Sometimes stalling is the best way to enjoy the moment.

Have you ever started listening to an audiobook while doing something productive, only to realize ten minutes later that you’ve been standing completely still, in the same exact spot, holding the same dish/dumbbell/grocery bag you had to begin with?

Some books are just that good!

We want to know: what books have made you taskstall?

🙃

Write what you know (or imagine.)

Complimentary for you.

This is a breath of fresh air.

I’d like to join one of these clubs.

The book club is getting an audio makeover.

Lately, more readers have been taking the conversation outside. Audiobook walking clubs are on the rise, and just last month, Reese’s Book Club and Apple Books announced a new round of Story Walk events built around listening, movement, and post-walk discussion.

Audiobooks already move with us, and now book club culture is starting to do the same. A walk, a good listen, and a little time to talk about it after. Not a bad update, if you ask us!

Would you join an audiobook walking club?

What an artist, what a man.

Go into the arts. I'm not kidding. The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something. ~Kurt Vonnegut
