When I review a book, I like to include some favorite quotes in my review and it's certainly very helpful (and more accurate) to pull the quotes from a print or ebook copy. I don't think I've every listened to a book that I'd already read. I'll have to consider it!lindalouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05754030749124405147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271446653985249536.post-53719191713694719362016-10-15T04:55:27.687-05:002016-10-15T04:55:27.687-05:00I guess I prefer to listen to a book first and rer...I guess I prefer to listen to a book first and reread it after that. If narration was good, I continue to hear voices from the audiobook while reading it. Several times when I tried to do it other way (read first and listen to the audiobook after) I enjoyed it less. Mostly it was because I imagined characters’ voices while reading, and obviously they were not the same in the audiobook. It’s the same for me with movie adaptations. I usually read book before going to the movie. But I can see how your “method” works for you. What can I say, if that works for you, do it your way.<br /><br />Your second point is not actually an issue for me. I don’t read ARCs and I don’t actually have any reading issue. I just grab a book depending on my current mood. So I have no problem throwing my TBR aside. Also I prefer to binge read series. It never crossed my mind to try to listen to the first book while I read the sequel. I’m not sure this is my thing, but I agree in this case you can pick up little hints.<br /><br />Blonde Date is the only book from The Ivy Years that I haven’t read. I’ll look for audio since you listened it several times.<br /><br />Lovely post, Mary. It was really interesting to read about your quirks and find a couple of recommendations along the way.<br /><br />PS. I’ve listened to the audiobook The Boy Most Likely To, and it’s amazing. Highly recommended.<br />Kseniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05362452522963234123noreply@blogger.com
