Monday Combo again! starting with Musing Mondays:
What is your preferred method of listening to audio books? Where and when do you listen to them?
– *ahem* I don’t listen to audio books 😉 they’re not my thing. It’s like e-books. I’m not into those either. If I want to read I’d really like having the book in front of me, in my hands, with me smelling those brand new pages 😉

Ooh I’m interested in The Unit.. looking forward to your review of that!
wow, it would take me years to read all the books you got just this week!
I’ve never listened to an audiobook, so I don’t know if they’re my thing or not, I’ve heard good things. So maybe I’ll give it a try.
I have just recently started getting into audio books becuase I have traveled so much this year, When in the car for 3 + hours I have found I can get more into a good book then music for hours on end…. eventually the music drives me nuts, but the book I can really get into and the time flies. 🙂
Okay, you are going through a mountain of books. How do you fit zombie-killing time into that kind of schedule, anyway?
LOL no zombies lately. This month I’m taking some days off from work which is why there’s a mountain of books. It’ll force me to read more than playing zombie killing games 😉
My goodness! I can barely keep up with the books I already have!
you have a great list here. Happy reading!
