Listen to the first few chapters of an audiobook before reading the physical book

It’s best to dip your toe in before you jump into the middle of deep water. I always find myself dragged down by the first couple chapters of a book and sadly don’t continue because I’m treading water. This may be a result of a worsening attention span BUT if I listen to the first few chapters on youtube, Spotify, audible, or libby I feel I have enough to venture out on my own with the real book!

Getting into audiobooks

I love reading but never saw myself as an audiobook girl. I also listen to so many podcasts (which I love…) that entertain me but don’t teach me things. Working on focusing my energy towards learning more, reading more! Might as well if I always have headphones in. This is a new development but I‘ve already found myself eager to listen to new books I typically wouldn’t buy or grab from the library! also: if you don’t have the Libby app and a library card, change that immediately. imagine paying $20 for a book you only listen to!!!!

Reading with the accompaniment of the audiobook

It makes it feel more like a movie when I can also hear the narrator. Plus, I'm a bit lazy and audiobooks allow me to put down the book and still hear the story.
