I Read the First 4 Months Away

I have been listening to so many audiobooks as I make my 20-30 minute commute between work and home each day. I use the library’s website to keep a constant stream of audiobooks and ebooks in my wishlist and on my hold list. When I hear or read about a book I want to read, the first thing I do is look for it on Amazon because I have the little add on that then tells me if my library has it in the various formats and gives me a button to click to request it for hold or check it out on the spot in the case of electronic versions.

You might wonder why I bother to look them up on Amazon instead of going straight to the library website to look them up and be done with it. Well, you see I can find them faster because the Amazon search engines are much more forgiving than the library search. Also if the library doesn’t have it then I add it to my wishlist for future reference. The wishlist is not to be confused with the gift list because I am not hoping to be gifted a copy but rather to be able to remember with name and author of the book should I ever need to look for it at a later time. The thing that makes this wonderous search possible is the Library Extension. I highly recommend it and find it very useful. The best thing is that it is FREE!

Please see below the covers of the 52 books I have read so far this year. If you have any recommendations on books you think I should read, feel free to leave them in the comments below or send them to me via email or social media. All the links are in the top right-hand corner of each page on this site.
