Believe it or not, one of my favorite places to read is at my kitchen sink. Or in front of a giant pile of unfolded laundry. Or when I'm walking back to the grocery store for the second time in one day because someone finished the milk and did not put it on the grocery list, even though the list is sitting right there with a pencil next to it.
How is this possible? Through the magic of audiobooks.
If you're not already hooked on audiobooks, let me tell you: they can make time spent doing tedious tasks (looking at you, making the beds) fly by. And if you're in the middle of an amazing story, you don't have to stop reading when you would normally have to put your book down (like when you're crossing the street).
You can borrow audiobooks from the library in three ways: CDs, Playaway devices (just add headphones and a battery) or you can download them onto a computer, tablet or phone through an app called Overdrive. Stop by and we'll show you how. And if you're looking for some great titles, check out our newest lists of recommendations.
