Reading Through Life

Show notes:

Maybe it’s obvious, but you can’t have books if you don’t have characters. They’re kind of a necessity. In this episode, we’re sharing the types of characters we love to read, along with some book recs where you can find those characters. Unreliable narrators, grumpy curmudgeons, and more - you won’t want to miss this one!

In this episode, we’re digging into audiobooks. The good, the bad, and everything in between. We share our favorite fiction and nonfiction audiobook recs, our thoughts on the controversy surrounding audiobooks, the pros and cons of audiobooks, and tips for how to get started with audiobooks. How many times can we say audiobooks in one episode description? To paraphrase Michael Scott, you have no idea how high we can fly.
