It’s been a while since my last post. I’ve been a bit out of it lately.
Let’s see – I got a new kitten. A neighbor found it in the field, meowing and came to ask if it was ours. It, obviously, wasn’t, but we took it anyway. We weren’t sure it was a boy or a girl at first, so I named it Charlie. Turns out, it’s Charlotte opposed to a Charles. Very hyper, but still cute and lovable.
I’ve taken a bit of a break from reading the Left Behind books. I only have about a book and a half left to go, but I just needed a change of speed. Those books were so heavy, and now they’re winding down and I’m kind of sad to finish. So I’ve been listening to Along For the Ride, which is Sarah Dessen’s newest book. It came out last month, and, luckily, it’s release date coincided with my monthly credit from Audible. I snagged it right up, but I’m only just getting around to listening. I will say that it’s excellent so far, though. I’m about halfway through listening. I’d probably be done if I were actually reading the physical book, but sometimes I think listening is better. It’s harder to miss out on details, I think. Thank goodness for Mp3 players. I know mine gets plenty of play and was certainly worth the money. I love audiobooks because I can listen and work on other stuff at the same time and not feel like I’m slacking off on things that I need to get done. It’s a great feeling.

Hi –
I am working with BBC Audiobooks America to launch an Audiobook Club. I’m in the process of trying to find some like-minded bloggers to help them get the word out.
I am attaching their press release for you to look over, but essentially it is an online book club open to anyone that will culminate in an online discussion to take place at the end of the month via their Facebook Group page. The first audiobook selection is Jaws by Peter Benchley – just in time for some summer “reading”.
Their group page is located here: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=79812459707
Do you think this might be some fodder on your blog? I’d really appreciate any boost you might be able to give! Thanks so much for your consideration!
