rosegarden Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 Most of the books I complete are Audiobooks which I've been listening to for several years now. I like to listen to them when I'm doing jobs around the house that I find boring eg. washing up, ironing, cleaning windows etc. I've also downloaded quite a few to my ipod and listen to them while out walking or on holiday when I'm lazing on a sunbed. I also read a few books as well which I'll mark with *BOOK*. BOOKS COMPLETED 2008 1. Philip Pullman - Northern Lights 7/10 2. Kate Morton - The House at Riverton 10/10 *BOOK* 3.

The Library Nook Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 I am about to embark on using audiobooks so its good to see that you use them a lot. I am worried that my mind will wander when I am listening! Quote
rosegarden Posted January 6, 2008 Author Posted January 6, 2008 Yes I must admit that my mind does wander sometimes when I'm in the middle of a book but it's usually only because the story's dragging a bit - I don't find it a major problem. Most of the books I've listened to do seem to keep my attention though Carole Quote
Louiseog Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 I listen to loads but don't include them here not sure why, love it when ironing and driving. Quote

anna60 Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 Please, I'm new to this forum and wonder where you down load books from. I love to listen while in the car but find i-tunes rather expensive for books. Is there a sharing bookclub like e-Mule? Quote
Kylie Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 Hi Anna! We have a couple of threads with recommendations for good sites for downloading audiobooks. Try Here and here. Quote

Hi I tend to borrow a lot of my audiobooks from the library ~ download them to my laptop ~ put them into itunes ~ then onto my ipod. I hope that helps Carole Quote
