I’ve bolded the titles that I especially loved. Not included on this list are works I alpha and beta read.

I’ve always snubbed audiobooks, but with all the driving I’ve been doing lately, I needed something to listen to and my playlists are getting stale. So I borrowed an audiobook from the library (hooray, Overdrive/Libby!). One became two, which turned into an Audible account. Yeah….I might be hooked. It still doesn’t replace hard copy books, but I can’t read those in the car, especially while driving. Added bonus, I can listen to books while cross stitching or doing house work.
