I’m always trying to make the commitment of reading more. This last time was when I took an overnight flight at the beginning of the summer and I stocked up on my summer must reads– you know how many of those I actually read? … Zero. Per usual, it was Audible to the rescue. It is literally the only way I have time to “read” anymore.
I’m surprised at how many of my friends still don’t know about Audible. I am constantly recommending it. Road trips. Check. Work Commute. Check. Airplane Rides. Check. Check Check. If I think about it, I’ve always been a fan… but back in the day, we called it something else, Books On Tape LOL! I would wag cassette tapes in binders, no less, of whatever book or series I was listening to. Well, fast forward about 30 years and life has gotten a whole lot simpler…plug in some earphones, pick a book and away you go! Here’s whats currently in the queue.
-
The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari. By Robin Sharma. Told as an inspiring parable about a lawyer, Julian Mantle, whose out-of-balance life provokes a spiritual crisis. As he journeys to an ancient culture, he gains powerful and practical wisdom. The story offers a step-by-step approach to a life of balance, courage, abundance, and joy. It’s a quick read and I always enjoy a book that combines practical life tools with spiritual overtones.
-
Murder on the Orient Express. By Agatha Christie. This is an oldie but a goodie. I’ve read it’ before but I started listening to it because a new movie is coming out this year. Still as good as I remembered.
-
Big Little Lies. By Liane Moriarity. This is an HBO series so I wanted to read it before I watched! I won’t spoil it for you but if you love the show, you don’t want to miss this one.
-
Glory Days. By Max Lucado. Living Your Promised Land Life Now. It doesn’t really matter what book I read or listen to by this author, I know I’m going to love it. It’s one of the few author’s that I keep the actual books long after I read them. I just love listening to the storytelling style of Max Lucado. Bonus… this book also has a study guide.
-
Into the Water. By Paula Hawkins. This is a suspense thriller that is written by the author, “A Girl on the Train,” so it was a must have for one of my reads this summer. I normally stick with self help, inspirational or business type books, so when I can sneak off and spend a little time in the fiction world, I love it!
