Even though I am not out of the dissertation race just yet (just a few more weeks, folks!), I am already itching for something new to work on. A month ago I came across a tweet from Jen at The Literate Housewife, who was looking for bloggers to review audiobooks for The Armchair Audies. The Armchair Audies is basically a reading challenge where bloggers from around the web review the nominations within a category of the Audies, awards for audiobooks. Because I commute thrice a week to work, and because I still haven’t fixed my radio, I started listening to audiobooks on my iPhone to keep me entertained on my hour-long trip. I thought this challenge would be a nice way to find new audiobooks to check out. The category I have chosen to review is the Biography/Memoir category; it seems the genre I gravitate towards lately is biographies read by the authors, but only three of the five books nominated are read by their authors. Let’s see how it goes.
