A Book Recommendation!

Book with pages in the shape of a heart

I am an avid audiobook listener. I love to learn. I love to read all sorts of books, both fiction and non-fiction. Audiobooks are a way that I read while also doing less exciting tasks like kitchen cleanup, folding laundry, etc. (it makes those tasks something I can actually look forward to).
