Audio Box

What’s Jack up to? Right now he’s hunkered under my bed like he’s in for the night. Sorry, Jack you’ve gotta go to your own bed. You know I don’t go for critters sleeping under me. Ahem, no jokes please!

Today I just finished listening to Janet Evanovich’s Lean Mean Thirteen on my ipod. So much fun! For years I never thought of myself as an audio book girl. I mean honestly, is there anything better than a new book? The feel of cool crisp paper beneath your fingers is just delicious.

But thanks to Jack I’m now doing lots more walking and I’m totally in favor of a good audio book. And thanks to the library I can get the book on cd and download it to my ipod quick and easy. Fantastic.

My favorite audio books have been all the Janet Evanovich Stephanie Plum books. I often find myself laughing out loud as I walk down the street. The reader is wonderful at instantly pulling you into the story and every character has a distinct voice that fits them perfectly.

Besides that, I’m just in awe of how Janet Evanovich has made this world with these amazing characters that feel like they could be friends that you can hop in you car and go to visit. It’s something I strive for as a writer. The book’s over, but I can still picture them going on and living their lives. Now that’s what I call a good series!

Another plus with the JE audio books in at the end of most of them is this cool question and answer session with Janet. So you get to hear in her own words how she makes up this world and what her life is like. So much fun for us newbies in the writing game. Check them out and let me know what you think.

So tell me are you an audio book person, strictly paper only or are you one of those cutting edge modern-nistas with an e-reader?

Best,
Kwana
