The Beauty of Audio Books

            Recently I have discover the joys of audio books which has come as a great surprise. I never truly thought I would enjoy this format but since starting University my desire to sit down and read for a couple hours has deteriorated. This is not to say I do not enjoy reading books but completing a book seems more tedious at times. I also feel audio books are more compatible , accessible and vast in collection then in previous years.

            The beauty of audio books for me personally is that they can easily be uploaded on various devices like iphone/samsung galaxy, tablets, ereaders or your pc computer. Therefore your audio book can  be with you on the go without taking tons of space in your bag.Another perk of audiobooks is that I can take in a chapter while in the car, taking public transit, walking the dog or lying in bed with no strain on the eyes.Audio books can easily be found  online from sites like audible.com, amazon.com, or itunes for a fee or found free at your library (branch or online catalogue) or  school library. 

           Some minor disadvantages of audio books are that the readers' voice is not pleasant to listen to, finding certain audio books may be difficult or costly and that by using audio books you are also using battery power off your devices. Some books I have enjoy as audio files are shown below.
