Audiobooks are a great way to maximize commute times. I drive about 20 minutes to work and audiobooks make those miles interesting. They also give me a chance to listen to books I've been meaning to read, but haven't quite gotten around to. (ie. The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt).
But here are a few audiobooks that I've really enjoyed:
The Aviator's Wife by Melanie Benjamin. A fictionalized account from Charles Lindbergh's wife, Anne Morrow.
The Radium Girls: The Dark Story of America's Shining Girls by Kate Moore. This is a heartbreaking look back at the uses of radium and their effects on the women employed in factories to use it.
The Sleepwalker by Chris Bohjalian. This is a book of suspense and mystery. It will keep you driving (around the block just so you can finish the next chapter)!
Kitchens of the Great Midwest by J. Ryan Stradal. I didn't expect much when I started listening to this book, but it is a wonderful story. (And full of recipes too!)
If you want to give audiobooks a try, or if you're looking for your next book, try one of these!
