My Favourite... Audiobook

(This post contains affiliate links.)

It's Wednesday, which means it's time for a new My Favourite... post thanks to Maureen's Books and the theme of the week was favourite audiobook.


I must admit that as I'm a quick reader, I've struggled a bit with the (slower) pace of audiobooks and therefore hasn't gotten that much into them, but one audiobook that I've managed to get through and actually like was the BBC full cast dramatisation of Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman and some of the people in this dramatisation includes Benedict Cumberbatch, Natalie Dormer and Christopher Lee.

    I don't tend to enjoy full cast narrations as much as a single narrator, but with a cast that good, I might have to make an exception.

      I usually don't like audio books AT ALL, so for me, Neverwhere is really an exception.

    I have to really focus when listening to audiobooks. It's so easy for me to tune out. I think I've only had single narrators and once dual narrators, not a full cast.

      I'm one of those tuning out as well, which is part of the reason why I have issues with audiobooks. I almost envy those who actually manage to pay attention.

    I haven't listened to that one. But I do get what your saying about the pace. I've listened to a view audiobooks in this last year, but somehow I still can't really seem to love it as much as I would have liked.
    Thanks for signing up and sharing your favorite.

Announcing the 2022 Diversity Reading Challenge

Image
As we're writing 2022 in two months, I figured out it was time to announce the 2022 Diversity Challenge. I've hosted it in 2019 and 2021, and decided to host it next year too. I’m not going to make any categories or levels for this challenge, as I want it to be a bit flexible. Read as many books as you feel like reading and yes, it can be children’s books, graphic novels, e-books, non-fiction, audio books, poetry and you-name-it. As it is a diversity reading challenge, it would be mean to exclude some types of reading materials, right? Now, what is diversity you might ask? What I mean by diversity is, but not limited to; People of colour/non-caucasian characters/authors Native Americans and other indigenous people LGBTQIA+ Authors/characters defining themselves as trans, intersex, genderfluid or similar Refugees Religious minorities Mental illnesses/disorders Neurodiversity (like ADD, Aspergers and autism) Feminist themes/issues Physical/mental disabilities Characters/authors w...
