I have to admit, there is something about the feel of a book in my hands that makes me happy. This is a conversation that I have held with many patrons! But out of convenience, I find e-Books and audiobooks to be great tools. I have even been known to read the same story via a physical book and an ebook at the same time. I read the physical book all day and switch to the ebook at night or when I do not want to carry the actual book. This way I can switch seamlessly between the formats that work best for me at the moment. I personally struggled a bit with audiobooks at first. I would lose track of the story and struggle to keep track of multiple characters. So audiobooks lost some of their appeal for me. However, I would say that even throughout this class, I have gotten better and can now listen to a book while I get things done around the house.

This one sounds really creepy! Though I'm not a horror reader, I do think the graphic you put together is really lovely.
ReplyDeleteAmber,

Hi Bobbi,
ReplyDeleteI've heard so much about Odd Thomas, so it was nice to see your review! Your post is visually stunning, not to mention perfectly on-topic for the horror genre. I appreciate how your "similar authors" section explains why each is recommended for lovers of Odd Thomas.
Thanks for sharing a wonderful post. I've found another one for by TBR!

Daniel,
DeleteThis one had been on my list for quite a while! I am so glad I finally read it! Thanks for the feedback!
Roberta,
ReplyDeleteI love that you included book facts! That is such a fun and quick way to learn about a book. I also like that on your similar authors you wrote a little bit about what they write. Your annotation is polished and looks amazing. Well done!
Thank you, Darla! I find why they are similar to be interesting so I wanted to include it. :)
DeleteI will say I have seen the movie and love it, but did not realize this was an adaptation from the novel. Great design and information on your review. After reading your review, I think I should try reading it since I enjoyed the movie. Then I compare and decide if the movie or novel was better.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful layout and I too love the book facts. I always see patrons check out this series - but I only knew the bare bones about it - I feel much more informed after your summary. Full points!
