I know, I know. I’m extremely late to the crazy, but that’s because I always thought audiobooks were a little too costly. As an avid reader, buying book after book isn’t affordable. Some are twenty bucks a pop! And when I’m consumed with a series? Please. I am not waiting to go to the library for the book. The fastest, and most affordable way, is to find the book through other means… Of course, I would never pirate a book. But if I did, I will always make sure to leave a review on my goodreads account.
But when it comes to being on a plane or suffering through a long car ride, books just can’t help with the boredom. But audiobooks can!
As I was traveling all through Europe this last semester, thanks abroad, I consumed audiobooks. But again, price wasn’t on my side. If I was going on a plane, I had to download the audiobook. But luckily apple books has a section for books under 5 dollars. So the dent in my bank account wasn’t too severe.
And when I was taking a bus or train, it was audiobooks via youtube. Thank goodness for wifi. But if you have no idea what book to listen to, youtube can be a little daunting. I look at some of the more popular books on my TBR (goodreads for the win) and try searching. The book has to have been released for a couple months already and has to have a decent following already or your chances of finding an audiobook on youtube is zilch.
Recently I started listening to Heartless Hunter. This is great for when I am walking to class or have a throbbing headache and can’t stand the light. It also makes chores far more enjoyable. And it’s an easier way to achieve that 52 book goal I recently set on Goodreads. Wish me luck!
