I really like this series! My library doesn't have the last one, Ties That Bind, so I actually had to *buy a book *gasp!* LOL Because of another challenge I'm in, I have to wait till June to read it; good thing that's only a few weeks away.

I agree a very good series. I had to pay more than usual to get mine. I don't usually get caught up in a more expensive series but this one is worth it.

I always buy, one of great delight of my life. I'm pro book versus e-book. I choose carefully and hit sales but if I don't like something well enough to keep it, I sell towards other used books. Putting authors together, finding a spot for each addition; this is exciting long before I open them. Standing back and looking at my collection relaxes me.

These are all audible except for 1. I used text to speech for that one. I love someone reading a book to me. Space saving is great too.

Our book space is the loveliest part of our home decor. Sounds nice, about someone reading to you. :) I began doing that for my parents. Maeve Binchy short stories at Christmas and most recently, Gabrielle Roy. I own one audio book and will try it one of these days. Had to have William Shatner's autobiography in his voice!

[Shirley]

I already have over 5000 books... hard cover,soft cover,paperback,cassette and cd to "look at" so audible has helped keep clutter down.

We integrated shelves and shelves (I couldn't count, it's a building to itself) into a beautiful atmosphere. Rather than a mess, it IS our home decor. :) There's a photo of the building in my level 4 thread. Easiest way to say it: rather than something to get rid of, for us it's pieces of a collection that have somewhere to fit. LOL!
