Podiobooks

If anyone is curious, I have linked my Podiobooks subscriptions to the right. I started listening to audio books back in college, when Tammy and I would go on long drives to visit family. Most of those were checked out from the library. Before last August, that, and the Harry Potter series of audio books, was the only books I listened to. I now get books from iTunes, from Audible.com, from Podiobooks.com, and for the author's website.

For months after I downloaded my first three audio books from iTunes, they sat on my iPod without me listening to them. It took a drive back from Baton Rouge last August for me to start listening to them. I started with The Secret World Chronicles, which is a superheroes audio book. It made the drive much better. Since then, on my monthly drive to Houston, I always have multiple books to choose from.

And I don't always listen to them straight through. I have two that I listen to as a serial double feature. I download one segment a week of each book, and listen to that segment as a double feature while taking the kids to swimming lessons. Most recently, I have done that with Nawashi and Playing for Keeps, although I finished Nawashi last week, and it's sequel isn't ready. I'll probably start Quarter Share or Murder at Avedon Hill in it's place, and bring in the other one when I finish Playing for Keeps.
