The only audio books I seem to manage are biographies, maybe because I'm not trying to follow a story but just listening to someone talk about their life in vignettes. I really enjoyed Prince Harry's "Spare" because he narrated it, and Anderson Cooper's "The Rainbow Comes and Goes" because it was more of a conversation between a mother and her son rather than a story. I always have at least three books on-the-go. One e-book beside the bed, one e-book by the couch for midnight bouts of insomnia, and one physical book beside my chair. When I'm in the mood for an audio book, it joins the lineup during sewing time.
I'm on Goodreads and like to challenge my reading choices by trying to achieve reading challenge badges besides meeting my yearly reading goal. Exploring titles within the badges takes me out of my usual comfort reading and I've been lucky to have made good choices so far. I recently joined an online bookclub through my alma mater and loved the first book ("A Pair of Wings" by Carole Hopson but the current one hasn't grabbed me yet ("Etta and Otto and Russell and James" by Emma Hooper.
If you are interested in comparing books, look me up on Goodreads. I'm always looking for recommendations.
