Synopsis

We know there are certain things we must have to survive—food, shelter, and safety to name a few. But there are also aspects of life that truly allow us to be joyful and fulfilled. For popular podcaster and bestselling author Annie F. Downs, fun is close to the top of that list. Few would argue that having fun doesn't enrich our lives, but so much gets in the way of prioritizing it. Tough days, busyness, and feelings that are hard to talk about keep us from the fun that's out there waiting to be found.

With That Sounds Fun, Annie offers an irresistible invitation to understand the meaning of fun, to embrace it and chase it, and to figure out what, exactly, sounds fun to you—then do it! Exploring some research and sharing some thoughts behind why fun matters, she shows you how to find, experience, and multiply your fun. With her signature storytelling style and whimsical vulnerability, Annie is the friend we all need to guide us back to staying true to ourselves and finding the fun we need.

Contains content exclusive to the audiobook.

Goodreads review by Callie on February 05, 2021

I absolutely adore Annie and listen to her podcast faithfully. I grabbed this book the day it released and read the whole thing in less than 48 hours. Quick review? I loved it. However, it wasn’t the book I expected it to be. Annie’s podcasts make me laugh - her books make me think. This book is not......more

Goodreads review by Michelle on June 24, 2021

This book sounded like fun, but it wasn't. It was exhausting. It was like sitting in a coffee shop listening to someone talk and talk about themselves. I didn't identify with her needs and she didn't really use the Bible or her relationship with God to gain wisdom or share any wisdom. This was my fi......more

Goodreads review by Rae on February 09, 2024

Some individuals are better speakers than writers, and I found that to be the case with this book. To me, “That Sounds Fun” read like one long rambly Instagram post…complete with far too many “lol’s”, all caps declarations, and even the odd smiley face. I believe the goal was relateability, but for......more

Goodreads review by Virginia Perry on February 13, 2021

This was a thoughtful read. Annie’s storytelling makes it read like fiction, but there is profound truth in there about enjoying our lives and why we don’t prioritize that. Makes me want to start a new hobby...I’ve decided 2021 is the year I get really good at Gotcha/Knockout, see y’all on the court......more
