Tackling another reading challenge prompt - Audiobook version

[elusivek]

After I made up that Reading Challenge list, only now I'm starting to sift through what books I actually have, and what not. I'm certainly surprised that I actually have Orphan Train already, however, but in an audiobook format.

I like listening to Podcasts, but I don't know, when it's Audiobook, it's just.... strange to me. I can't focus on listening to the story, and when I've suddenly zoomed back to listening, it's past a couple pages, and i'm at a loss of what happened. The other thing is, there is no real commute for me, so I don't have an hour of train or bus ride... I only have a 15-minute walk and half the time I need to focus on the street because of traffic, and the less dangerous of, bumping into people you know then they want to small talk and catch up. I am so not a people person LOL.

I've also sorted out my next book in my kindle. I'll admit I scoured for a PDF version. I'm also on the LJ group elibrarians but I haven't gone about to hunt there. Besides, on an iPhone/iPad, those download links are a bit iffy.

I've been tagged as having way too much time off so I'm to unload it... I'll be taking the next 4 Fridays off. Already have plans for this week - going to the movies with a friend, going to watch an "early session" of a... is that a horror movie? I guess that's the safest time to watch a horror movie LOL. 11:30am movie, then a late lunch. Hope it's gonna be fun.

Oh I just commented on your other post about the book, but I feel the same way with audio books. My mind just wanders. I need the physical activity of... eyes moving across the page? Fingers flipping pages or tapping the screen to actually be engaged in the book? Meanwhile, I can fall asleep to podcasts and remember everything, no problem lol.
