It's Monday, What are you reading?

This week I've done a lot of listening to audio books, but not as much actual book reading.  I am so thankful for audio since it allows me to read/listen while doing other things, otherwise I would feel like I was missing out on my weekly reading allotment!

Finished:
I Remember Nothingn by Nora Ephron
Then Again by Diane Keaton
Judy Moody is in a Mood, Not a Good Mood, A Bad Mood by Megan McDonald
Sweeter than Birdsong by Rosslyn Elliot

Still Working on:
The Scottish Prisoner by Diana Gabaldon

Other thoughts:
I've been checking digital audio books out of the library to listen to on my Ipod.  I love it because I can listen while I run.  I did a two hour run Saturday morning and listened the whole time!  I also listen at double time, because it feels too slow otherwise, which makes them go a lot faster!  It changes the sound a little, but once you get used to it the story sounds fine.  I plan to stop by the library tomorrow as I am done listening to both books I checked out and I cannot figure out how to return them before the due date.  I  know there must be a way, but nothing I have tried has worked so  it is time to ask for help!

  2. I really should walk more, listening to a book while I am walking might be a great motivator

    Wishing you a great reading week!

  4. I want to read the Diane Keaton book...I've been intrigued by her ever since I saw Annie Hall and the other Woody Allen movies in which she starred.

    Loved I Remember Nothing...it was scary how much I could relate! lol

    Enjoy your week.

  5. I just started listening to audiobooks while I run too - I don't think there is a way for my iPod (nano) to make it go double time though. And I don't think the books can be returned early :-( I set my time to 7 days and just try to space out the intervals at which I borrow the books.
