    When the Bookworm Can’t Read

    November 15, 2019 / 0 Comments

    I love to read. You don’t have to spend very much time with me at all to realize this. I talk about books, I have a tattoo of a girl reading on my arm, I write about books, I listen to audiobooks, the list continues. In the past three years my number of books read has gone as follows: 2015: 73 books2016: 80 books2017: 48 books2018: 60+ (I didn’t track all of them) And what about this year? Well, as I sit and write this I have read 25 books. And it is very close to the end of the year.  25 books is a respectable number, nothing wrong with that…

    Audiobooks and How I Reach My Reading Goals

    July 30, 2019 / 0 Comments

    I have always been an avid reader. In fact, I have no recollection of not being able to read. By the time I was four I could read picture books with ease and by the time I was six I was visiting the library daily. When I was 14 years old, I dislocated my elbow and I was unable to hold up a book. During that time, someone was kind enough to recommend the free audiobook service Librivox to me. Librivox is an audiobook service for books in the public domain. I listened to Jane Eyre, Pride and Prejudice, Jack and Jill, Little Women, Pollyanna, Pollyanna Grows Up, Sense and…
