Since you like to hang out at Toteblogs I already know two
things about you. First, you like to read. And second, you read fiction,
including romance and women’s fiction. (For the record, so do I. I also like to
write aforementioned books.) Today, with your indulgence, I’d like to find out
a little more about you. Like, do you also enjoy listening to recorded stories?
And if so, how much?
This isn’t just idle curiosity on my part. On April 7 my 5
book series, the Carrigans of the Circle C is going to be available on Audible.
(In fact, you can preorder now.) I’m pretty excited about this, but it’s also a
sign of the times, isn’t it?

I started to do the quiz, but since I don't listen to audio books and never have. I can't answer by the letters offered. I have no idea how to go about listening to a book or even what you would listen to it on. I would assume and ipod, which I don't have,
I have trouble listening, I need to see not hear. So I'm not an audio book person. Sorry.
1. d
other than my kindle, I don't have a device on which it is convenient to listen to audiobooks, therefore, I don't buy them. I have been gifted a few by authors via Audible. I noticed I can read the text of the book through the audible gift.

C but I do get extra credits or audiobooks too
ABCD but mainly while I am knitting
B ;)
I have the audible app on my phone so I always have them around like while I am waiting around for the kids at sports training. I quite often get the audio books for ebooks I have already read and 're-read' them that way. Also great for during ironing.
1A, 2A (and I sometimes download audiobooks from my local library; download everything to my Sansa Clip. Love that little bugger!), 3A, 4C (although I'm lucky enough to have a job where I can also listen at work, which helps block distractions from nearby cubicles!), 5A.
1) D- I recently won an audiobook. I haven't listened to it yet. I'm just trying out this new way of hearing books
2) C- I do have an IPod classic. I do have a book on CD's too. I haven't heard any books yet. I hope to try it out soon.
I'm always willing to try something new. I'll have to let you know how it goes.

3) B - I'm just trying this new way out before I invest a lot of money.
4) A- I want to use it while I commute to work. I don't know how distracting it will be or how much I will retain. I also want to use it while I do chores around the house.
5)- A I don't mind taking short quizzes which help authors.
Thanks to everyone for your feedback. I really appreciate it! Denise, that's interesting that you can also "read" an audiobook.
Laurie G, you are the winner of the 3 month Audible trial! I will send that to you today. I hope everyone else has been able to enjoy my free novel "A Daughter's Place!"
Have a great weekend!
CJ
