My First Audiobook Experience

April 5, 2023 By D'Ann Mateer

I know we’ve had several posts lately about audiobooks, but since I am brand new to audiobooks, I’d thought I’d share my experience.  My husband joined the audiobook bandwagon about six months ago—when he started getting a free audiobook a month with a periodical subscription.
