After various earnest and failed attempts over recent years, I've conceded that my particular lifestyle makes it hard for me to keep up with reading physical books. I read a lot of articles online, but sadly my books sit on the shelf, half-started.
Total game changer- I bought some AirPods, and my local librarian gave me some suggestions about joining Libby and borrowing audiobooks. This was all BRAND NEW stuff to me!
Holy cow, what a breakthrough for me! Now I'm joined up to 5 library systems, and am having a total BLAST 'reading' books again. Got through In the Heart of the Sea, and The North Water this past few weeks, loved them both. I'm using my AirPods while fitness walking, on long drives, and on the couch in the evening with my feet up.
Now I've decided to revisit some of my favorite authors I loved as a teenager- H.P. Lovecraft and Ray Bradbury. I'm curious to see whether the stories will thrill me as much now as they did then.
I also look forward to enjoying some audiobooks about Greenwich Village in the 1950s and 1960s, because I was a little girl growing up there at the time and i have such memories from that time and place.
I'm grateful that I finally found the 'key' to my being able to really enjoy book reading again. 📚🐛
