Books and More Books

Posted on | January 29, 2010 | Comments Off

I think it’s a new record – my sidebar is showing that I managed to read four books in January. That’s slightly misleading. The first book I was 90% done with on January 1 – but it counts as being read in 2010 since I finished it in 2010. The third book was a book that I read halfway through in late 2009 and then set aside for some reason. It was my “go to” book at work in case I forgot my MP3 player, and a couple weeks ago that happened – I was able to finish it up in 3 quick lunch breaks at work.

I’m gearing up for my trip in a few weeks, and wanted to be sure that I had plenty on my MP3 player to last me during all the driving/flying that I’ll be doing. Fortunately, my sister JenSpeaksand I are sharing an Audible account in 2010, so I was able to download a few things she had downloaded that I’ve been meaning to read.

Titles I just loaded on my MP3 player for this month and the trip:

I’m going to start with Pride & Prejudice because I believe I can get that done long before I leave on the trip. Same goes for Cranford. That’ll leave the long ones for the trip to Vegas/Utah at the end of the month. Seeing as I’ll have 3.5 hours each way on a plane, a 4 hour drive each way from Vegas to the timeshare, and then 2 hours roundtrip to get to the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary each day – I’ll have plenty of time in the car to listen to the books.

So I guess what I’m saying is that my stats for February are going to be pretty darn awesome, too. *lol*

Yes, I’m a nerd. I love books. Even those I don’t “read” (Denis claims audiobooks aren’t really reading, despite the fact that I’m able to repeat back plot, subplot, character descriptions and various information about the so-called “book” once I’m done listening to it).
