Too busy to get through these books in print? Try listening to them via Audible! Sign up for Audible Premium Plus and you get up to two books free! I not only use Audible to multi-task at home, but when traveling I love listening to books while I walk around the location/s the story takes place.

I visited Columbus, Ohio, where I picked up the book My Life and Hard Times by James Thurber from the indepentent bookstore The Book Loft, visited the James Thurber house museum, and Thurber's grave, where a statue of his dog Muggs has been installed. <br /><br />Thurber was the foremost humor writer of the 20th century and he has some very funny stories that take place in the house that is now a museum and one about his dog Muggs.  <br /><br />Music: From YouTube Audio Library<br /><br />Connect with me:<br />BLOG: https://asuitcasefullofbooks.com <br />FACEBOOK: http://facebook.com/BooksInMySuitcase <br />INSTAGRAM: https://instagram.com/asuitcasefullof... <br />TWITTER: https://twitter.com/suitcaseofbks <br />SUPPORT MY WORK: https://ko-fi.com/asuitcasefullofbooks
