Audiobook Woes

So, if you guys read my previous post, you know that I got my first ever audiobook for the 2015 Reading Challenge - The Illustrated Man by Ray Bradbury.

It did not go well you guys.

Here's the thing, I'm more of an auditory learner. I learn better when I'm listening to someone explain something. So naturally, audiobooks MUST bring me joy. It should have been my thing.

But no... This is what happened -
 I totally dozed off. Then I thought maybe it would be better if I heard the audiobook while I was travelling. I usually listen to music while travelling, so this should be the solution. I'll surely finish at least half the book.

Nope.
I totally fell asleep again.

Maybe it was the narrator. I think because his voice was so calm, it started to feel like a lullaby and I just dozed off. Lovelies, I don't think audiobooks are for me. Am I alone in this?

Maybe I should try another audiobook next year? With a different narrator? Any recommendations?

Let me know in the comments below!

Random Note

I finally added some of the books that I read over at Goodreads... still have a few to add though... :|
But as of now I'm at 99 books for 2015!

I got my first ever Audiobook - The Illustrated Man by Ray Bradbury, so that's something to look forward to...
My Uncle sent The Secret Daily Teachings by Rhonda Byrne for me... I think we're supposed to read one of the teachings daily, for the whole year. I'll probably just read it together. (I'm doing it for the Reading Challenge you guys :P )

Also got a couple books sorted into the categories for the Reading Challenge as well.

There still might be some hope that I could actually finish the challenges...

Till later lovelies!
