You must have great stamina. :-)<br /><br />The only short audiobook I recall reading was Long Way Down by Jason Reynolds (1 hour, 44 minutes). I actually tend to seek out long audiobooks because I commute 2 hours a day for work and need something that's going to last me a few days.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-51743951226051509122019-04-14T16:38:08.570-06:002019-04-14T16:38:08.570-06:00What a great way to get longer walks in!

I feel terrible saying this, but Linda Sue Park's books always sound really EARNEST and EDUCATIONAL to me, which means I've never picked one up. I think she's even a local author. <br /><br />My son and I just took a seven minute walk (the library wasn't open yet) and saw some red winged blackbirds and lots of ducks. <br /><br />I just sorted my GR list by length, scrolled through a ton of picture books, and came up with these short books you might like. I don't know if they're all on audio, but probably. <br />Darkness Visible by William Styron<br />Nightjohn by Gary Paulsen (but I think you read this too?)<br />Every Living Thing by Cynthia Rylant<br />Fatty Legs by Christy Jordan Fenton<br />A Room of One's Own by Virginia Woolf<br />Seedfolks by Paul Fleischman<br />Keesha's House by Helen Frost<br />A Room with a View by E. M. Forster<br />Cloaked in Red by Vivian Vande Velde<br />Don't You Dare Read this Mrs. Dunphry by Margaret Peterson Haddix<br />Truly Grim Tales by Priscilla Galloway<br />and two shorter books my students always love when I read aloud: Orbiting Jupiter (Schmidt) and Girl, Stolen (Henry).<br />Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06296827820807569574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-8080287639448937692019-04-14T10:02:09.118-06:002019-04-14T10:02:09.118-06:00These walks you do are incredible.

The series I am listening to right now is really long. Not fantasy book long, but around 12 hours per book, and I could read it a lot faster.
