Recent Book Activity

Welcome to my bookshelf.

Once upon a time I enjoyed the advantages of mass transit. Eventually, I was forced to join the freeway rush hour commute to and from work each day. Not to be denied the time I once spent leisurely reading books while I rode as a passenger, I discovered the wonderful world of audio books available by downloads, on CD and audiotape. Some life circumstances change...some don't. I still enjoy listening to audio books. It's perfect for my multi-tasking personality ;-)

I have been mooning for one ever since they were introduced and now I have a Kindle!! I just bought my first two ebooks this week. Of course, they are (my favorite) Nora Roberts titles :-)
