But I have a question.
I recently received an audiobook of Muriel Barbery's Gourmet Rhapsody from LibraryThing's FirstLook program. And I told my husband that I was planning on popping on the audiobook during the Read-a-thon so I could still go work out and cook dinner, etc. And he said: THAT'S CHEATING!!!
So I'm asking...is listening to an audiobook during the Read-a-thon cheating?
***UPDATE: Consensus is, listening to an audiobook is NOT cheating. Whatever my husband says.

No. That is absolutely *not* cheating. You're still awake and absorbed in a book. :-)

It absolutely is NOT cheating. If you consider audiobooks to still be reading (which I do), then it is completely fine. Plus, you have to eat!
ReplyDeleteNO NO NO...an audio book is not cheating.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're joining in too! It'll be exciting-- I am trying to figure out what kind of snacks I want to have on hand for it... hmm...
ReplyDeleteNo, that's not cheating. You might need to rest your eyes. Welcome to the Read-a-thon!
ReplyDeleteI've been told that there really aren't any rules. Which would mean, of course, that there's no way to cheat!
ReplyDeleteNooo! Not cheating. I know a lot of people who have done audiobooks so they can still carry on with necessary activities. It's a smart idea...NOT cheating! :) Glad you're joining in!
ReplyDeleteI agree that it isn't cheating. Good luck with your reading! This will be my first time and I'm excited
