I seem to have been drawn to many memoirs this year, all alive and ever inspiring. I have 5 books to recommend. Two for their wild lives as famous artists, and three for a peek into a different culture. All books have themes of perseverance, hard earned life lessons, courage, words to live by, and inspiration, all told in the first person. I listened to all of these except for the last one. The beauty of audiobooks is getting to “read” so many books while walking. So if you want more exercise and reading, get an audiobook and get walking! A good book and a beautiful walk may be one of the best parts of your day. It’s definitely a highlight of mine.
