Mostly walking outside or while doing various chores around the house. Oh and also cooking. Basically unless I'm sitting or interacting to someone I'm listening to an audiobook. 🀣

Do you prefer fiction or nonfiction or it just kinda varies per the mood? I like nonfiction for mindless tasks so I can feel like I'm doing something productive by learning something

Only fiction. I get enough non-fiction by living. And my IT specilization doesn't really translate into audio learning. I use different mediums for non-fiction like blogs/research papers/seminars/conferences/etc..

I love exploring new worlds and interesting characters be it fantasy/sci-fi or just general fiction. Also prefer series over standalone books.

Lie in bed and listen for about 30-45 minutes before I go to sleep.

Usually driving. Best place to listen without any other distractions

Besides the advent of the world wide web, I've always supposed the proliferation of audiobooks and podcasts has had a fundamental link with the proliferation of traffic jams.

I mostly listen to them when I need to go for a walk, when I'm pushing my toddler on the swing, shopping or cleaning around the house.

Cooking, washing dishes, walking to or riding the subway.

Driving mostly, recently playing vampire survivors and listening. I’m about half way through the last in the Beartown trilogy, have you listened to anything good lately?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I freaking loved the bear town trilogy

I’ve mainly been listening to the Percy Jackson series lmaoooo

Nice, I should give those a listen sometime! I remember really liking the first book

It's my comfort book series, I'm mainly re-listening right now in preparation for the upcoming disney plus series which I am so freaking excited for. The author has so many freaking books though. My dude WRITES and has a whole freaking Gods of (insert mythology here) universe he's created. I just know the mouse is looking at that source material they can adapt from and crying quarters

Haven’t they tried a series before? I remember fans being unhappy about that, I hope this one is good!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, the original movie was terrible and such a disappointment

I've never been much of an audiobook listener. However, the few ones I've listened to I've enjoyed very much. Excellent narration, excellent voice acting. I used to play them while cooking, and then while eating what I had just cooked. Then if I was drinking wine with the food, the experience continued, extending into the horizons of my imagination.
