A longtime friend suggested I try #audiobooks from my local #library, then I discovered #Libby in my app store. Free audiobooks!!! I downloaded Hidden Figures tonight, to enjoy tomorrow.

My recommendation is to play the sample of the book before you check it out or purchase it — not to see if you like the story, but to see if you like the narrator. A bad narrator ruins an audiobook.

If there’s a narrator you particularly like, there’s usually a way to tap on their name to see what other titles they’ve done.
