I was very happy to see that many of the downloadable audio books from my library are now iPod compatible so I was able to finally use them with my Nano instead of a cheesy mp3 player.  This series caught my eye. I haven’t read Kate Wilhelm before but I always like recurring character novels [...]

I’m reading the last of my unread Carol Goodman books, The Sonnet Lover. (She’s one of my favorite authors and I’ve read all of her works so far.)

I love Carol Goodman’s books and I’m sure that this one will be no different. As always there’s a water element to everything I’ve read so far.
