There are definitely pros and cons to audiobooks, one of which is that I keep falling asleep when listening to audiobooks, but at least I'm making more progress than with physical books...reading slumps (and really time crunches) are difficult.Michelle R.http://playingjokers.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7611036570698926101.post-66534733884020277502015-04-14T06:48:41.607-05:002015-04-14T06:48:41.607-05:00Most of the publishers send out monthly emails wit...Most of the publishers send out monthly emails with a list of audios available for review.

I don't have an Audible subscription as of yet because with Netflix, HuluPlus, Amazon Prime, etc...I just didn't want to add another month subscription on top of that.

But kudos on getting so much of your reading done through audiobooks. That's great.<br /><br /><br />I don't title my reviews as audio book reviews, but I always try to mention it and review the narration as well within the review itself.<br /><br />Do you just contact the audio publishers for specific books or do they have a catalog of upcoming releases available for review somewhere? I'm unfamiliar with actually reviewing audiobooks for publishers. I know they don't always release audiobooks at the same time as the book initially publishes. <br /><br />Thanks so much for your comments Jennifer!Sandy @ Somewhere Only We Knowhttp://sandyfarmer.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7611036570698926101.post-87661342889032971592015-04-13T20:13:07.883-05:002015-04-13T20:13:07.883-05:00I have Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock on audiobook.

And yes, I do include the fact that I listened to a book in a review, because it can definitely affect my enjoyment of the book one way or the other. BTW, if you like Nick Podehl, he does an excellent job narrating Patrick Rothfuss's The Name of the Wind and The Wise Man's Fear. They'd better get him for Doors of Stone whenever it comes out, or I won't be able to listen to it!Lark @ The Bookwyrm's Hoardhttp://bookwyrmshoard.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7611036570698926101.post-83123403611903919182015-04-12T10:22:36.660-05:002015-04-12T10:22:36.660-05:00I've only recently started listening to audiob...I've only recently started listening to audiobooks, something I swore I'd never be able to do. At this point, my listening time is limited to driving and household chores, but I hope that changes in the near future. Right now, most of my audiobooks come from Audible, either with credits or very, very good deals :)Reannahttp://phantasmicreads.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7611036570698926101.post-12625546945381712062015-04-12T09:57:46.432-05:002015-04-12T09:57:46.432-05:00About 85% of my reading is audiobooks.

Now that I'm no longer at that job my listening time will go down but I'm a total audio book junkie. A great narrator is key to enjoying audio books. <br /><br /><br />Yes when I review audio books I label them as audios and write about the narrator as well as the story in my reviews. I think when reviewing audiobooks the most important of the review is how you liked/disliked the narrator. If you're not going to "review" the narrator what's the point in calling it an audio book review. <br /><br /><br />Since I do review tons of audio books I've reached out to audio publishers for review request and now about 75% of my audio books come from publishers. You can save a ton on your book budget by reaching out and making contacts through the audio publishers.Jennifer @ The Book Nymphonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7611036570698926101.post-22136471894671855442015-04-11T21:13:47.827-05:002015-04-11T21:13:47.827-05:00I actually finished an audiobook today!

You can pick up audiobooks via paperbackswap - swap in your books for credits and use the credits to pick out audiobooks. Also, if you are willing to do a review, Audiobook Jukebox has so many audiobooks available for review in every genre.nrlymrtlhttp://DabofDarkness.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7611036570698926101.post-2675734986251453832015-04-10T18:41:58.954-05:002015-04-10T18:41:58.954-05:00I like audiobooks.

I also listened to the Selection series and quite a few classics. <br />I wouldn't want to just listen and not read as I love both. <br />I do remember listening to all the Harry Potter audiobooks with Jim Dale back when it was still cassette tapes. :-)Amanda Mariehttp://catholicamanda.comnoreply@blogger.com
