[Mary]

Sorry, should have said eAudiobooks!!!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

ebooks, audio books, kindle, paper - any sort of book is allowed Mary (as long as it's over 125 pages etc). Just take the page count from the GR page (and try not to partially read an audio book as they're hard to work out ;) )

[Mary]

Excellent thanks Brenda. I will download a new audiobook to listen to from tomorrow when I am out on my long walks and read paper books when home. It should be a great weekend of reading!!
