Old habits die hard, they say. How right they are.
I am a novel freak and have been since the 4th grade when I read an amazing novel that started me down the road of reading.
The thrill of reading stayed with me all the way through my education, going to college and even when I started my career. I didn't quit even when I got married and had my first beautiful daughter.
But as you would expect, as I climb higher in my career and the kids increase from 1 to 3, I am beginning to have less time to spend doing what I loved so much--reading novels.
Being a die-hard at anything I do, I continued to read novels, albeit, sadly, I took 3 months
to read just one novel, instead of the 3 or so hours it used to take me when I had more time.
I would read a chapter today, put the novel aside. Read another chapter in 2 weeks time when I had free time on my hands. Read another chapter in another 2 or 3 weeks.This would go on until I finish just that one novel.
I didn't like this and I wanted a way of still getting the value of a full novel in three hours like it used to take me, not the three months it now takes me to complete just one novel.
I started asking for a way out.
Thankfully, there was a way out...
In audio books!
I pick the novel I want to buy and I receive it as an audio book. It contains all the same content, just as spoken word!
Now I don't have the limitations I used to have with "reading" my favorite novels.
I listen to my novel in audio book format when getting ready in the morning, getting dressed and working out. When I'm travelling to my office, I pick up from where I last stopped. During break at work, I also listen. And while I'm in my car on the way home from work I would finish the last few chapters off.
I would take around three hours to read a whole book.
Phew... how I love audio books for saving me so much time, yet still getting the same value!
