Try listening to an audiobook while driving, working out, walking your dog, or doing chores. \u00a0One of my first audiobook experiences was listening to Harry Potter while driving to work. \u00a0It made my formerly dull drive so entertaining that I looked forward to getting back into the car. \u00a0I also love listening to audiobooks while working out or folding laundry.<\/p>\n

\nIf you\u2019re a new audiobook listener, I recommend selecting either an Odyssey Award<\/a> winner (best audiobook award) or try a popular audiobook narrator. \u00a0Two of my favorites are Jim Dale and Katherine Kellgren. \u00a0Jim Dale is most well known for his reading of the Harry Potter series; Kellgren is an award-winning audiobook narrator of many young adult and middle grade books including L.A. Meyer\u2019s Bloody Jack series and the Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place.<\/p>\n
