Today's subject for audiobook week hosted by Jen of Devourer of Books is:
When do you listen to audiobooks?
I listen on my iPod every day while I workout (mostly walking when the weather cooperates). I am hit or miss when I clean and do other chores around the house and yard. I need to be more consistant about reaching for the iPod.
There is always an audiobook going in my car. I have not listened to the radio in years. There are times when my sons or husband use my car and I notice that the disc is further along than I remember. They end up listening instead of turning off the disc. ;o) In fact, my son borrowed LOTRs from the library and put it on his iPod for when he mows lawns.
I tried to listen while falling asleep, but found I had to go back and re-listen so I gave that up. If I could read a book and listen to an audiobook, I would do it! LOL
Where do you listen?

I listen to audiobooks pretty much anytime that I can! I don't have a car, but I've gotten into the habit of trying to have an audiobook going on my iPhone at all times. That way, I can just start and stop listening wherever I am.
You also listen while doing your hair? I'd be afraid of getting product on the earbuds. My son has been in the car with me a couple of times and was threatening to jump out if I didn't turn it off. I knew he was playing; but I guess I'll just have to remember to go solo from now on! Except it won't really be "solo" because I'll have my narrator with me.
I fall asleep so quickly that I don't often listen at night in bed. The only times I try is when there's a slumber party going on at my house and I'm trying to distract myself from the noise!
I don't listen to audiobooks that much. I find that when I am listening to an audio book and try to do something else, I lose concentration and end up missing parts in the story.
That's so funny that your family just keeps listening to your book! I think that would really annoy me, actually...
My player has a bookmark feature. I set that when I listen in bed and then set the sleep timer so the player will shut off. That way I can go back to where I started before falling asleep.
