Story

I am challenging myself to listen to seven audiobooks during June in celebration of the Queen's jubilee, each book being one that has been published throughout the years that the Queen has reigned. The books I have chosen total around 82 hours of listening time and I am also going to write and record audio reviews of them to be used on Calibre's socials and website.

I am doing this to raise money for Calibre Audio as being an avid reader I cannot imagine a world where I would not be able to enjoy a book. I am so grateful that Calibre exists for all the thousands of people who need it and I want to do what I can to ensure it continues for all those people who may require its services one day, including me. Reading is so important for pleasure, escapism and for keeping your mind active and in the words of Ernest Hemingway "There is no friend as loyal as a book".

Calibre Audio is a charity that provides a completely free for life audiobook service to everyone with a disability that makes reading print difficult or impossible. Members enjoy 13,000+ unabridged audiobooks with unlimited borrowing through digital streaming, download, or on memory stick.
