Reread:

  1. I am jealous of all of your awesome audiobooks! (: I'm really enjoying listening to books in the car (as long as I've read them first!) Punk is also enjoying them. Books all the time!

    1. I have a couple others waiting for me at the library. I'm very lucky my library has a good selection of everything, including audiobooks. Sometimes I miss music in the car, but I've found this is a good way for me to recap books. Definitely need to have already read it once before I listen. That way, it's not a big deal if I have to concentrate on driving instead of the book. If I used audio for the first read, I'd miss out on a lot.
