I&#39;m surprised they were available being that it&#39;s such a popular series. I love audio books, but I haven&#39;t had the chance to listen to many since Bram was born unless we go on a road trip.Cherylhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05930832509544868744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2016790922270318352.post-49170813194263732352009-10-30T10:17:05.041-04:002009-10-30T10:17:05.041-04:00I. hate. audio. books.<br /><br />Just sayin&#39; :-P<br /><br /><br />However, having a blind child means that we have lots of KIDS stories on cds (and on the computer) ~ Christopher loves listening to stories that way. :-)<br /><br />You&#39;ll just never catch *me* doing it!Molytailhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10990389309037847365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2016790922270318352.post-90459834671100163762009-10-28T23:05:16.692-04:002009-10-28T23:05:16.692-04:00I have a terrible time listening to audiobooks - like you, I get impatient because the reader is too slow. My daughter really loves them, though. She likes to get audio copies of her favorite books so she can read the book during the day and listen to it as she falls asleep at night.Vanessahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07023601396140884557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2016790922270318352.post-90827260657731693412009-10-28T22:05:26.102-04:002009-10-28T22:05:26.102-04:00Ok, I have a Twilight obsession too. So nice to hear another (normal?) homeschool mom admit it.<br /><br />I normally don&#39;t like audiobooks for myself. I love them for my kids- makes long car trips much more enjoyable. I&#39;ll have to try the Twilight books on audio though, cause as much as I read them, I&#39;m gonna wear mine out!Leah Chttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10812333478201076333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2016790922270318352.post-25208024492478182322009-10-28T09:23:09.055-04:002009-10-28T09:23:09.055-04:00@ Veronica - It&#39;s one of three things:<br /><br />1) I am obsessed to the point of needing an intervention.<br /><br />2) I&#39;m just that talented.<br /><br />3) The Twilight books are the only ones I&#39;ve willingly listened to on audio book so far.<br /><br />@ Jolanthe -- They&#39;re read by Ilyana Kadushin, who has done narration for Nickelodeon and Animal Planet (according to the audio book cover). <br /><br />I still very much prefer to read on my own because she still reads too slow for me, I don&#39;t get as good a mental picture of what&#39;s going on when I&#39;m listening as I do when I&#39;m reading, and (this may sound weird) the dialogue doesn&#39;t sound the same as it does in my head. However, if I&#39;m doing something else, like sketching or cooking dinner, I have really enjoyed being able to listen to the audio books.Weird Unsocialized Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15948350029651674295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2016790922270318352.post-24678668702178240352009-10-28T09:22:10.021-04:002009-10-28T09:22:10.021-04:00While I&#39;m not much of a reader of &quot;fun&quot; books, my kids are. We&#39;ve listened to &quot;Hank the Cowdog&quot; many times. The books aren&#39;t the same. The author does all the voices, and they are HILARIOUS!!!! I highly recommend them.Scrapingirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08280261043942452491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2016790922270318352.post-74994033618424645112009-10-28T08:57:21.048-04:002009-10-28T08:57:21.048-04:00who are the books read by? and do you like them?? ;)Jolanthehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00887081852111099540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2016790922270318352.post-87695620612406877522009-10-28T01:44:35.224-04:002009-10-28T01:44:35.224-04:00OK, how did you manage to mention &quot;Twilight&quot; in an audiobook post?
