You are definitely in the mood for Christmas!
I am still in the middle (about 5 hours worth) of Strange Fortune. After that I'll get started on the Dangerous Ground series. Strange Fortune is a 10 hour book and listening to it about 45 minutes a day (commute) is going slowly. It's been to distracted to listen at work.

Thank you! I'll heed your warning and wait patiently for the collection to come out. Yipee!!!!

Oh! Feel better soon Johanna!

I'm waiting too, mostly because my smartphone will be happier to download one file and not four.
I'm listening to The Ghost Wore Yellow Socks at the moment. It's the first one I've listened to without having read the book first, so it's a different experience than usual, not knowing what's coming next. Really enjoying it. I've got my theory on who the killer is. Let's see if I'm right. :D
Mod
It seems that I'm actually not getting better yet and I'm afraid I've contaminated hubby, too. :-(
Mod
Enjoy, Becky! And let us know if your theory on the killer was correct. :-)
The Darkling Thrush and Strange Fortune were the only Josh Lanyon books I have listened to without having read the actual book first. Both worked well for me that way.

Heh, my theory was wrong. Which is always the way it should be with a mystery. :DReally enjoyed that. Wanted to crack the lads's skulls together a couple of times, as you do. ;-)
Have grabbed The Dickens With Love for my next one. Though still doing Monsters of Men too. That's 15.5 hours long, so it will keep me occupied for a while.
Mod

If you've got the bug I've got (could it have traveled so far?!) I am STILL coughing. A lot.

Oh dear... that doesn't sound promising. Same bug or not, mine seems to be a pretty viscous one, too. After resting four days it seems that almost nothing has changed for better. :-(

Oh no!! I had staff who had something similar recently and it seems to linger for several weeks, ironically they all got it after they got the flu shot... but I’m still sending healing thoughts your way :)

Stay away from EVERYONE.

We're all getting our shots at the same time. I never had one before. I'm getting more scared the more I write. Somebody stop me... Argh.
Hj wrote: "... and don't touch ANYTHING without gloves (and don't put your gloved hands anywhere near your face)."Um. You say that now...?
Mod
I always would get a cold for two days out of the year and be fine the others. So, I'm not sure what good a flu shot does. Two days in bed, no school, and plenty of good books to read was heaven to me! Lol.
I still don't get sick very often even now.
I would definitely be the coworker who doesn't go with the flow on this one. But that's just me.

All I know is a month later I'm still coughing, and every year for the past four...five? years I get the flu. So my conclusion is, I probably need to get a flu shot. Or live in a bubble for six months out of the year. (Which I kind of do, come to think of it.)
Mod

Don't worry about it, Calathea. It's a reasonable thing to do, taking the flu shot. I've had it several times during the years. You can do eeeet. :-)
Mod
LOL. :-)
I'm listening to I Spy..... and I feel so sorry for Mark. Yet I also totally understand Steven. But Bryce..... blegh..... dislike him already.
Mod
LOL
I love Alexander's reading of Bryce. Almost but not quite over the top. Every time I hear that "Owh hai, Mahrk," I snicker.
Mod
*snicker* :-D

We'r..."I didn’t mean to scare you, I get the flu shot every year (it’s mostly a requirement at my work) and usually don’t get the flu, and if I do the symptoms are a lot less severe. Also the majority of us at work who had it are just fine. So I hope that help with your worry over it…

I guess there really isn't anything wrong with Bryce at all, we just always see him from Mark's point of view, and he is perhaps not too reliable? There must be some good in a guy who makes snickerdoodles. (And I am so happy I could use that word in a sentence) :)

He's a bit more of a traditionalist, and Mark makes fun of that. But that says more about Mark than it Bryce.

There is a difference in what I think is fun to read about as opposed to what I would like to experience in real life. I love my life, but it would probably make a very boring book. Not to mention, no Romance ;)
Mod
:-)
I don't know about Bryce.... he really appears to me as stuck up/high brow?.... I feel like the narrator reads him like that.... which makes me so not like him besides who on earth (view spoiler)Anyway.... I get a "Guy" feeling about him.....
But honestly Steven really has the worst taste in men... he really does..... Mark is (view spoiler)

He'd be so out the door..... in fact I probably wouldn't even open the door.... or even look through the peephole...;)
Mod
Not even for Jake? ;-)
The audiobook of Simple Gifts by L.B. Gregg has arrived in Audible UK today! So soon I'll be listening to it; I love this novella.

Hell no. ... I'd probably use the cane on him while chasing him out the door ;)

You're welcome! How are you, Johanna?
I have come down with a milder version of your illness; I'm beginning to think that the Internet does transmit germs!
Hj wrote: "I have come down with a milder version of your illness; I'm beginning to think that the Internet does transmit germs!"Then it looks like I infected Johanna, because I had a sore throat and was coughing for some two weeks, even tough I didn't say it here.

And I am there too right now, so it is probably Goodreads' fault, yes? :) Not that I plan to drop out....

You have wonderful voice, Adrian. I'm about to make a nest under the warm blankets and continue listening to Dangerous Ground in a minute. While down with the flu it's HEAVEN to be able to close my eyes and to listen to you telling Tay and Will's story. Revisiting them this way makes their story to come alive in the loveliest way. Thank you.
