Audiobooks and steps

My reminder list shouts at me, ‘you need to write a blog post’.

Fine, I grumble… and then I wonder ‘what shall I write?’

Who the heck is interested in whatever happened to me this last week? And then, of course, aging as I am, I struggle to even remember what happened to me in the last week. A friend suggested it might be menopause and I assured her that I have always been a bit scatty where memory is concerned. Unless it’s useless trivia.

I did manage to install overdrive on my phone and PC. It’s an app that allows libraries to lend e-books and audiobooks. And best of all, it’s free. You just log in with your library card and you’re away!

So I have been very busy listening to the kind of books I might not have spent my jealously hoarded Audible credits on. On Audible I find myself trying to get best value for my money, so I choose very long editions or boxed sets for extra value. They count as one purchase. So I’ve been listening to shorter editions and trying authors and genres I haven’t tried before – that kind of thing. And it’s been great fun.

All my reviews are posted at my Goodreads account.

I have read 320 books so far this year, and I am #8 reviewer in Australian. Nice.

I’ve also walked miles (literally) more than I normally do as I listen while I’m walking, so it’s all good.
