Sarah Tribble: 10 Reasons to Give Audiobooks A Chance

I read Sarah Tribble's "10 Reasons to Give Audiobooks A Chance" and found what she had to say quite interesting. I personally don't listen to audiobooks so when I read her title I found her writing trying to convince me. For a person who doesn't have time to sit down and read a book, audiobooks can be a great way to get around that as you can listen to them in the car, on a bus or even while you're cooking dinner. For a uni student like me, I don't have the budget to pay $18 a month plus the $15 per book for an Audible subscription, when I'm already paying for an Apple Music or Spotify and Netflix subscription, and then trying to pay rent. This might be different for people who don't have the expense of rent or housing, but personally, the main thing stopping me from listening to audiobooks is the price. That being said, I really liked what Sarah had to say and her examples sounded interesting to read.

Liam Stewart: Ten Films or Television shows made better by their soundtracks

I really enjoyed reading this curation. I could tell that Liam was quite passionate about the songs and films he mentioned in his work by his depth of knowledge and insight. I probably only knew half of the films he mentioned, so perhaps some pictures may have been a nice addition to really state that invitation to listen. However, the ones that I did know I really enjoyed reading what he had to say about the composers and film scores or soundtracks alongside the films/shows. My favourite would've had to have been his writing on Hedwig's Theme from the first Harry Potter film score.

Holly Francis: 10 Youtube videos focusing on tutorials and educational videos that give instructions in teaching how to do something new

After reading Holly's curation, I must admit I did learn a thing or two. Her chosen videos were on a variety of topics which would suit a range of different interests. I really liked the Bermuda Triangle video because I enjoy hearing all the different conspiracy theories. I did find however that her topics were almost too broad, that I couldn't find a theme between them. I almost think because there would be thousands of Youtube videos on tutorials, she could've almost made her topic more honed in on one or two types of tutorial videos.
