I’m a huge fan of the audiobook and that with the diminishing time I find to sit down, I’m devouring books through my ears instead. I especially enjoy listening to books that have a lot of dialogue and/or accents (even when reading with my eyes is an option). One such example of a great “listen” is Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Another I recently enjoyed with a myriad of voices from three generations of a family was Here I Am by Jonathan Safran Foer. I also loved listening to Atwood’s A Handmaid’s Tale because it was narrated masterfully by Claire Dane of “Homeland” fame.
Tomorrow morning I begin my roadshow! Driving to the New York area for three days of EDEN book events. I’m already excited to wake up and start the drive because I just downloaded Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi…
