1. Ebook

AFTER you reach the six-book goal:
1. Which was your favorite format? I'm not sure that I have a favorite. I like kindle books because wherever my phone goes, I have bucketloads of books at my fingertips, so that's quite handy. I like paperbooks because 'ah, the smell of aging books' and they are definitely easier on the eyes. Hardcovers are great, since they tend to be more durable. And an audiobook done well is wonderful! (Especially Kate Breslin's As Dawn Breaks with such splendid accents). I guess I tend to favor ebooks lately, since they are the easiest to have on hand.

BONUS: For fun, read two more books in your favorite format (the one you chose in answer to the above question). Ebook:

AFTER you reach the six-book goal:

1. Which was your favorite format?
All three formats have their pluses and minuses.
Hardcover; I like the sturdiness, feels solid as I hold it. On the downside, they are more expensive and can be bulky to carry around.
Ebook; Very convenient while traveling, you can carry many books in a small package. Ebooks are more affordable with many being available for free. Downside, mine can have too much of a glare while trying to read outside and you have to remember to charge the thing.
Paperback; feels good to hold a book and turn pages. I love to see a bookshelf lined with books to read. They are more affordable than hardcover and easier to toss in my purse and go. I also share my paperbacks with friends that love to read but can not afford books.
So, overall I will have to say my favorite is paperback.

BONUS: For fun, read two more books in your favorite format (the one you chose in answer to the above question).

1. Which was your favorite format?

— well I have learned that I sadly cannot keep focused on print books. What a surprise when I used to never leave the house without a book in hand! Audiobooks are my favorite these days, then Ereader

Welcome, Kim!

@Andrea: Is there a regular Audio Books Challenge this year?
I know I signed up for it, but I can't find it.

I don’t remember an audiobook challenge being posted this year, and I didn’t see one in the yearly challenges. This format mixer is the only one I have personally posted that features audiobooks, so there isn’t another one in the six-month or eighteen-month challenge lists either.

Natalie wrote: "@Andrea: Is there a regular Audio Books Challenge this year?

There is not an audio-book challenge for the full year challenges either. It will be coming in the 2023 challenges.

I'm so glad to hear that there will be an audiobook challenge. I have made a shelf and am just keeping up with my audiobooks there for now. Thanks for adding one in the upcoming year!

You're welcome Britanny! I should have added it this year, but didn't think about it. So it is already on my 2023 Challenge List I have started.

I am really enjoying this challenge! I am doing it in rounds (each round has six books in it divided between the various formats. Once I reach six, I start a new round). I am about to start Round 4.

I'm glad you're enjoying it, Brittany!

I'm going to call this one finished since I am way beyond six!
