Happy New Year! 2020 is going to be awesome!
In the meantime, if you need to start your resolutions with "reading" more books, why not try an audio book? There's so many ways you can reach out and read.
1. Audible
Of course audible.com is the most popular place to purchase audio books. It has a massive collection.
You read me right, however. I did say purchase. Audible will give you a free book to try, but you'll need a credit card and an account.
2. Librivox
This is one of my favourite sites and my favourite apps. Librivox is out of Quebec and for almost two decades have been collecting a massive library of public domain books.
Some of the most favourite have been read by a number of different voice actors. So if you pick a book, have a listen to the narrator and find one that's good for you!
https://librivox.org/
By the way Librivox is a free app as well!
3. Podiobooks/Scribbl
This place used to be called Podiobooks, and is now called Scribbl. It's a great source of new authors and new novels. There are some amazing up and coming authors.

4. The Library
Halifax Libraries have been working on creating a large collection of audio book downloads. The only challenge is that they use a very specific product that requires a few more
steps to be able to use. But if you have favourite books you want to check out, here might be your place!
