Mom downloads audio books to her phone and when nobody is home she often just plays them without headphones and we get to listen to them. When she forgets to turn on our daily book, we remind her it is time for our daily entertainment. We like British readers. Mom thinks this dates back to Dog Dad getting us hooked on British announcers with soccer. However, we just happen to like British readers. It makes the story more interesting. Mom listens to a range of fiction and non-fiction but we prefer when she stays away from the scary stuff. It gives us nightmares, but how can we leave her alone to listen to it by herself?
We prefer her reading audio books to paper or her Kindle because we get to participate too. She can sit for hours staring at pages of squiggles and we get nothing from that. At least with an audio book we can hear and share the story.
