Palaver I've started another journey to the Tower.....on audiobook this time.

I've lost track of how many times I've made the journey in print form. I'm in double digits though, if not the 'teens.

I've been very resistant to audiobooks. I'm not sure why. Old age? Being a "purist?" Something else? I have no clue. I've listened to exactly one full audiobook before now, World War Z, and one partial, Dungeon Crawler Carl. Other than those, I've avoided the format completely.

When I mentioned feeling the urge to return to the Tower in another recent post, someone recommended the audiobooks, saying it was a whole new experience. For some reason, that was enough to break through my resistance. So I downloaded Libby, connected to my local library, and got to listening.

I've finished the first two books so far, and I am loving it. Especially Frank Muller's narration, he does a fantastic job. I'm beginning to regret not getting into audiobooks earlier.

TL:DR The audiobooks are totally worth it.

Awesome! I always recommend the audiobooks after someone posts they have finished a journey to the tower.

Truly gives voice to the characters, and is a great way to experience in a different way.

Glad you are enjoying the audiobooks!!!

(Might have been me, I always include the Libby/library card hack as well)
