This week it's any type of audio, (audiobooks, music, podcasts.) Since I haven't listened to any audiobooks, yet, my list is going to focus more on music and podcasts. But there are certain genres that I an considering borrowing an audiobook for.
Audiobooks I'm considering borrowing from my library
Game of Thrones - This series is so massive, as is each book in the series, and I don't always know how to pronounce names in high fantasy books.
Lord of the Rings - I have tried and failed, to read this series three times. I am just not the biggest fan of Tolkiens' writing. He tends to over-describe things, in my opinion. But I do want to read the books because I love the movies so much, and I know that some things were lost to time and pacing. Tolkien has some of the best world building too.
Podcasts I Listen to
We Stayed Late - A group of friends and ex-coworkers from SourceFed (RIP). There isn't really a theme, they just get together when they have time and just talk about random BS.
David Tennant Does a Podcast With... - I don't really know what to say about this one. It's just great feeling like a fly on the wall while he chats with some fantastic actors.
Music I Listen to When I Read
And various other K-pop groups, this is just my latest obsession because those vocals are fantastic

Not exactly these Two Steps from Hell songs, but the band in general.
I can't manage to listen to music when I read. I get too involved in the music! :-) Fab list. My TTT
ReplyDeleteI'm the same way.
DeleteI really recommend the GOT audio-books. I listened to the last couple instead of heaving the book around and the narrator is incredible! You'd never think it was one person doing all the voices. 😊

I want to listen to the GOT audiobooks for the same reasons as you-I would never finish them in physical format, they're so big! I also really love David Tennant's new podcast :)

The My Imaginary Friends podcast does sound interesting!

Fantasy novels are definitely good audio choices. At least you'll know if you're pronouncing the characters names right! But on the downside, they can be loooong! I'm currently listening to Patrick Rothfuss' THE NAME OF THE WIND and it's like 27 freaking hours. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteThis is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
Oooo, great list!! I am an avid audiobook listener and almost enjoy listening to audiobooks more than reading books.

One of the advantages of listening to an audiobook is you know how to pronounce all the names :-). Even in non-fantasy books its easy not to pronounce some of the names correctly.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason I always listen to the Gatsby soundtrack when I read! Great list.
