October is here and it’s officially Fall!
What’s new in my bookish world? Audiobooks have recently found their way into my reading time and I absolutely love it! I’ve worn hearing aids since I was in 2nd grade and have gotten a new set every few years as my ears grew and the technology improved.
My most recent set of hearing aids have the latest technology and want to know the best part? They pair with Bluetooth to my phone now!! Which means I’m able to listen to audiobooks directly into my ear, so now I can listen to books when I’m getting ready for work, doing laundry, and making dinner. Last month 5 of the 10 books I read were audiobooks!
Scroll on to check out all the new bookish goodness this month!
