I have discovered Hoopla- a free library app that is basically lets me borrow audio-books- up to 6 a month. All you need is your local library card.
It is a miracle of modern technology- The biggest thing since I got an iPod in 2012. I still love my iPod.
So far I have listened to Ben Franklin's autobiography, which I wish I had know was unfinished, The Millionaire Next Door, which has some sage financial advise for all of us, The Good Neighbor (about Mr. Rogers), which could have been edited far more effectively than it was, The Dutch Girl (about Audrey Hepburn in World War II), and the Alice Network, which is easily the best book I have read in recent years.
My sixth book is one I have read before- The Diplomat's Wife by Pam Jenoff.
There are dozens of cherished classics that I plan to listen to on my commutes to and from work. This is life-changing.
Six a month doesn't seem enough, but it is still a joy. I love books- they are visits to other worlds and I am diving in.
