Life Would Be Perfect . . . now an audio book!

Written by Meghan Daum | 15 October 2011

Finally! You can experience my book without going to the trouble to read it!

LifePerfectAudio

Back in July I spent nearly 20 hours in the studio recording my the audio version of Life Would Be Perfect If I Lived In That House and it’s finally out! It was a valuable learning experience in that I realized a) I use the word “particularly” a lot (and it’s kind of hard to say out loud) b) there are only so many words for moulding (such as “moulding”) and c) there’s a fine line between eating enough food before the recording session that your stomach isn't growling but not so much that you get those little belching sounds. TMI, I know. But Life Would Be Perfect is like that, you know?

It's available from Audible.com and you can buy it right here.
