I am working with BBC Audiobooks America to launch an Audiobook Club. I’m in the process of trying to find some like-minded bloggers to help them get the word out.

I am attaching their press release for you to look over, but essentially it is an online book club open to anyone that will culminate in an online discussion to take place at the end of the month via their Facebook Group page. The first audiobook selection is Jaws by Peter Benchley – just in time for some summer “reading”.

Their group page is located here: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=79812459707

Do you think this might be some fodder on your blog? I’d really appreciate any boost you might be able to give! Thanks so much for your consideration!

@ Stan – to some point, i agree with you. I still like to flip my glossy magazines and lie in bed to read my favourite novel. I guess it’s a “mood” thing, there are times, listening to the audio books is just so convenient and no need to drag along thick books when i travel

@ Preetam – nice to hear from you. :) glad to find fellow audiobook lovers.

Experience for yourself how listening to a book can be fun, relaxing and a truly great way to enjoy a great book without having to read pages and pages of boring and eye straining text.

You’ll never have a boring moment throughout your day when you listen to brilliantly narrated books from your favorite writers . Or may be you prefer to learn a new language without having to read and memorize.

Audio books make it possible to make great use of those formerly unproductive minutes and hours while giving you great fulfillment and joy.

And now a days with the advent of high speed internet and mp3 players you can download your favorite audio book and start listening in a matter of minutes without having to go out to the book store and hope to find an audio book that interest you on tape or cd.

Also the fact that bookstores usually have a very limited titles on audio books where as on the internet there is an endless supply of titles , subjects and authors to choose from that you can instantly download and listen to in the comfort of your home, in my opinion, it’s just amazing.

I think I’d still prefer good old fashioned books. I love the touch and texture of paper and crisp pages, and the smell of a new book. :D

I realised I hardly like to read books on social media, PR etc! I much prefer fiction, design and certain christian books. I’m now reading ‘Brida’ by one of my fav authors Paul Coelho.
