American Music by Jane Mendelsohn I’ve been in a bit of a “chick-lit” mood lately. Not so much with what I’m reading, but what I’m listening to. I need something that I can walk in and out of while I’m busying myself with all my projects. (After all, the ability to multitask is why I [...]

My first non-fiction audio. When I think of nonfiction audio books I always think of self-help; not so much my cup of tea. Instead The Lost City of Z was a great history/adventure book that I would liken to John Krakauer. I felt like I was listening to a segment on the Discovery or History [...]

I’ve been working on this blog forever. I finished listening to the City of Thieves awhile ago and started a draft of this little guy, but alas… I never get around to finishing. Not today, though. Today I’m finishing this blog post and informing the world about my love for the City of Thieves. In [...]

So, a handful of my hip friends really like Michael Chabon. I’ve never read him and aforementioned friends always give me that disappointed grimace when I admit that. Well, I finally stepped up to the plate and picked up some Chabon. Only, I chose to listen to it(The Yiddish Policemen’s Union) since I’ve been so [...]

Summer is here and the streets of Nantucket are jumping. I’m still listening to my audio, but I have to admit… not as much. With things picking up I’m just not with my iPod as much. People to see and places to go cut into my audio. I’ve never read any Carl Hiassen before and [...]

Although I haven’t been blogging my reviews as frequently, I’ve still been listening to my audio books. I did have a period of time where I was listening to The Cure a lot, but I’m back in the game. It’s coming on summer and I’m keeping myself busy with crafts when I’m not at Ye [...]

WOW! That’s the word that rolled through my head as I listened to Mary Karr‘s third memoir, Lit. Some other choice words were in tumbling about too, but they were a slightly more vulgar equivalent of wow… so for our sakes and purposes… WOW!I haven’t read Karr’s other books, The Liar’s Club and Cherry, memoirs [...]

Alan Bradley’s The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie has been on our bestseller list for a while, I just didn’t get around to reading it. I did however, have the pleasure to listen to it. I have to say, listening to mysteries should be the new black. It’s kind of a big deal. [...]

I’ve been in a young adult mood lately. Maybe spending the majority of my days in the high school had something to do with it. (I painted the sets for the Nantucket High School Musical The Pajama Game) While I was painting my day away in the auditorium, my trusty iPod played the Seer of Shadows by [...]
