items Something that fell to the wayside once I reached adulthood was reading. Who has the time? No longer was I the passenger in my vessel, but the driver! I can’t read and drive at the same time! Eventually — I learned how to make it work for me. If you’...

Make it easy to do it, and you’ll have no excuse!
Getting a Kindle was a game changer for me. It was a last minute decision, and I’ll be honest, it took me a full year to fully realize its potential. But, I don’t go anywhere without it. Don’t get me wrong — I love a book. I’m just too on the go for ...

If I had to pick one app to be stranded on a deserted island with, it’d be Libby. Connect your library card, and you’re in! All E-Books sent directly to your kindle and you can listen to the audiobooks on the app. Thank you, Libby. I love you. If you...

Me coming around to audiobooks started with my Spotify subscription adding listening hours that were enough for at least one audiobook a month.

The books that got me hooked!

The Stand
This was an incredible listen. I am a big fan of the podcast My Favorite Murder and they always mentioned Ann Rule as being a ~Queen~.
They were right. This is an incredible, true story written by someone who developed a friendship with Ted Bundy pri...

A little extra to make it even more fun!
I know you all will think this as silly as I did the first time I saw it. You’ll swear you’ll never need it. Don’t worry, this will still be here waiting for you when you think of how much easier it would if you didn’t have to shuffle the covers arou...
