January 2022 Audiobook Reviews

Happy New Year! I know that’s a little late..a lot late, but this is my first post of the year, so it’s time. Thanks to COVID we’ve entered the year with a bang. Despite all the advice to avoid travel, I didn’t. I traveled over Christmas, came home to a bunch of snow, and then hopped on a plane a week later. That trip was to Denver for my niece Megan’s baby shower. I’m so glad I went and the I managed not to get sick. Since that trip, I’ve mostly stayed close to home. Through it all, I’ve managed to get quite a bit of reading done, so am sharing audiobooks today and will share books I read in print on Thursday. I hope you’ll find a few you like.

There’s a lot of variety in the audiobooks I listened to this month, both nonfiction and fiction. The great news is I liked them all!…
