I truly don’t know why it took me so long to get into audiobooks, but listening to titles through Libro.fm and Libby has hugely transformed my reading habits. When I was in the hospital for two weeks, I listened to nearly a dozen audiobooks while I played games on my Switch, texted friends and family, and did exercises in my room. I loved feeling like I could both take in a story (something I love doing, but can’t always manage the concentration to do by reading with my eyes) and spend virtual time with my loved ones, especially on days I was particularly homesick.

My reading was a little slow in April, but definitely picked up in May thanks to audiobooks. In addition to the books below, many of which I listened to, I’d also like to mention Plain Jane and the Mermaid and Blood City Rollers, both of which I reviewed for The Beat, and Loving, Ohio, which I reviewed last month.
