Got audio books for Christmas - when do you listen?

DH gave me a boxed set of audio books on CD for Christmas, books by an author I love.

I just wondered if other people listen to audio books often and, if so - kind of, how?
I mean, do you sit down and listen and do nothing else as if you were sitting down to read a book? Listen in the car? As background to the ironing, cooking, kids?

Just wondered!

Funny you should sa audio cds I just uploaded a book to iTunes. I listen whenever I get a chance especially when I get into it. I'm a big fan of podcasts so am listening a lot anyway. I don't sit down and listen unless I'm feeding the baby. Usually I listen on the go.
What about you?

I listen in the car but I spend a couple of hours a day driving so it suits me. Don't listen at home although DS (5) will potter in his room while listening to one.

I listen in the car and on the commute to work.

I listen in bed with a pillowtalk

I put them on my iPod and use them on holiday - it's great for sunbathing - not having to hold a book when lying on your back. Also good on the plane/train/general travelling. My iPod holds lots of audiobooks so it saves taking heavy books on holiday too.

pillowtalk looks fab - can your partner really not hear it?

OliviaMumsnet · 31/12/2008 15:22

Nope,, you squash your ear up against the pillow to hear so noise is muffled for dp.

In the car - music makes me drive too fast.

PortAndLemon · 09/01/2009 06:26

In the car on long journeys. Although I'm now tempted by the PillowTalk...

In the car
When I'm cooking
When I'm cleaning
In bed
When I go walking
When I'm on the computer

I love audiobooks
