  • The Weird Audiobooks

    What are some audiobooks that you DNF'd because something about it was strange or weird that pulled you out of the story?

    I was thinking of this last night because I was listening to Brimstone by Callie Hart and noticed that the male narrator was significantly louder than the female narrator. It was extremely jarring and difficult to listen to in my opinion.

    Another one Role Model by Rachel Reid, I didn't DNF this one but every time the narrator did a female voice I couldn't not hear Mrs Doubtfire and it really was difficult to push through. I've also heard the Game Changer audiobook Kip sounds like a 60 year old mob boss so that's a weird choice hahaha

    And maybe Fourth Wing where they had to re-record it and republish because it was quite clear the narrator had a cold during recording and everybody was too grossed out to listen to it 😂

  • Do you have books for different purposes?

    I used to be a “one book only” type of reader but within the last couple of years I’ve become someone who needs variety. I constantly have 5+ books in rotation.

    I have an audiobook that I listen to when I’m casually doing things around the house. I have a manga/graphic novel I read in the morning, like an old man who reads his daily newspaper 😅 I have my “big” book that i like taking my time with so I only read a chapter or 2 per session. Right now it’s The Lord of the Rings, next I’m planning on reading Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn series. I have a reread of a favorite for when I have days where I’m in a slump. I have my library hold which is typically a new release or something that came out within the last 2 years. And then I have the odd ball read which are books I don’t typically gravitate towards but I was randomly interested in, like memoirs.

    Each of my reads live in a different area of my house. Like my manga and reread live in my living room and I’ll read them while I’m drinking my morning coffee. My big book is in my “activity” basket and it goes with me all over the house. My nightstand has my odd ball reads.

    Anyone else like this??
