i came across these blind dates with a book so I picked one up £4 got a bookmark and 2 stickers included too.

Any one read this one? looks quite dated but doesnt mean its not going go be any good.

Audio Books 🎧📚

So today I started the last book in my current series and as I downloaded it onto my kindle it said I could listen to it for free. So whilst H has been with her friend I thought id give it a try.

Well this is an experience 😳 I'm not even sure i like it tbh firstly the voices 😅 well I'm not liking them but its weird just hearing and not having a visual either. I definitely cant listen and do something else thats for sure 🤣 i tried closing my eyes to picture and really get into the book nope I fell asleep for a couple of mins 🤣

So question ❓️
how do you listen to yours ?
Do you prefer audiobooks or actually reading? 📖
What am I doing wrong 🥴
