Does Audiobook Count As Reading Novels & Stories

Declan hesitates, sharing a glance with Noah. My heart beats too loudly in my ears. A growl slips from Declan, it sounds so pained my insides curl against themselves. Still, I stand with my hand outstretched, the weight of the book doesn’t bother me, and I steel myself against it. Whatever it is… I can’t feel worse than the actual victim. With a deep breath, my eyes go to the pages. Running down the pages, from years of practice, I can read fast, my eyes greedily take in the words.

I’ve never heard of it. I’m not much of a reader of books. I’m too distractible. When the money started to come in from the farmers’ market, I got into audiobooks, though. The sound doesn’t exactly drown out the pecking voice, but I can kind of focus on the narrator, and it really helps the day go by better.

Challenged him. Why was she here? She found herself considering how to leave. Politely. He grinned. “What I mean is the life is different when the body, the book, is, what, a computer tablet? A teeny-tiny phone?” A long sigh. “Pages, real pages, have a hunger to them. A need that isn’t answered when you push a button or, well, whatever it is you do with a whatchamacallit.” “A Kindle.” “Right. A Kindle. Books are greedy to be read. They’re desperate. That electronic stuff?” He shrugged. “It doesn’t have the feel of the page. It can’t feast on your senses. Your hopes. Your dreams.” A pause as he watched her. “You see?”

And no doubt, have hot dreams about it. It’s another book suggestion from her. I’ve just finished the last one she recommended, and honestly, I shouldn’t dive into another. Once I start reading, I lose myself completely. But this time, she’s telling me to listen to it. Audiobook. That’s new. Before I even realize what I’m doing, I click the link she sent, and in a matter of seconds, the book is purchased and playing through my home speakers. I settle back in bed, letting the narrator’s deep voice wash over me, and within moments, I realize Lucy’s sent me a stalker romance. Great.

This one was about a small girl who was afraid of thunder and the grandmother who told her the thunder was just the sky moving furniture around. He read that one too. All the way through. Same pace, same attention. I turned around. He looked up from the book. I said: you are reading to my stomach. He said: the research is clear. Repeated auditory exposure beginning at this gestational stage produces measurable recognition responses after birth. I am not going to skip a documented developmental window because it feels unusual. I said: it does not feel unusual. He said: good. He looked back at the book. I turned back to the drafting table.

She uttered before shoving the other copy into her bag. “Lights that don’t flicker.” I read out the title of the book, groaning inside of me, considering that I’ve never been a fan of novels. I only read business contracts, manifestos, and newspapers when I’m bored, but most times it’s business contracts and documents belonging to a property I was buying. “This is a good read, trust me on this. You wouldn’t regret making this video.” “I hope so,” I replied and made the video, encouraging everyone to read her book.

"What are you reading? Besides the textbook." The change in subject threw me. "Um, I just finished The Stand by Stephen King." His eyes lit up. "The Stand? That's over a thousand pages. You actually finished it?" "I've read it three times," I admitted. "Three times?" He looked genuinely impressed. "Most people won't even read it once because of the length." "The length is part of the appeal," I said, feeling slightly more confident talking about books. "You get to live in that world for longer, get to know the characters so deeply. It's like being part of something bigger than yourself."

He would be totally shocked if Hans finished reading those 8 books in just a short amount of time. Hans put down the book he was currently reading and confusedly asked, “Which books are you referring to?” Anthony pointed at the 8 books piled in shock. But what surprised him, even more, is when Hans nodded. He really finished reading those books. That’s ridiculous! “What?!… How did you read those books? By just scanning them?” Those books weren’t thin in the first place. Each book consists of 400 pages or more. Hans reading it at a fast pace is like how a photocopier works. It’s very fast.

The Count of Monte Cristo, she had never read it, but Nicki Moulton had told her she should have several times, it was one of his favorites. She began reading it while in the bath and continued long after the water had cooled. She sat wrapped in a towel in one of the armchairs. She was still reading it when Kyle walked in, took a shower then walked back out in a suit. She was laying on the bed reading it when she heard him return and start working on something in the next room. Chloe was still reading when Kyle came into the room and climbed in the bed under the comforter that she was effectively pinning down and sprawled crookedly across. He looked a bit awkward trying to get comfortable th

You can read the book for curiosity's sake but not reading the book will not disturb the flow of the story so enjoy ! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
