Why We Love It

If you know your loved one likes audio books, or is more interested in them now that they’re in need of more restful distraction, Jadey recommends getting them a subscription to Audible. Listening to audiobooks really passes the time, whether they’re a caregiver in the waiting room, or sitting through treatment. In terms of specific recommendations, the rumors are true: memoirs where the author reads their own work are often the best type of audiobook. Author Jean Hannah Edelstein recommends Prince Harrys’ Spare because Harry teaching himself to grocery shop was so different from her experience. We can also recommend memoirs by Britney Spears (read by Michelle Williams), Keith McNally, Lenny Kravitz, Andre Agassi (if you won’t be jealous of all his energy), and Cher.
