I decided to hold off on another audio book and dig through my growing pile of books I’ve got by my computer. I haven’t been feeling well (I hate PMS) so reading has been a good alternative.
So first I read a crazy romantic comedy called Double Trouble. Very smart-alecky. I loved it. I read that on Friday. Saturday I read a Charmed book admist some running around. It was one with Prue. Gosh I miss Prue! Today I read the first Anne and Todd McCaffrey colaboration and it was great! Dragon’s Kin. I love Pern books and am glad that there are some new ones. I’ve begun Dragonsblood early this evening before coming out to watch Charmed and a movie. This is the first Pern book not written by Anne, it’s writen by her son, Todd. And I only read about 60 pages, but it’s great. I’ll read it tomorrow.
I’ve burned State of Fear, six discs, for Sir Megabyte. He’s going to start listening to that tomorrow I guess. I still have two more sections to burn. They will probably be six discs each as well. So this is a long one. Hopefully he won’t finish it in a week like he did the last two! After this, we have no more audio books to burn. It’s a new month so we need to pick out a new two audiobooks to download. Hopefully we can find interesting but really LONG ones because my husband is catching up too fast. ROFL.
I can’t believe he finished Prey in a week. I think he cheats and doesn’t just listen while he drives. HEHE Cheater!! They are supposed to be for your COMMUTE! *snickers*

re audio books
have ya’ll checked the local libraries? I used the Johnson County Library system – can look up stuff and reserve (aka hold) online (as well as renew and such). And I know they carry cd’s in addition to the audio tapes.
Just a thought because ya know – library is free and all.

Have you read any of the Charmed books? This one was Kiss of Darkness. It was great. 🙂 It was Prue-centric! Prue was kissing men with wild amandon possessed by a trapped couple hundred year old warlock 🙂

I haven’t bothered our local library here. It’s so hard to get a bloody book from them, I haven’t even looked into their audio stuff.
As for our last library, it was like insane. They didn’t seperate their audiobooks by genre. They were just in there on all these bookcases. We never could find anything when we would go look.
Much easier to do it online. Then I don’t have to leave my house. 🙂 Besides, I signed up for it trying to get a free ipod. *GRINS* I only make the CDs for hubby for his carride. Since you can’t wear earphones while driving.

Re: re audio books
all I know is I luv the library system here – and hearing stories from people elsewhere makes me understand why the johnson county public library keeps getting ranked as one of the best libraries for its population base in the country!

Re: re audio books
You must have a good library! Columbus’s library ranked number 2. For good reason. Though I quickly learned that while you could easily get just about every book you ever wanted… it was much easier to reserve online. You don’t know how many times I’d go to my local branch and would be like “You have 82 copies of this book and none are here????” ROFL. I got to the point where i reserved the book online and then went and picked it up two days later. Much easier and only one trip to the library.
That library spoiled me. So big time spoiled me.
The library here isn’t all bad. I probably made it sound hideous. As a kid it was great. I wore out my library card. Seriously, wore it out. Had to get a new one. I actually have a book that I bought from one of their book sales. The librarian saw it was going on the book sale and called my house and told us because we’d checked it out like 12 times. I love that book. The kids love it and it’s impossible to get now. Yay!
But the problem is that 20 years ago, the library was great for the population size. However in the last 10 years we’ve had a HUGE population boom and NOTHING has kept up. The last five years being the biggest part of the population boom. I kid you not. We went from being the secret bedroom community to having a population of about 250k that use that library system. It’s still a library for a community less than half that size.
Once it catches up, I’m sure it will be good. But now, if the book is remotely new or desirable you are on the wait list for months. I signed up for Davinci Code when I moved here in June. You don’t even want to know how far back I still am. It’s scary.
It makes it real rough after coming from Columbus. That library spoiled me. *SIGH* So I’ve pretty much just given up on using the library. When we move north, we’ll see how those libraries are faring. *shrug* Cause I love my library usage!
