Listening to @NinaTotenberg reading "Dinners with Ruth: A Memoir on the Power of Friendship" prompted me to just pick up the damn phone and call my best friend after far too long. Thanks for that, Ms. T @SimonAudio

Beautiful testament to the art of #audiobooks. And yes, @lizzhuerta is right, @rmilesvox voice is a miracle.

We're 7 days out from #screenfreeweek. What a great time to introduce adults to the #largeprint format. Give eyes digital break and more room to "breathe."
#ScreenFreeWeek is only two weeks away! Get in the screen-free spirit with this blog by Lauren Koslow, who reminds us that SFW is a great chance to reconnect with life beyond digital devices for people of all ages. screenfree.org/screen-freedo…
I get so excited when I see more audiobooks available on @NetGalley, like this from @Dreamscapeaudio via @ALA_Booklist ala-publishing.informz.net/i…
🌟 Wish You Were Here read by @MarinIreland "Ireland reads with compassion as Diana flounders through a world turned on its head."
booklistonline.com/Wish-You-… @PRHAudio
🌟 Call Us What We Carry: Poems, read by author @TheAmandaGorman
"To hear Gorman read is like hearing songwriters play their music as the only people to do their work justice and convey its full meaning."
booklistonline.com/Call-Us-W… @PRHAudio
🌟 Ain't Burned All the Bright read by author @JasonReynolds83 and a full cast "...one of the most inventive recent audiobook adaptations/presentations: the book gets read twice, first by Reynolds alone, then by a full cast. "
booklistonline.com/Ain-t-Bur… @SimonAudio @SIBookDragon
🌟 The Nineties read by author @CKlosterman and Dion Graham "Klosterman, in one line, encapsulates the vibe of the decade: “It was a confusing time to care about things.”"
booklistonline.com/The-Ninet…
🌟 All The Flowers Kneeling read by author Paul Tran. "So expressive is Tran’s narration that even facial expressions translate..."
booklistonline.com/All-the-F… @PRHAudio
🌟 Yonder, narrated by a full cast "Each of the remarkable, seasoned performers seems well aware how the stunning beauty of Asim’s lyrical writing ironically serves to amplify the brutality woven throughout."
