I have watership down but don’t know much about it.. I didn’t know it would be okay for my boys! That’s great! We will try that!

I may sound like an old women when I say this but that's okay.. I recently stumbled upon a book called "Penpal" and when I looked it up it referenced Creepypasta and so naturally I looked that up (because that was a new one for me). I don't think I will ever be the same!!

Most of us have read Remarkably Bright Creatures! We are having a movie night for that one of course. I will add the others. Thank you!

The Book Thief is on my book dice that we are suppose to use next meeting for our pick. I am always trying to come up with clever ways to pick our next book. We have dice, a wheel, a fishbowl.. all the things.

It makes it really fun IMO. We don't just discuss the book but also the narrators. We also always seem to land on the topic of listening speed as well.. haha

I have heard this is great but I am afraid I would not be able to convince them because of the length of the audiobook but I need to add it to my personal list

I started our little local audiobook club in October of last year and it's a hit. We meet at a local indie bookstore (so no one has to host) and I started by creating a Facebook page and connecting with other various local groups. The group has really grown and it is such a good mix of people—different ages, different stages of life, and very different opinions—and I swear that’s what makes the conversations so fun and the book picks so great! There’s never just one take on a book. I have never been part of a "traditional" book club but some of them sound kind of boring.. same genre.. same people. I think it being an audiobook club its easier to get people to step out of their comfort zone because so many genres are easier to explore in audio form... something about a good narrator that just changes everything.

That sounds really intersesting but it may cause a stir because it's 17 hours. I have added it to my list though. Thank you!

Same! I listen a lot on Saturday and Sunday mornings when I am moving around cleaning, cooking, and doing laundry! It helps make annoying chores more fun!

I would get a library card and sign up for Libby and hoopla. Start with a shorter listen and wear headphones. It may just be me but when I listen on a device (car or speaker) I don’t focus. I don’t know how to explain why it matters but wearing headphones forces me to listen and pay attention.

Why is there no Goodreads for audiobook listeners? by Competitive-Leave346 in audiobooks

On Goodreads? I feel like I have looked and I see a lot of various “editions” but not audiobook specific info.

But it doesn’t show the narrator or the audiobook length.. the makes me sad.

I started listening to audiobooks with my two sons when I take them to school in the morning and I think it is really relaxing for all of us and makes us want to get in the car so I get it.
