Or did you have that already? I'm so bad at details. <br /><br />Anywho, I used to feel just the same way about audio books, and I have had some that just did not work I'll admit. It's totally a trial and error thing. But once I've found great narrators, it changes everything! Love them! And in fact I'm dying to listen almost as much as read in a lot of cases. :o)<br /><br />Good luck with Bloggiesta!

I love them. :) Thanks for sharing!Jen Vincenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18328314014130372377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28103773585105300.post-22988199520090641712011-01-22T13:50:03.176-05:002011-01-22T13:50:03.176-05:00I don't think there are any rules about who to...I don't think there are any rules about who to follow. For me, if someone tells me they are a new follower to my blog, I will follow theirs - even if I don't find anything in common. But, that's just me.<br /><br />Have a great weekend!Yvonnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13261873308731564886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28103773585105300.post-5439303103692162042011-01-22T13:22:54.259-05:002011-01-22T13:22:54.259-05:00I love audio books now.

Usually I listen while I am at work entering mundane, thoughtless work or while I am crocheting. Sometimes driving. Once you find your (no word comes to mind so I will make one up :)schlumooze, they are really great.

Still, I'd rather hold a book in my hand & read the words off the pages. As for following, the way I see it, you can visit blogs of people who comment on yours and/or follow you, but following back is not mandatory. I only follow blogs where I've read or want to read books that they have. Otherwise, why bother? Just an opinion :)Teacher/Learnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13280690822570558469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28103773585105300.post-80056570158675952822011-01-22T12:16:23.565-05:002011-01-22T12:16:23.565-05:00I listen to audio books that are books, with ma...I listen to audio books that are books, with many pages, and the print is fine or small, my eyes are not what they use to be. Examples: Home by Julie Andrews, and Marley and Me, I just couldn't deal with the fine print. However, I prefer reading a book. <br /><br />The follower thingy has always confused me a bit. When I first started using it, mostly the only followers I had were the ones who visited me regularly, and I visited them regularly. But as time has gone by, I notice everyone becomes a follower, whether they ever visit again or not. However, sometimes they expect you to visit them each time they post and leave them a comment. Some even offer prizes. However, to have a chance to win the prize you have to become a follower. I usually pass those by. Sometimes, I do become a follower, but if they never visit me or leave a comment, I remove myself from their blog follower thingy. I think you may already know, The follower thingy is a pet peeve of mine. ; ) But, I have it up anyway...

It helps with getting the hang of listening and following along. Hope you are able to give it a try!<br /><br />I don't feel guilt to follow back. I do visit every new follower and comment on their blogs and many times I do follow back because of similar interests, and connecting with their styles/personalities.<br /><br />I have planned to back up my blog as well this weekend.Nise' https://www.blogger.com/profile/15586400022454009379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28103773585105300.post-38097368068178414552011-01-22T10:23:20.650-05:002011-01-22T10:23:20.650-05:00Hi, I like some of your Saturday Stuff...I plan to...Hi, I like some of your Saturday Stuff...I plan to explore some of these at some point.<br /><br />As for audio books: not a fan.
