This meme is the discussion topic for today. My answers are filled in below:

Here’s something quick and easy for the middle of the week, just a short meme. Just copy/paste (and obviously change the answers to your own).

Current/most recent audiobook: I just finished Blind Your Ponies by Stanley West and I’m currently listening to Queen of Babble in the Big City by Meg Cabot.

Impressions: My review of Blind Your Ponies is here. Queen of Babble in the Big City is funny and cute just like I was expecting. (It’s the second book in the Queen of Babble series.) It’s narrated by Justine Eyre who narrates a lot of Cabot’s books and is a really good narrator.

Current favorite audiobook: Anything by David Sedaris. I love him. My husband and I are going to see him live in November – I can’t wait. We saw him a couple of years ago and I’ve never laughed so hard in my life. My cheeks ached afterwards!

One narrator who always makes you choose audio over print: Hmm, I actually don’t pay that much attention to who the narrator is but I will choose the audio for most any book written by a comedian if they read the book themselves – David Sedaris, Jon Stewart, etc. I can’t wait to listen to Tina Fey’s book.

Genre you most often choose to listen to: I mostly listen to chick-lit in audio because I find that when I listen to something that requires a lot of brain power, my mind tends to wander.

If given the choice, you will always choose audio when: If it’s a comedian reading their own book (see above).

If given the choice, you will always choose print when: If it’s a non-fiction book that requires a lot of concentration or a book with a lot of characters and I think I may need to flip back to remember who’s who.
