#AudiobooksintheTimeofCOVID:
Runs & walks with my 🐶 have ⬆️ big time due to #ShelterInPlace & #physicaldistancing. Audiobooks have provided a MUCH needed escape from all things #COVID19.
Willow and I have a list of a few recs from recent listens—and revisits!
Y’all ready?

Read this in years ago but revisited the “Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl” on audio. Selma Blair’s narration is sublime—so good!
Bored at home? Try 2+ years in a dank annex with 7 grown-ass people. And fear.
Yet Anne STILL had quick wit and jokes. Perspective anyone?

Okay—so disclaimer: I’m a HUGE JT fan so jumped at the short autobiographical “Break Shot.” Narrated by who? JT!
*thump*
(Me fainting with joy) But awake now & can say that I LOVED it. I had no idea his dad was a doctor. What a story—so eye-opening!
And he plays music!

My friend @DxRxEdu gifted this audiobook “Peak” to me (yes, that’s a thing) and let me just say 3 words:
Blew. My. Mind.
You want to get good at something? You want to keep growing? Check this out. I applied it directly to my #bedsideteaching practice (preCOVID.)
SO DOPE!

“Americanah” is like dessert for the mind. I admit my bias as a fan of most things Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie—but hearing her luscious words narrated? Best thing ever.
Just finishing this one. I will be so sad for it to end. I may start over. (I do that a lot with books.)🤷🏽♀️

Okay. So I read “The Kite Runner” hard copy two times in a row years ago. But then I returned to Khalid Hosseini narrating it and wept 3 times harder than I did when I read ir before.
Again—more perspective. Such elegant storytelling. So much heart.
Loved.

Another book I’d read before—but made new by the narration. “Angela’s Ashes” was a masterpiece. What a treat to learn that the late author had recorded an audio of it years ago!
You want a beautiful escape from the news? Give this a listen—even if you’ve read it already.

Zora Neale Hurston and Ruby Dee—at the same time? Don’t mind if I do!
Hurston saturates your brain with such decadent words that you have to keep pausing. But hearing Ruby Dee read them is a celebration of them all. I loved this story years ago. I love it more now.

Yes. I’ve been reading the literature on #COVID19 and following voraciously on #medtwitter.
But.
My mind yearns for diastole, too—the kind with good filling. I’ve discovered that adventures through books—old and new—do just that.
Yeah. 👊🏽🐶
We are open to your audio recs!
