I am helplessly attached to the audiobook. Forget paper cuts, burning eyes and paper smell, you can now upgrade yourself to 0% effort aka "the audio book".
No, I am not selling audiobooks and no, it's not a religion. But I am telling you how awesome they are!
Oh, for people who have no clue what it is, an audiobook is an audio format for a book. So in EVEN more simpler terms, for the EVEN more simple minded person, someone reads the books for you while you sit back like a vegetable.
Let me paint a picture of what my life would be without it:
1. I would've have multiple car accidents, possibly lose a limb due to fatigue-driving.
2. I would've left my job due to my dislike in long hours of sitting in traffic listening to commercial radio.
3. I would have lost IQ points only listening to commercial radio.
4. I would be richer as audiobooks cost money to buy.
5. My ipod would have gone to waste. Mr V would have spent $$$ for no reason and perhaps dumped my ass for appearing ungrateful for his gifts.
6. I would be single due to the above.
7. I would have mega thick glasses as my eyes would roll themselves backwards due to 1000s of words being processed through my head.
8. Life would be dull.
I simply can't sit in a car without whipping out my ipod and listening to the latest chapter. Although commercial radio stations are good for those who want to know more about an ant fart or why some Cop woman went to dinner instead of a bushfire... but for those, like myself, who don't give two fucks, will instead enjoy an audiobook. Erotica, vampires, sci-fi, drama, comedy... you name it!

Hot Six by Janet Evanovich, the Stephanie Plum series.
This was my first non-vampire series. I love the characters in this series as each character is so real, makes me think that these characters actually do exist. Stephanie is your ass-kicking bounty hunter who gets sugar/chocolate cravings when hungry, when depressed and when she can't sleep properly. She's your everyday woman which a not-so-everyday-job. Then there's Joe Morelli, who is the definition of "hunky". The two characters make an awesome pair and each attempted love scene between them sends goosepimples down my spine and I sometimes find myself laughing with their quirky actions.
The everyday woman "Stephanie" is barely scraping by as a Bounty Hunter, paying her rent by bringing in FTAs (Failure to Appear). This is so real to me because she isn't written to be some super woman that suddenly becomes this awesome bounty hunter and becomes good in everything. She makes the mistakes that most women would make and she becomes successful at what she does.
I've been listening to Hot Six, which is the sixth volume of the series. I am so glad that there are 15 volumes so far, so at least I know I still have more to go!

Sookie Stackhouse Series by Charlene Harris.
This 9 volume series is my favourite fictional series! I can't get over this! Her 10th book will be available for purchase on May 10th, I'm wondering how long it would take for an audiobook to come out. I enjoy the voice actress for Sookie in the audiobooks so I might wait until an audiobook is available.
Sookie Stackhouse is a telepathic waitress. Shes blond, blue-eyed and gifted in the chest area. She works in a bar and wears tight black shorts and a tight white shirt. She could have any man except she'd have to listen to their minds all night, and in bed. So she opts to date vampires, who don't project their thoughts. The love triangle between Vampires Bill and Eric and Sookie was exciting. I personally would choose the cheeky vampire Eric over "I'm so mysterious and cool-Bill".
In one of the novels, Sookie meets a Weretiger called Quinn, ohhhhh i loved the two so much.
Vampires in the fictional town of Bon Temps have come out and have become widely accepted by society. Vampires have since become organised, which each area governed by groups of Vampires. Sookie, used for her telepathic abilities, helps solve murders and killings that keep taking place in Bon Temps.
I enjoy knowing about how Sookie can fight crime but still have sleepless nights about which guy she likes. PLUS on top of all the vampire/werewolf/fairy drama, she is still able to get a perfect tan.
I haven't watched this series on TV yet, I'm alittle hesitant to. You picture the characters in your head while you read the book and sometimes, the TV series uses characters that appear totally different to whats in your mind. It can ruin everything! I'm needing to though...

Vampire Dairies by L.J Smith.
This series was only okay to me. The series is based on Elena Gilbert, the most popular girl in school. She has a bunch of girls that follow and obey her every command. A handsome vampire arrives at her school. In case you're wondering how this Vampire "Stefan" would enter a school in daylight, any vampire that carries a lapis-lazuli stone can withstand sunlight but not without great effort. Then theres smoldering Damon that is intent on killing his brother Stefan and taking Elena for himself. I found this series to be abit boring, Elena is the prettiest girl in school, the specialist vampire, the most beautiful angel... shes too perfect and wayyyy too lovestruck with Stefan. It's almost cringeworthy each time Stefan and Elena are together... there's love and there's also too much love.
This is just my opinion. There are six audio books in total, and initially i thought there was only 5 books, when I found out that there was a sixth book... I felt it was time to drop the series. It just didn't rock my world.
You can download and buy a WHOLE range of audiobooks at the iTunes website.Audiobooks at bookstores are lacking and don't have a range at all (if you can call 10 audiobooks a "range" in the first place).
Get your credit card ready and buybuybuy away!
STAY AWESOME
