Anyone who is interested in reading books will find this blogger writes the best reviews of what she is reading.
Nancy Posey is a reader, writer and teacher. She wears all three hats as she writes about the books she reads.
I often share her blog posts with friends who are avid readers. Although I don't read as many novels as I once did, I put many of Nancy's suggested books on my TBR list.
Today I am putting this book, Love and Ruin, Another Mrs. Hemingway, on the list. I hope I can find it on Audible. Most of the time, now, I listen to books instead of reading them.
What about you? Do you listen to books or still prefer to read the words?

Reading for me. I find voices distracting when/if they don't match the image in my head.
ReplyDeleteI have many books on my Kindle but much prefer having a bonafide book in my hands, with pages to turn and everything. I don't listen to audible books right now, because I figure when I go blind (which is in my future), I'll do nothing else. :-)
ReplyDeleteI also prefer listening to books instead of reading them. Did you know that Amazon smart speakers read Kindle books aloud? I recently got an Amazon Tap, thanks to a gift certificate from my brother for my birthday. I like the voice that reads these books, so if you have such a speaker, you might want to ⠛⠊⠧⠑ that a try.
ReplyDeleteDJan, I hope that your vision never leaves you, but I can understand your feelings about reading a real book.
ReplyDeleteI have many books on my Kindle and can't seem to find the time to read them. I use the Audible books at night after I turn off my light. I go to sleep listening to the reader. Right now I am listening to Mary Karr read from her memoir,Lit. She is a good reader of her work.
EC, thanks for your comment. I hope people will always want to read books, hold them and turn pages. I can't imagine what my life would be like without books. Most of my reading is from books on writing and books that help me with my teaching.
ReplyDeleteAbbie, I will have to become educated about the Amazon Smart Speakers reading Kindle books. So much about the new technology that I have yet to learn.
ReplyDeleteThis week I am learning to use a blue tooth head phone with my smart phone. In Georgia there is a law against using your phone while driving. Since I drive down to Atlanta very often and usually call my sister while on the way, I have to find a way to call without touching my phone. I know it is safer, but harder for me now.
