How do you feel about audio books in comparison to actually reading a physical book? I feel like I am too visual to be able to enjoy just listening to a book being read.

I don’t retain the information as well with audiobooks. I retain the information better if I’m actually reading.

  That’s what I am afraid of with myself.

    Give at least one a try and if it doesn’t work it doesn’t work. You don’t know until you try. Just because they don’t work for me doesn’t mean they won’t work for you.

      I may have to find a free one that interests me to see. I’m usually quite visual, but I do want to give one a try.

        The library and overdrive are great resources.

        I’ve heard great things about the Harry Potter audiobooks.

        That may be a great start for me actually. I have not read the books and was considering hitting the series and doing a blog special since pretty much every reader I know has read them.

        I’ve seen the first 3 I think. I honestly don’t remember much. I had seen them with my brother.
