Just a toe in

Zow!! I'm officially part of the 21st century - I'm a blogger! Perhaps a bloggette. I feel special now that I'm at the same technology level as most 9 year old's. Hallelujah!

OK, enough with the exclamation points.

About me: pretty nondescript except for my tiny obsession for audiobooks - love to listen to them, love to read reviews, love to share them. Yeah, I know...get a cat. Not going to happen so either stop reading or be prepared to listen up (figuratively speaking).

There's not enough time to list all my favorites on today's blog so here are a few titles (in no particular order) to jump start my thoughts:

Fiction:
American Gods by Neil Gaiman
Mistress of the Art of Death by Ariana Franklin
The Spellman Files by Lisa Lutz
Year of Wonders by Geraldine Brooks
The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd

Non-Fiction:
Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert
A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson
Blink by Malcolm Gladwell
84, Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff
Mountains Beyond Mountains by Tracy Kidder

OK , that's it. That's respectable.

Later...

Dear Audiobook Queen,
I agree with everything you've said and think you are the smartest person in the world; no, make that the universe. I hope to be as insightful and richly textured as you some day. And, dare I say it, beautiful, too. And...oh, you me you can tell if I've posted this myself?

Hey, great to see you blogging! I think I'll make sure all of those titles are on my GoodReads list. Welcome to the world of blogging!
