Audio books are great. I have listened to one science book and half a true crime book ( Narcos ) this year already. My mind feels refreshed and I don't feel guilty for not reading. 🤓I have also read 3 chapters of an art book from Tate Gallery.

I totally recommend audio books. 👍

Because you mentioned it the other day I started listening to a true crime book. I've heard most of the stories but it was good because they were short 15 minute chapters. ☺

I really enjoy them too. I haven’t listened to much non fiction, so can’t recommend any. But I recently finished Daisy Jones and the Six. It’s a perfect book for audio, as it’s a story told from the perspective of different characters and each has a different narrator, works really well.
