I can't deal with audiobooks - I'm fine with e-books and paper versions, but the audios just don't work for me.
DXM, the book was reviewed on Smart Bitches Trashy Books - the reviewer gave it a B+.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Because books.
I figured out that audio books only work for me if I'm doing something at the same time, like washing dishes or cooking or cleaning. If I try to just sit and listen to one, my mind wanders. They're good in the car, too, but I'm never in the car for that long anymore.

That's where I am with podcasts. I can listen if I'm walking somewhere or driving somewhere but otherwise I don't/can't.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

The review is here. They're mostly for romances, but they do review other genres. And the daily books on sale is a bit too tempting for me.

Audiobooks only work for me if I have a migraine. Otherwise my brain slides away from listening.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Lately they have been helping me fall asleep if I'm too anxious, but my usual is to only listen to them when I'm driving.

Because books.
What I'm craving right now is big full-color illustrated coffee table books about fascinating things, like a history of fashion or ballet or pastry.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Audiobooks + driving = perfection

When I'm driving, I have to listen to audiobooks I've already read. If I haven't read them before, I get too absorbed in them and don't pay attention to the road.
I can also never listen to a David Sedaris audiobook while I'm driving, because I almost ended up in a ditch that way once.
