[Book Blogger Hop] Reading Along To Audiobooks

March 22, 2019      Erica Robyn      14 Comments

Book Blogger Hop Meme

Book Blogger Hop is a weekly meme hosted by Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer, where you answer a question and join a “hop”. The purpose is to help bloggers discover and get to know one another.

For this week’s Book Blogger Hop question, Angelica @ Paperback Princess asked:

Do you read along with your audiobooks?

I LOVE reading along with audiobooks! It’s so much fun to compare the proper pronunciation of some things to what I would have read in my head.

I haven’t done this in awhile, but I’m hoping to soon when I reread The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden before I binge read the whole trilogy. I cannot wait to hear the pronunciation of the names in this series especially!

Thanks for reading!
If you’re an audiobook fan, what was the last one you listened to?

    I haven’t tried audiobooks yet, but I bet it can be fun to read along with them.

      Definitely!! Especially when you get a great narrator or a full cast audiobook! 🙂

    I really only listen to audiobooks in the car, so nope, haven’t done this! I’m listening to Broken Things by Lauren Oliver right now.

      Listening while in the car is so awesome! It certainly makes the commute go by quickly!

    I wish I could use audiobooks more. I tend to fall asleep when listening to them which is a real bummer.

      Oh I hear ya! I am SO picky about my narrators. If their voice is more sleep-inducing, I can’t do it! 🙂

    I just don’t really get the point of reading along using a physical book while listening to the audio version! I read fast so I’d be pages ahead or get bored waiting for the narrator to catch up. No for me it would be one or the other using audio for when I can’t read the real book.

      Oh yes! I have to speed them up if I’m reading along! The regular time is far too slow for me.

    Fun idea! I just can’t get into audios. I don’t focus well enough I guess. haha

      I struggle with that sometimes as well! I usually stick to listening to audio versions of stories I’ve already read. 🙂

    I don’t read along to audiobooks, but I can see that being very immersive too! What I do love is switching back and forth between print and audio if I have both formats, I get through books so quickly!

    I only just started reading audiobooks at the end of last year and it is making me so happy! I can’t wait to read more of them and happy you enjoy them too x
