Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge: Audiobooks I've Enjoyed

 


The Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge is hosted by Long and Short Reviews. They offer this blog hop as a weekly prompt to help you gain new friends and visitors. You don't have to participate every week, but if you decide to post and join the blog hop for a week, Long and Short Reviews requests that you share your link in their weekly post on their website (which will be the top post on the home page each Wednesday morning). The link list remains open for new links for 48 hours. Visit the other bloggers participating to see what they discuss that week. Comments are appreciated. 

Welcome back to Wednesday! What a week it has been: back-to-back meetings, two accepted offers in three days, and showings. I will be catching up on visiting your blogs today. 

This week's Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge asks us to share audiobooks we have enjoyed. I tend to listen to business books, self-help, and professional development books on Audible. Chirp has books I listen to for fun. 


A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens is one of my favorite Christmas stories. Hugh Grant's voice makes it all the better. 


Many years ago, when a group of Dean Butler fans suggested he write a memoir, we had no idea he would actually write one. Prairie Man: My Little House Life & Beyond by Dean Butler is a wonderful read for any fan of the show. 


I had never read The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett until it turned into our first Modern Prairie book club read. What a wonderful story!


Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life by Arnold Schwarzenegger is filled with helpful advice. Such a great book!


Rob Dial, author of Level Up, allows his energy and charisma to shine through as he narrates his book. 

Have you listened to any of these books? What are some of your favorite audiobooks?

    Ah, I love A Christmas Carol, Cheryl. I've heard a few versions over the years but never that one. I'll add it to my list! 😊😊

    A Christmas Carol was on my list, too. I listen to it again every December. :)

    Dean Butler! I did not know about "Prairie Man: My Little House Life & Beyond." I loved the books and the show.

    Thank you for sharing 💚

      I need to listen to Patrick Stewart's version, Stephen. I loved him in the TV movie where he starred as Scrooge. Thanks for stopping by.

    I could probably be more patient with audiobooks. Anyway I'd like to read Dean Butler's recollections. As I recall he didn't get much of a role in the TV show relative to the books.
