AUDIOBOOKS: Movies With Eyes Closed

Hello!

Since I'm new to the blogging world, I figured that you guys don't know me yet. Not really.

What better way to introduce myself than share something I am currently obsessed with?

I mean, we fangirls (and fanboys), are either obsessed with something or we don't like it at all -- there is no in between.

As I've mentioned before, I've been having some trouble with my eyes and/or vision. I tried resting them for a couple of days but every now and then it's all still a little hazy.

But I can't live without stories in my life!

So I decided to download some audiobooks.

I used to bash on audiobooks because I didn't understand why people prefer listening to books than reading. I felt like it was boring and that it took away the fun of having the book and actually flipping through the pages -- not to mention sniffing the pages!

But I take it all back!

I shouldn't have been shooting it down before I actually got to listen to one.

Now I'm borderline obsessed with audiobooks!

And it's kind of stressing me out because audiobooks are expensive.

So far, I only have 3 audiobooks in my phone:

Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell

This is my all-time favorite book! I've read it about a dozen times and it is my go-to book when I'm on the verge of a reading slump, sad, bored, indecisive on what to read next, or just downright lazy to read and/or live my life.

I didn't know that I can love it any more than I already do until I heard the audiobook!

It's a totally new experience.

It felt like watching a movie with eyes closed.

The feels were just too much! I kept smiling even in the dark of my room as I listened to it before I went to bed. I mean, I've been wanting a movie of it for so long but this audiobook is enough for now. At least we still get to imagine who we want to be Eleanor and Park.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling

This was the first audiobook I listened to. I've been hearing great reviews about it.

I admit, I was intimidated at first because English isn't my first language so listening to an entire book with British accent, I was afraid I wouldn't understand some of the parts.

Thankfully, that isn't the case. It's amazing!

Again, it's like watching a movie with closed eyes.

I also chose the final book to the series because I've only read it once (when it first came out) and because my copy of the book has been missing since.

I don't know if someone borrowed it and never returned it or I just lost it somewhere here in the house.

I've never seen it.

Mistborn: The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson

I've been wanting to read the Mistborn trilogy since I first heard about it on YouTube (yes, I watch an awful lot of BookTube). However, each book is really big. I don't think I can finish it. It's really intimidating!

So what better way to read it than to just listen to it?

This is the only book I haven't actually read yet before I listen to the audiobook so let's see if I'll actually be able to understand and remember everything I hear.

Also, a friend of mine recommended it to me. She said that it's a great audiobook.
