Lockdown reading: Book two

in hive-174578 •  5 years ago 

I've been listening to Elizabeth Peters Crocodile on the Sandbank. Completely fictional, set in the late 1800s in Egypt. It's a mystery, the main character is female - the books are written as if from her journals - and have quite a bit of archeology and Egyptian history in them, as well as the war over there, and WW1 is mentioned in the later books. I've read them before :) I'm listening to them as I crochet - all the things lol. Grandkids need Easter stuff when we get out of lockdown

Listening, you say...How do you feel you absorb it by listening rather than reading? I'm a book guy myself, although I listen to podcasts now and then. I prefer to read books though, the feel of a book in my hands. I find I can concentrate more when I'm reading.

Audiobooks are very new for me. I completely get what you mean about preferring to read rather than listen. I need/want something to listen to when I crochet, I don't like tv, so books won.
I havnt noticed a difference in how I absorb the books at all. Apparently it doesnt matter if Im reading with my eyes or ears I still see the pictures in my head. Bonus I'm doing 2 things at once - and audiobooks help me focus on my crochet. Sounds counterintuitive but it's true :)
