Can the order reverse chronological? Not that I have any idea what I am going to read, I don’t tend to look at book by genre
Rebekah wrote: "Being British, (I’m guessing because you use the word “whilst”), do you often have these long road trips we have over here? From Tennessee to see family in Texas, we can fish a book of about 300 pages on the 1000 mile trip. Used to drive from here to Iowa every summer when we had custody of grandson and took him to holiday with his mother. 817 miles through miles of corn and cows with a kindergarterner made audiobooks and Ipad invaluable!."Aussie actually ;)
Not really, we have done a couple of long drives between States, and almost around all of Tasmania (in a day, and I am not making that up!), but we never have the time, or money, to go away. And, with her ADHD my daughter can't focus on the spoken word without visuals for very long.
I have been driving my brother to work and back for 2 years now, so that really eats into my listening time. One day he will either get his license back, or the new factory for his work will be built, and I will be free to listen to books again as I drive, but for now I just try to listen to 2 new-to-me albums a day and expand my music horizons!

I listen to va audiobooks in the car or whilst knitting or painting. I tend to listen to podcasts at work, although the Agatha Christie I downloaded this week was such a pleasurable listen that I found I could listen to that whilst working. Hoping to get a tablet for ebooks as we currently can’t do inter library loans due to the rising costs of transportation. Instead I have signed up to 5 or 6 other libraries digitally so I can access their collections, which turns up a lot of different texts.
