Audio Book Extravaganza

At the end of 2019 and beginning of 2020, I tried my hand at audio book narration. I love audio books. And I loved narrating. Unfortunately, life circumstances have dictated that I put narration on hold. I'll write up the tips that I found the most useful, but that might take a while. If you like listening to audio books, here are the four books that I managed to produce during that time. If you have considered signing up with Audible, you can sign up and get one of these books as part of your free trial.

If you're already on audible, then I'd be flattered if you gave any of these books a listen. I think any of them are worth your time.

2,489 Motivational Inspirational Quotes to Change Your Life Forever for Teens, Adults and Thinkers

This book is just what it says. nearly 2500 motivational quotes. I really enjoyed recording this book and the quotes from C.S. Lewis, Ghandi, Maya Angelou and many other historical and popular figures. One unexpected result was that  it inspired me to listen to others a bit more. I've since recorded many powerful quotes from people that I know and love around me.

This fun story about three sisters healing their relationship through cooking and competition was one of the last books I recorded. It's got some great comic moments, and if you're a fan of cooking shows like Nailed It, or Chopped, then you'll probably find something here you enjoy.

Communication Secrets: How To Be Your Best Self And Build Fruitful And Lasting Relationships With Others

When I started narrating, I felt like it would be a good chance to read some positive motivational and self help books. I was right. This one was easy to read and has an approachable style. Definitely some great information here. 

The Best Husband Award Goes To Me: How To Be A Better Husband And Learn To Recognize The Mistakes You Make, Change The Way You Treat Your Wife And Make Her Fall In Love With You Again

This final book is a hard one for me. I narrated it as I was going through a difficult divorce. That makes the subject matter and title a bit awkward, I'll admit. I didn't write it. But I did read it. I chose this book because I wanted to know, "What's wrong with me?" and "Where did I screw up?" It was a powerful read for me, and difficult under the circumstances. I think I'm a better person now, and can easily recommend this book for those who are looking at themselves introspectively.
