I love to listen to audio books while I walk. It makes the walk more fun and not seem so much like exercise. I like Nora Roberts, Nicholas Sparks, James Patterson, Tracie Peterson, Terri Blackstock, just to name a few. I also have audio books on CD in my car all the time.

I just listened to Undead and Unwed on a Playaway and found myself laughing outloud at work. I love how it made my day go by so fast. I look forward to listening to Nora Roberts and Nicholas Sparks at work and at home.

I love being read to. I grew up on radio's Let's Pretend, and all the great radio comedy, adventure and mystery shows before television. Both at home and at school I was also read to. I enjoy reading books. I love audiobooks, especially all of James Lee Burke's murder mysteries, especially his latest - Swan Peaks.

The Pendragon series is very good. PlayAways are great while running, as long as you have good earbuds.

I just did a 40 hour train trip to the state of Washington and used PlayAways. They were great !!! I could cross-stitch and listen at the same time. So much easier than a CD/tape audiobook and faster than a download. Hope KDL gets many more.

I have only listened to one PlayAway so far.
Though I have been telling everyone how wonderful
I think they are. So easy to carry with you while
you do numerous chores. Operation is simple as well.
Love them & look forward to reading more.
Thank you KDL for making reading & listening such
a pleasant experience..

I have only listened to the Bible on CD myself. But my husband’s job changed recently and he is now driving a truck from 3 p.m.-3 a.m. We have had several discussions about getting him audio books to listen to while driving. We even went to a bookstore and looked at a few but couldn’t validate the cost. I don’t know why I never thought of the library. I will definitely be showing my husband this link and encouraging him to search for some great audio books. Thanks KDL for promoting them and providing a service to get them.

I am constantly listening to at least one or two audiobooks at a time. I love the resource netlibrary.com, where I can listen to them on my computer. I listen to one in my cassette player while I am driving to and from work, doing errands, etc. I don’t know what I would do without audiobooks..they are a nice break from reading all the time! Plus, another person reading the book aloud gives me a different perspective of the book that I may not have by simply reading it.

Only on a KDL blog would I be able to make a ‘must read’ or rather ‘must listen to’ library list! What a lot of great suggestions. I hope to leave the blog and start searching straight away! Thank you everyone for taking the time for sharing. I’m looking forward to using the playaway.
What a long way we’ve come since the days I would borrow the 8mm reel to reels from the library!

I love to sew, but after working out the design and cutting bits, I get very antsy if there is nothing else to do but run the machine. So I listen to audio books. I must have done thousands over the last ten years or so. My all time favorite is Thief of Time by Terry Pratchett. Much, much better in listening form than just reading it. All of his other stuff is great too. We always take audio books in the car on long trips, and everybody survives better. Haven’t tried the Playaways, yet. That’s the next adventure.
