The month before Christmas! Ok- sorry- did not want to bring that up just yet. Would you feel better if I rephrased that to ‘Welcome to Scorpio Month!’ Powerful energy my friends (I should know I’m surrounded by them- gotta love’em!). But the thing I really love about November? That extra one hour of sleep and up nice and early- no problem!
Are you a November ‘Fall-back’ hater or lover?
Let’s talk fashion, shall we! Fashion books that is! No no this is not a review post (coming soon). Today, I wanted to talk to you about how I go about selecting great books to read. Well actually, to listen to – y’all know I only do Audible these days;)
Here are my tips for selecting great books to read on Audible:
1- Head on over to your nearest book store and browse- for awhile…until you find the books that you think you’d really like to read.
2- From there, snap some pics, so you can remember the titles and what the book covers look like. You can even jot notes in your phone.
3- Go home and download on Audible! I could just do the browsing online right- why bother taking the trip to the bookstore, you might wonder? I think it’s important, because I need to see if the book contains any important info such as maps and images or illustrations! I may need them for my teaching or personal reference; at which point I may decide I’d be better off with the hard copy.
Mind you…Audible says that there’s a pdf that usually comes with every download- BUT for the life of me I can’t find where it downloads!!
If you KNOW, CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME!- Thanks!
Here’s my selection so far of what I’m planning to read (not all at the same time!)…slowly but surely. In no particular order:
I’ll keep you posted! Make sure to tune in this coming MOnday for my Collaboration with my Fashionista Friends on STYLISH MONDAY!

The jacket is vintage! And the photo is at my daughter’s house- it was our family piano and she played!
That jacket is splendid! I have never listened to a book on audio: can you believe that!

Love the colors in the jacket, and with the lighter denim, very cool. I haven’t read many fashion books, other than the Devil Wears Prada! lol. Good idea about Audible, hubby listens but I haven’t checked it out yet.
Have a great weekend Lucy!

Oh Audible is fantastic! I’m totally hooked. Thanks!
Thanks for the feature. That was a nice suprise. I feel so honored.
Love your style!
I really like that beautiful jacket! I like browsing books in person too, although I don’t buy them as I always browse and borrow at the library, haha! I’ve tried audible but I prefer reading the page so I just borrow the books from the library or my house would be overrun with books, ha!
Hope that you are having a good weekend! It’s a cold and wet day here! Thanks for the link up!
Thanks Mica! I know what you mean- but now I’m hooked on Audible! Have a great week!
Great tips on Audible! I only recently started using it and while I still like to actually read, it’s nice to use it to find time to read more books each month!
I enjoy it thoroughly and can keep doing things as I listen- so perfect for me. Enjoy it!
I’m so honored to have been featured, Lucy! Thank you! I love love love your jacket! Totally cute outfit. Excellent way to keep track of titles you want to read. I also have a folder in Pinterest for books whenever someone recommends them.
