Michele is back today to talk about more audiobooks!
***********************************************************************
Up until a few years ago, I had never even considered audiobooks as a way to increase my reading – but then my husband started working for a major audiobook publisher and I got hooked! Now I listen to them all the time – getting ready in the morning, in the car, exercising, at my daughter’s swim lessons, you name it. Audiobooks are fantastic for when you can’t physically hold a book and I have listened to some really fantastic performances. Here are some of my recent faves:
This book was so interesting – it had never occurred to me that everyday topics such as traffic patterns, medical studies and even work uniforms have unintentional bias in them. By not including women equally when performing these studies, a world has been created where the entire population doesn’t benefit similarly from various processes.
If you are a sports fan and loved Daisy Jones and the Six, this book is for you. This audiobook was fantastic – it was documentary style and performed by a full cast. Fun fact – Olympian Johnny Weir voices the character that the author has said she completely based on him.
A truly fascinating look at women’s health throughout history and how even today we are feeling the effects of the lack of importance placed on it.
Not my usual kind of listen, but a very thought-provoking timeline of a fictionalized nuclear attack, based on interviews with government officials and other experts.
Anyone else play The Oregon Trail in their elementary school’s computer lab? That game itself was pretty scary when you considered all that could go wrong for Americans trying to settle the West. This book followed one such group that was affiliated with the Donnors, with all of the heartbreak that went along with it.
Do you listen to audiobooks? Do you have any favorites?

I wouldn't know what to do without audiobooks. I love them so much! Invisible Women is already on my wishlist. I think it will be a very intriguing read!
ReplyDeleteDad just loaned me a copy of The Indifferent Stars Above!
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize Johnny Weir was one of the narrators for The Favorites. That book was fantastic!
