Audiobooks are a godsend for many people with disabilities including people with poor vision, those who are dyslexic and people who have trouble holding books. Because of arthritis in my fingers I cannot hold books for more than about 15 to 30 minutes. When talking about a book I have read I often cannot remember if I read it as physical book, an eBook or an audiobook. I only remember the story. For people who say that audiobooks is not reading - that is a problem with English for not having a suitable word that covers all formats at once.
❤audio is the way to go for me - just can’t seem to sit and read a book - audio I can listen to while I’m knitting or maybe the tv is on but not listening / watching Just read - audio Mad Honey Jodi Picoult & Finney Boylan 👍👍❤️
Having someone else read a book to you is them painting their imagination in your head and you Physically reading a book is painting your own imagination. Whichever works better for preference ig.
Cold-reading as a narrator is... 😬 How can you tell a story you don't know? There's so much nuance you miss. Narrating is not just about creating good character voices or getting through the paragraphs without stumbling. For example, if you're narrating a mystery with a few red herrings, you have to decide how much to emphasize those details in accordance with how the story ends, or else they can get lost in the narration and the listener won't pick up on them, and instead of blaming the narrator, they'll blame the author.
