Written Word Wednesdays: Audio Books

Image
I am a voracious reader, so at times when I am not able to have a physical book in my hands I love to listen to audio books. I listen while I work, drive, craft, etc.   Here are some of my favorites, and what I look for when selecting a book to listen to.   What to look for in an Audio Book?   1) Read by the author.   This is especially true for non-fiction books, though there have been several novels and short stories that being read by the author made the experience more enjoyable.   My favorite examples:     This book hilarious, and even more so when read to you by the queen herself. Imagine Liz Lemon reading you Tina Fey's comedy history. Yep it is that good.   Any of the Sweet Potato Queens books by Jill Conner Brown are worth the listening believe me. Learning the "promise" or what whomp biscuits are, or about the red-headed man who would not move. If you aren't a wannabe queen after these books well, bless your heart.
