Audio Books

It is a great moment when you start a new book – but frustrating if you have to leave it for a car journey or a long day cleaning out the shed. There is music and the radio but for me, nothing beats an audiobook to while away the time on a boring journey or task.

I generally download something that I do not want to read as a hard copy and so often it is a thriller or perhaps a classic that I have loved. Timothy West reading Anthony Trollope is a complete joy.

A subscription to an online audio book company will bring books to your computer, phone or iPad or you can buy boxed sets of CDs so they can be lent to others – especially children’s books. Again, these can be bought on line or from bookshops such as The White Horse Bookshop.
