As you continue to sample audiobooks, you'll begin to collect a list of favorite narrators that never disappoint. You can link a review to Devourer of Books Sound Bytes feature any Friday. That can also include reviews posted earlier in the week. It's my understanding that she will post a review link-up every day during Audiobook Week, but there is no obligation for participants to post a review daily. It's mainly to find other listener's reviews and to be entered in daily prize drawings. Can't wait to hear what you've been listening to!JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-25611342993379984092012-06-17T00:01:03.851-04:002012-06-17T00:01:03.851-04:00I'm glad to hear June is Audiobooks Month.

I think it takes getting used to... a good reader with a good voice sure can lead to more enjoyment, but if not I could easily be turned off. So it really depends on the voice, I think. Now, I'm thinking of reviewing two audiobooks. If I do, is there any place I could link my review post to for this Audiobook month event? (I know Devourer of Books wants a daily review, which I don't think I'll have time for.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-82881796225843630852012-06-14T20:56:51.386-04:002012-06-14T20:56:51.386-04:00Vasilly - Give the audio version some thought... t...Vasilly - Give the audio version some thought... the author's voice took a little while to get used to, but it added SO much to the overall experience.

I love a good memoir...makes it fun to Google things and look at pictures of real people, which lights my brain on fire. I'm always impressed, too, when the author can narrate and pull it off.Sandy Nawrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564390728106776030noreply@blogger.com
