Lenah is an avid reader through print and, due to the busy home life that three kids with extracurriculars, she has learned to love the convenience of audiobooks through our Libby app. She reads: Romance, Thrillers, Murder Mystery Romance, Fantasy Romance and balances out her falling in love books with some non fiction enlightenment books.
