However, I don't have that problem with audiobooks! I'd definitely recommend starting with one that you are dying to read, which makes it very easy to get sucked in.<br /><br />I've found that traditional books that are difficult to read, for me, are much easier to read in audio format. For example, it would take me forever to get through lengthy tomes like Outlander or A Prayer for Owen Meany as I have less sit-down time than listening while multi-tasking!<br /><br />Thanks for leaving the link to your book choices! I'm popping over to check them out!Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10222625207655829945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-136900539811696458.post-57479966724282975522013-02-20T10:08:39.330-06:002013-02-20T10:08:39.330-06:00No problem, Christine.

Hard as I try my irksome right brain travels off and I'm constantly having to rewind. <br /><br />I love your list. It's great that we all express such a variety in our choices. Looking forward to your reviews. <br /><a href="http://www.downthewriterspath.com/2013/02/have-you-any-banned-books-on-your-shelf-today/" rel="nofollow">My banned book choices</a>vikk simmonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11403016433753838714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-136900539811696458.post-79978014206357873672013-02-16T20:05:13.443-06:002013-02-16T20:05:13.443-06:00Hi Darlene!

I'm very new at hosting challenges and when I chose the image for this challenge button I chose one in the public domain, but inadvertently neglected to provide credit for the image. My new "grab this code" includes it, but I wanted to also provide the credit line to all the challenge participants who have already posted the button as well. <br /><br />photo credit: <a href="http://www.publicdomainpictures.net/view-image.php?image=19743&picture=love-of-books" rel="nofollow">Love Of Books</a> by George Hodan<br /><br />Sorry about that & I hope you're enjoying your reading selections!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03215797870829907924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-136900539811696458.post-86157941188535676642013-01-10T11:24:07.530-06:002013-01-10T11:24:07.530-06:00I agree, Kimba!
