Top Ten Tuesday; Audio Books I Would Probably Listen To If I Was Into Audio Books

(This post contains affiliate links.)

As it is Tueday again, I think it's time for a new Top Ten Tuesday post, courtesy of That Artsy Reader Girl. The theme of the week was a freebie related to audio books, so I decided to go with audio books I would probably listen to if I was into audio books.

I have nothing against audio books, but as I'm such a fast paced reader, I often feel that the narrator(s) are often too slow paced for my taste. I might add that I do see that audio books does has benefits, like for people with dyslexia or are blind, which means they are still able to enjoy the story without needing to actually read. The relationship between audio books and me, the cliché of "it's not you, it's me" is actually true.

My picks are;


The Complete Lord of the Rings Trilogy by J. R. R. Tolkien

The Dickens Collection

Spine Chillers by M. R. James

      I have a suspicion that some of them are pretty long. :-)

    The Lord of the Rings trilogy would be a pretty exciting thing to listen to in audiobook form.

    My Top Ten Tuesday post.

    I doubt audiobooks will ever become my main way of reading (assuming I don't become blind or something like that) but it's a good way to get more books read. At least for me.

    Some of these would take a long time to listen to!

      It's fair to say that there's a reason why I titled this post the way I did.

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

I read the horror novel The Prettiest Girl in the Grave by Kristopher Triana earlier this year and today I'll post my review of the book.
