The Growing Popularity Of Audio Books
I LOVE audiobooks so I was super excited to hear Diane Rehm’s show yesterday.
Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil
You can read it…while decorating your Southern manion, er—I mean while drinking bourbon by the fire.
Perfect…for taking a vacation to the balmy South without leaving home, especially in audio book form. Jeff Woodman narrating is particularly delightful.
For…adults who enjoy literature that takes its time or nonfiction.
Holidays on Ice with six new stories*
You can read it…with a few martinis after you get off work at the mall.
Perfect…for adult only car trips, or reading aloud after the kiddies have gone to bed.
For…adults with a sense of humor.
*This version published in 2008, is the second edition and includes twelve stories covering an array of holidays not just Christmas.
Back from the beach and if you are headed out on a vacation of your own, here are some excellent audiobook suggestions by NPR’s Listen to the Story. You can find the transcript here.
