I hope you’re all having the happiest of new years! I hope you’re all enjoying the first challenge of the #DIYBookClub. I just finished The Giver and I’m now dying to watch the movie and to talk about the book with anyone I know!

Now, I know everyone reads at different speeds. One book a month may be perfect for some and it may sound measly to others. So I am going to add in a few bonus rounds each month for those who are wanting more on their plate.

The first bonus round will be:

Listen to an audiobook.

This may be simple for some of you. Maybe you do it all the time on your commute to work or on your iPod while running. I enjoy audiobooks but they are harder for me to squeeze in. So this is challenge for me, but one I’m excited to accept! I love humor and comedy writing. I love listening to humor audiobooks even more.

So this month, I am listening to Steve Martin’s Born Standing Up – his story (narrated by Steve himself) on how he began his stand-up career and how it lead to his lifetime of success.

I plan to listen anytime I am in the car by myself or just with my little guy (not my older one – not sure about the content for him). I’m not sure how long it will take me, but it is worth a try!

Is anyone else joining in? What are your favorite audiobooks to listen to?

And for those of you who plan ahead, I will be posting the entire year of monthly challenges this week.

Happy reading and happy listening!
