In terms of reading trends, Audiobooks have become a real crowd pleaser and are very popular on social media. I've created a list of my opinions on books I have read... or listened too.
1. In my above introduction, I've already told you one of my issues. Do you read or listen to an audiobook. Over social media, A lot of people will talk about audiobooks and say "This month I read blah blah etc. " But did you really read it? Yes, you are consuming words that make a story but you are literally listening to someone speak through your earphones. This to me is an issue!
2. It's good for long journeys in which reading may make you feel sick and cause migraines. A problem for me is I cannot read in moving transport such as Buses or Cars. This doesn't affect me on planes or trains. So being able to listen to a book on a 6-hour journey is a godsend!
3. My biggest issue is that it is literally just a voice in your ears. I found it quite uncomfortable in scenes of a book which were meant to give fear as you didn't know if the character would survive.
I think they need some music in the background like a wee melody to keep you going.
4. It's efficient and arguably takes a shorter period of time than actually reading the book.
5. Audiobooks are actually quite expensive and I'd rather just buy the book for a similar price?!?
6. I definitely prefer a physical copy of a book and that's my opinion.
If anyone is reading, please write your opinions in the comments!
