The Best Audiobooks For Your Reading Life


Listen Later

Fall in love with these book recommendations for the best audiobooks for your next reading day. Meg, from Sorta Awesome, joined the show to share her top recommendations and why they hit the sweet spot in her reading life. This book stack has everything you crave- deeply personal memoirs, science fiction (sci-fi),  young adult reads, and pure escapist fun.

We start our discussion with our audiobook habits, speeds, and what I’ve learned from our guests about staying engaged with your audiobook literature.

If you struggle to stay focused during your audiobook time, don’t miss today’s show with some surprising tricks to keep your brain engaged. These audiobook reading hacks helped me to engage with our book club books in new ways this year.

Don’t miss Meg’s recommendation on one of this year’s award winners (for the Audie Awards) or my selections with full cast narration that kept me engaged from start to finish.

Get to Know Meg

Meg Tietz should be a very familiar voice to many of you. She runs a top women's lifestyle podcast called Sorta Awesome for women who want to stay current on all things awesome, including culture, media, and trending conversations! 

Meg first created Sorta Awesome in 2015, after closing her popular blog, Sorta Crunchy. Sorta Awesome has over three million downloads from thousands of awesome listeners.

They also run a very active community in the show’s private Facebook group, the Sorta Awesome Hangout. There is so much to love about Meg and this show, and I'm so honored to have her in our space today.
