Modern life isn’t always book friendly, you know? You can’t take your book into the shower with you, or read while you’re at the gym; you can’t turn pages and focus on paragraphs when you’re busy cleaning (more’s the pity) and reading while driving is obviously a total no-go. Until you discover audiobooks that is.
Making it possible to read anywhere on a plethora of devices, we’re offering you the opportunity to win your Audible wishlist with a whopping 10 credits up for grabs!
Simply email kerry@writingtipsoasis.com with the name of the audiobook you would listen to first and a winner will be chosen this time next week. Need some inspiration? Take a look at Audible’s bestsellers and new releases, or choose from some of our current favourites below.
