We're just a day away from potatoes, turkeys, and pies... which means that some of us may be spending quite a while in the kitchen, peeling, stuffing, and mixing. Listen to an audio book while your hands are busy cooking! If you have 2 hours, pick up a classic such as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland or The Princess Bride by William Goldman. In 3 hours (the time it takes to roast a 10 pound turkey), you can get in A Bear Called Paddington by Michael Bond or A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. Listen to Holidays on Ice by David Sedaris in 4 hours or Family Affair, a simple, cozy romance from Debbie Macomber, in 2.5 hours. Good luck on the turkey, and enjoy the holiday! |
