My Life Before and After Audio Books

No doubt about it.

I am a book lover.

I love books and have been reading since I was a kid. My parents made sure they instilled the love of books in me.

Reading was fun to me. It was something I would do, not because I had to get good grades in school, but because I just loved to.

Like you would expect, I carried this love for books into my adulthood.

Now that I have two kids, I still read. My love for books is so great that I am on my way to instilling the same love into my kids too.

I used to try to read to my kids EVERY night before they go to bed, no matter how tired I am.

I didn't expect it to, but I always get very tired while reading to my kids at night. In many occasions I have even fallen asleep before my kids right while I'm reading to them!

Deep within me I could see that there just wasn't any way I could keep up with the habit of always reading to my kids each night.

I was still battling for a way out when I discovered AUDIO BOOKS!

Eureka... the savior had arrived.

Six weeks after my first contact with audio books, my dilemma has ended.

I have added many more hours to my life because of audio books.

How?

During the 2 hours my kids nap, I listen to an audio book.

An hour after my kids fall asleep, I listen to an audio book.

Total time gained with audio books is 3 incredibly educative hours in the afternoons and in the evenings.

Secondly, instead of spending the 1/2 hour reading to my kids each night when I am tired, I play an audio book for them instead. Somehow I discovered that they seem to prefer the audio books to my reading.

I think I heard my daughter mumbling about how the voice from the audio book is "more awake than mom's". This shows you how sleepy I get at certain nights while reading to my kids.

Now... aren't audio books wonderful?

If you have had similar problems to me, you can gain back your time by taking advantage of the amazing value of audio books.

The fact that most of the best-selling titles now come in audio book format make it far more interesting.
