Do You Want to be Transported by Audiobooks?
I love listening to audiobooks when I am doing menial tasks. I have this internal battle between whether I should be focused on staying present in the moment, or whether its okay to layer my hobby (reading books) on top of what actually needs to be done. Sometimes I find myself partially present while listening to an audiobook. But other times the story really transports me to a different world and I completely lose track of what I am doing in the 3D. Here are 5 audiobooks I listened to recently that transported me to a different world.
American Dirt
I loved listening to American Dirt by Jeanine Cummins on a weekend when I had a lot of housework to do. I finished the whole book in two days. As I person who loves books, I related instantly to the character Lydia, a bookshop owner in Acapulco, Mexico. I couldn’t imagine the journey she went on to find freedom.
This book took me on a trip to Mexico where Lydia was being chased by a cartel. It moved back and forth in time, weaving the story together in a captivating way.
I didn’t realize until after I finished the book how controversial it became. I only had a quick read…
