great ideas, Rita, but you left out "tuning out the kids" as a selling point. LOL
Maureen right arm is about 100% left arm is only 40% Thanks for asking. Off to the doctor again in a few.
Marcelle, I listen when I walk also. Walking has been curtailed of late. In a couple of weeks should be able to start again.
I LURVE MY AUDIO BOOKS
Anne Marie tunig them out could be dangerous. At least with my kids it would have been.
Rita - definitely dangerous. I would need to know what they're up to, for sure. LOL But I can do that with a visual and still tune out the yelling. ;)
I'm a new convert to audio books and love listening rather than reading. I do a lot of walking and listen with my iPod.
Welcome to the audio side Shelley
Rita!
I hate being so late to the party! Thank you for the shout out! I had so much fun narrating my books and I've been converted to a listener now because of it. I'll be doing an in depth I Spy on my Audible experience and I think you might get a kick out of it! Stay tuned.
