My Interest Two words: Chanel Cleeton! Add to that a recommendation from Carla at Carla Loves to Read (won’t you go read her post, too? Leave her a nice comment! We bloggers live on nice comments). Add in a book hangover from California Golden (review coming) that meant I couldn’t–I just couldn’t start Chanel Cleeton’s ..read more

My Interest Major League Baseball starts up in town today so I get to work from home. Since I’m a Cubs fan and not a Reds fan, that’s just fine with me! But, with the holiday looming, I’d knew I wouldn’t be doing as much driving as usual, so wanted a really short audio book ..read more

Novellas in November, hosted by Bookish Beck and Cathy at 746 Books, goes perfectly with Christmas reading. There are always a lot of great, short Christmas books. So far this year I’ve enjoyed two Christmas novellas (or maybe they are short stories?). I listened to the audio version of each book. Sammy the Cat narrates ..read more

My Interest I wanted a Thanksgiving book to listen to this week. I Googled and found this one–by Janet Evanovich, pre-Stephanie Plum. Color me shocked–I had NO IDEA this woman had written 70+ books?

Thank you to Bookish Beck and Cathy at 746 Books for hosting this fun annual reading event. My Interest I’ve long wished that library e-book apps were searchable by number of pages or listening time. I often want something very short now and then. This story–I’m calling it a novella. but like Claire Keegan’s short ..read more

My Interest This is another great find at a time when I trolled the library e-audios in desperation for something to listen to on my car trip. Newly published, this is her first novel by this author, though she has written for online sources. It sounded it interesting and was short (4.5 hours/ 188 pages ..read more

My Interest Had I not just the day before sat listening to the Mc Ian Duo at my tiny rural Ohio library, I might have overlooked this little gem of a book. But suddenly, my eye is drawn immediately to anyone in a kilt! A nonfiction novella in length, this was just what I needed ..read more

My Interest I was in the mood for a “put your brains under the seat and don’t ask too many questions” sort of Christmas book. [That quote, by the way, originated long ago with a Bond movie–The Spy Who Loved Me, iirc]. The Story Heiress and museum director, Claire MacIntosh (fyi, I’ve never met a ..read more

November has too many great reading events! Thankfully, I started a new job this month, so my participation was curtailed by the exhaustion of all day in new surroundings, all day surrounded by people, and all day learning new things. So, my goals were a little too lofty this year! Sorry, German Literature, but you ..read more

My Interest I’ve read the first 16 of Anne Perry’s William Monk books and one of her World War I series. I love Monk and Hester and their friends. Perry’s Christmas books usually center on a lesser character from one of her series. I like that. The Story Charles Latterly, brother of Hester, is recently ..read more
