Comments (4)I use Audible for audiobooks i cant borrow from our local library. I'm satisfied with the quantity and quality of the selections, but don't like having to buy a month-to-month plan. (You don't *have* to, but books are 2-3X more expensive otherwise. But I listen to audiobooks when I walk, so I figure it's worthwhile for me. Every once in awhile, I'll put my subscription on hold to catch up with listening. Ebooks I get from Amazon, usually....See More?? about Audio Books~~
Comments (13)If your mom qualifies for the state-run program, she will likely receive, free of charge, a machine similar to one of these in the link. Our program here in AR (Arkansas State Library for the Blind) sent both and asked my mother to choose which one suited her better. Large Braille buttons make them a lot easier to use if you're visually impaired. They will mail you, also free of charge, the audio books that she requests and ours even mailed some that they thought she might enjoy, because we filled out a questionnaire with her preferences. Ours offers over 20,000 titles. Here is a link that might be useful: 2 different machines-...See MoreWhat 'Audio Book' Are you listening to?
Comments (9)I am listening to "The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie" by Alan Bradley. It is a cute murder mystery, but I have a hard time believing the protagonist is only 11. She's way too smart! Here's the summary: It's the beginning of a lazy summer in 1950 at the sleepy English village of Bishop's Lacey. Up at the great house of Buckshaw, aspiring chemist Flavia de Luce passes the time tinkering in the laboratory she's inherited from her deceased mother and an eccentric great uncle. When Flavia discovers a murdered stranger in the cucumber patch outside her bedroom window early one morning, she decides to leave aside her flasks and Bunsen burners to solve the crime herself, much to the chagrin of the local authorities. But who can blame her? What else does an eleven-year-old science prodigy have to do when left to her own devices? With her widowed father and two older sisters far too preoccupied with their own pursuits and passions�stamp collecting, adventure novels, and boys respectively�Flavia takes off on her trusty bicycle Gladys to catch a murderer. In Alan Bradley's critically acclaimed debut mystery, The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie, adult readers will be totally charmed by this fearless, funny, and unflappable kid sleuth. But don't be fooled: this carefully plotted detective novel (the first in a new series) features plenty of unexpected twists and turns and loads of tasty period detail. As the pages fly by, you'll be rooting for this curious combination of Harriet the Spy and Sherlock Holmes. Go ahead, take a bite. --Lauren Nemroff...See Morewritersblock (9b/10a)
