Welcome to Litsy!

For you audiobook experts, I like to collect quotes as I‘m reading. But pausing the audiobook and trying to capture the quote is so hard. Any great ideas to make that easier?

I took the plunge and signed up for premium on Audible. I get TWO month free!

Now I‘m not sure which audiobook to get with my monthly credit.

Any suggestions?

Audible is having a sale and I may have lost my mind and bought 31 books. 🫣🫣💸💸💸

In my defense most were from two authors that only have audiobooks on audible.

I prefer audio or print books, if I have to I will eread but it‘s my last choice. I use a lot of audio to do other things during my day. 🥰

I managed to do 60.4 hours of audiobook listening in October and I got a bingo too!
Thanks for hosting #LittenListen and #LittenListenBingo, @aperfectmjk.
This helped me earn lots of points for #Scarathlon2022.

I have a dilemma. I've been wanting to cancel my Audible subscription for a while now because obviously I'm not using it much but I don't want to lose my credits.

Anyone have some good #audiobook recommendations so I can get these used up?

The storygraph is rolling out audiobook tracking and holy sh!t I didn‘t realize it was that much!! 🤯🤯

Here‘s my review for another book I listened to. I drew a White color card from The Secret Language Of Color cards and I chose a book with a White cover to match the card. I‘m also counting this book for 1 reading challenge. This book has a piece of fruit on it.

My husband and I are going to Utah next week to meet our new niece! My sister in law gave birth to a beautiful baby girl named Penelope earlier in the month.

We are driving there so I am asking if anyone has any good audiobooks to recommend for the car drive?

I would greatly appreciate any recommendations. 😀

It's hard to see because I messed up my math but between books read, lots of games and an #audiobingo I pulled in a total of 752 points this week.

Looking forward to finishing the month strong 💪

#LittenListen @aperfectmjk

I did some series reading last week and finished 7 books! Still no bingo but I knocked off some #JuneHolidayTheme prompts.

With the additional points for the emoji game, I logged a total of 466pts 😊

Hoping to keep the momentum up this week coming!

#LittenListen @aperfectmjk

New month, new bingo card!
A bit different this month as it‘s all audiobooks for #LittenListen #Audioathon hosted by @aperfectmjk .

I‘ve already filled one Free space, but I‘ll have to post about it later.

(My actual #bookspin and #doublespin will be from my kindle list that I posted first @TheAromaofBooks )

More TBR fun, here are my #AudioJune books.

@aperfectmjk is hosting an audiothon in June! Check out her post for the details and sign-up link.

As you are making your TBR list for June, don‘t forget to include audiobooks! Join us for #AUDIOJUNE and tag me so we can share what we are reading!

My hubby gave me a very early birthday present of these precious little wireless earbuds and let me tell ya folks - my audiobook game is forever changed. 😍😍

i love this recap... #readingisfundamental #readinggoal #audiophile

…I‘ve also made a second list for #bookspinbingo audio edition! As you can see, I‘ve already made some changes. 😂 My holds list showed some unexpected movement, so I had to respond to it!

HUBS AND I BOUGHT A HOUSE! *cue frantic packing, phone calls, and trips to Goodwill*
If anyone has any good audiobook recommendations for said hours of packing and sorting, drop them below! It‘s going to be a crazy month 😂

On #netgalley from next week! 📚 📖

While I‘m waiting for some audiobook holds from the library (and for my hoopla credits to refresh) I finally got around to using some of my outstanding audible credits... and during a 2 for 1 sale! I‘ve got some great books to look forward to 🥰 #audiobooks

I've never thought one was better than the other, but I have always assumed they affected the brain differently. Very interesting.

Audiobooks are a great go to when stuck in social situations. 😉

Today on the blog we're welcoming everyone back to another #thursdayteatime where we're discussing whether audiobooks count as reading.

This is the only way I could make it fit😂 True story though. When the HP movies came out I learned I‘d be pronouncing Dursley wrong for years!

Some interesting stats! My days off are normally Sunday/Monday, and Monday is the day that I usually do all my errands and running around, so this totally makes sense since I often listen to audiobooks while I am out and about. #audiblestats

This was the year I finally fully embraced audiobooks, and I‘ve really enjoyed supplementing my physical and digital reading with audio. Audiobooks have made long road trips, airplane flights, and just running around doing errands so much more pleasant! #audiblestats

One of my Christmas gifts was an awesome pair of wireless headphones, so I am ready to up my audiobook game. 😊 I would love some recommendations of books that I should definitely consume via audiobook. And GO!

My library recently began offering audiobooks thru rb digital. I‘m thrilled to have even more audiobook options—I‘m just confused as to why they now utilize three platforms. Libby/overdrive, hoopla, and now rb digital. Anyone able to answer that question? Librarians?

NetGalley is now offering Audio Excerpts for review with full length audiobook ARCs coming in 2020. 🤯

HALP! I‘m looking for an audiobook to distract me from the misery of working out. Good narrator is a must (I love Cassandra Campbell, for example). Recent books I loved (though not on audio): The Great Alone, Little Darlings, A Place for Us, The Indifferent Stars Above, and The Girl Who Played With Fire (though I hated this narrator). Any suggestions?

If you love audiobooks and are looking for a way to expand your listening, AND would love to see your money go to a local bookstore, look no further! I‘ve been using Libro.fm for over a year and I love it. Now is a great time to join, as you get 3 audiobooks for the price of one AND a free copy of Madeline Miller‘s Circe. Just use this link:

http://libro.fm/referral?rf_code=lfm67122

And I‘ll get a free book, too! ☺️

SUPER fascinating article about #audiobook recording and narration. It's not all doom and gloom as the title suggests. They also talk about why Judi Dench has a hard time trying to narrate #audiobooks compared to her daughter 🤣

In an audiobook slump- send help and recs!

I'm now spending a lot of time commuting, so I'm going to give audiobooks another try. I'm not great at taking in info by listening, but I found out the Mercy Thompson series by Briggs is mostly available to me on Overdrive, and I've been wanting to reread those. I'm hoping I'll have more success listening to books this time.

75% of the books I‘ve read this year have been via #audiobook, so it comes as no surprise to me that most of my “Books” apps are audio-oriented. 🤷🏼‍♀️ (Plus, I have multiple library cards and Kindle Unlimited to make sure I have plenty of options.) #24in48

Good morning, Littens!

I need your help. I have no idea what I‘m in the mood to listen to, but I need a new audiobook. I‘d love your suggestions. 🙏🏻

So one of my coworkers is on medical leave for 6 weeks and I‘m taking a lot of projects which means overtime! Hit me with your all time favorite audiobooks!

Has anyone else been having issues with #Libby? I know this could be related to my specific library, but a couple of my holds have been deleted with no notice. I thought maybe a new ISBN for the title had been added, but it is strange that it's happened twice now.

Insomnia again this week. Tonight I used my time to sign up for Libro.fm. I already have a long wishlist, so it seems like a good choice at 3 am. We‘ll see what I think in the morning.

Has anyone tried Chirp?

#TBRTuesday

Hit the Mother Lode on my Library‘s OverDrive audiobooks today. But that‘s a LOT of hours of listening in the next 21 days!!! 😜

My favorite email notification! I didn‘t see it this morning but now I‘m excited for my walk later today for #BookFitnessChallenge #BFC 😁

I saw this advertised on IG today but am finding it difficult to get info on the service without signing up (potential red flag) Do any of you use this service? Could you tell me about it? Cost? Variety? Ease of use?

I bought myself a new puzzle to work while listening to my audio books. I find I can't just listen, I have to be doing something. I hope to start it this evening.
