This week for What to Read Wednesday I have something a little different for you. We might want to call it What to Listen To Wednesday because this week’s book is an Audible Original that you can only get on Audible.
When you sign up for Audible you get 2 free Audible Originals every month in addition to one audio book credit every month. Effectively you get 3 books for the price of one! It’s a great deal. And if you’re busy like me sometimes when you try to sit down to read at night you can only get a few sentences in before you start reading the inside of your eyelids. So listening to audio books while cooking or cleaning has been a great way to get my reading in. I highly recommend Audible. It’s been awesome so far
And I have loved the Audible Originals, especially the one I’m recommending today. Rivals: Frenemies Who Changed the World by Scott McCormick. It’s a nonfiction history book that explores different rivalries in history that had an impact on culture, laws, and science. I found the book really interesting and an easy listen. Even if you’re not a history buff you will like this book. Everything is explained in an easy to understand way.
 
The fun thing about the Audible Originals is that there are sound effects that add to the listening experience. More like a radio program than just having a book read to you. That’s exactly how this book is too!
It’s also a quick listen, just under 3 hours, and I found it mostly without bias except for in the case of Burr and Hamilton but I will let you decide for yourself. So will you be trying out Audible and their original productions? Let us know in the comments below.

Today I have a delicious vegan recipe everyone will enjoy; Coconut Creamed Corn.
I was inspired to make this from a recipe I saw on Healthyish, part of Bon Apetite. In their version they use quinoa or farrow as a grain, I use rice. Among other tweaks I made to the recipe I feel comfortable enough sharing my version of their recipe. The great thing about it is it’s vegan so everyone can enjoy the dish! It would be a great thing to make and bring to your family meals and cookouts. And is the perfect dish to use the bounteous fresh corn at the markets right now. 
When I told my husband I was making coconut creamed corn he was not looking forward to it. But upon tasting it he was hooked and messaging his family in Ecuador about it. My 4 year old also loved it! So I think these testimonies speak for themselves as to the delicious nature of the recipe. So will you be giving it a try? Let us know in the comments below!

Question: Do you like being scared? Maybe not in an actual scary situation but the thrill of a scary movie or a ghost story around the campfire. If you answered "Yes!" then I have the book for you.
It's not a new book, but a classic children's books with stories scary enough to get the hairs on the back of your neck to stand up, but still have a peaceful sleep afterwards. Scary Stories to Tell In The Dark by Alvin Schwartz is the book you need. Not only are the stories spine-tingling but the illustrations add to the creepy sensation. Stephen Gammell's illustrations in the original editions are perfect. How else can I describe them? The fact that they're only in black and white and are realistic but also dreamlike nature to them, adds so fully to the readers experience. This is a book you have to physically read and enjoy for that reason.
