During our five week winter break I took it upon myself to read more and listen to audiobooks in order to expand my perspective of spirituality, life, love and travel, and to feed my imagination. To my surprise I found several books that provided me with wild imagery and life changing messages. Apps like Audible and Hoopla are great audiobook providers that cost little to no money where you can access hundreds of books from many genres. If you’re like me and don’t have as much time for full novels, try reading some enticing short stories from any genre using the Wattpad app. You’re sure to find something you like.
