My new audio book is The Host by Stephenie Meyer, author of the Twilight Series. I’m just about to start it and I’m not sure if I’ll be as hooked as I was on Twilight but we’ll see. I have lots of yard work ahead of me and audio books fit the bill.

Current Read: Gossamer

I enjoy reading children’s literature and Lois Lowry is one of the best. I spotted Gossamer in the e-book section of my library website so I downloaded down this short one as a filler. I headed out to the library tonight and grabbed some new audio books but it’s nice to have the electronic downloads [...]

While I’ve been dying for this final book to come in at the library and I’ve been so anxious to read it, I know that I’ll be disappointed when the series is finished and there’s nothing else!  I’ve got both the audio version and the hard copy so I’m able to either follow along or [...]

Ok.. I’m hooked!  I couldn’t wait to get to the newest book in the saga that I took it in the fastest form I could get my hands on. I was able to download it digitally from my library so I’m plugged in and will be listening like  a nut… (sorry podcasts but you’re on [...]


Current Read: Twilight

Well, I did it.. I got sucked in. I didn’t think that I would be interested in the immensely popular Twilight saga by Stephenie Meyer but we watched the movie the other night and I’m hooked. I was mesmorized by the story (and they picked the perfect actors to play the roles to do it!) [...]
