WHY LISTEN?

I TOOK A CHALLENGE OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS TO READ A CERTAIN NUMBER OF BOOKS EACH YEAR. THIS YEAR I HAVE STARTED A NEW CHALLENGE. HERE ARE JUST A FEW BOOKS I COMPLETED THIS YEAR. EACH MONTH I HAVE A NEW BOOK, THE LATEST AND GREATEST JUST WAITING ON ME. I CAN PREORDER BOOKS AND HAVE THEM THE FIRST DAY THEY COME OUT.

WHY AUDIOBOOKS?

I JUST FINISHED THE BOOK, “TOM LAKE” AND IT WAS NARRATED BY MERYL STREEP, IT WAS FUN TO HEAR HER PLAY THE VARIOUS CHARACTERS.

OR, IT IS GREAT TO HEAR THE DIALECT OF THE YOUNG GIRL IN “WHERE THE CRAWDADS SING” MAKES THE BOOK COME ALIVE.

I LISTEN ALL THE TIME, WHILE DOING CHORES, ON MY FIRE TV AND ESPECIALLY IN MY CAR. IT PICKS UP ON MY PHONE RIGHT WHERE I LEFT OFF SO I CAN LISTEN WHILE FLOATING IN MY POOL.

I HAVE ALSO CHECKED OUT SOME TOTALLY FREE BOOKS AND SOME CLASSICS THAT I ALWAYS WANTED TO READ. THIS IS MY 5 YEAR AND I HAVE READ OVER 500 BOOKS AND 122 OF THOSE WERE SINCE 2021.

BELOW ARE JUST A FEW OF THE MANY BOOKS I HAVE READ THIS YEAR. I AM CHECKING OUT NEW AUTHORS AND FINDING SOME THAT I REALLY LOVE AND WANT TO READ MORE OF WHAT THEY WRITE.

IT IS SO EXCITING AND FUN TO READ/LISTEN TO THESE NEW AND EXCITING BOOKS AND I CAN NOT WAIT FOR THE NEW ONES TO COME OUT THIS MONTH.
