Last year, I read 53 books. Some were very short, others were very long, but I averaged about a book a week. Many of my books were audio books.
I am weird. I wake up around 4:00 in the morning and often I can't go back to sleep. Sometimes if I put on an audiobook, and set the sleep timer for 30 minutes, the sound of the narrator's voice will lull me back to sleep for another hour or so before it is time to get up for the day. I also started listening to books on my commute. I drive about 20 minutes to work and 20 minutes home, which is about 40 extra minutes of 'reading' a day. Some people call audio books cheating, but the story is still vividly in my mind and it is very motivating to log my books each week on Goodreads. My reading goal this year is about the same. Sometimes on long road trips, my husband and I will start an audio book together, we have listened to Stephen King's It, and Under the Dome. We have also listened to 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami. Reading is one of my favorite hobbies. I enjoy it so much. Do you read a lot? Do you have any suggestions?
