Oops audiobook update

Image
By
So i realized I forgot to tell you the outcomes of the audiobook hunt. I ended up with "Specials" by Scott Westerfeld. I'd started listening to this one last summer and had to return it before it was due. I listened to "Pretties" last summer as well and fell in love with the reader. I also brought "Little Brother" by Cory Doctorow. Another book I started (in print) last fall, but failed to get through before it was due. I was a bit ambitious in the number books I checked out at a time last fall. Must work on that this summer. I'm excited about this one! I also ended up with a cop out ("Assassination Vacation") just in case I get bored with the other two. I also will have my ipod along for traveling music as I like to call it :)

I took all your suggestions in with me. I'll admit I got distracted in the YA section. Also, the library is undergoing construction and I had a hard time finding a lot of stuff there. By the time I made it back downstairs and found the adult section, I was ready to just go home. I'm keeping your lists though as this won't be my last road trip this summer. I've still got Milwaukee, a few trips to Madison, and maybe Omaha left!

I promise to report on the flip side. Talk to you all then!

    So if you do come to Omaha you can leave with a much more extensive collection of musical soundtracks than you came with, I promise you that!

    Are those Specials books by Westerfield any good at all?

    Most of Carnegie-Stout's digital audiobooks are now iPod compatible. See our blog for more info.

April weekends

By
I just solidified plans for this weekend today when it hit me: my April weekends are all over the place, and well so very me. Keeping with my new reality of being around Dubuque much more often than I have in the past, I'll be here for 3 of the 4 weekends. Ok, and by here I mean mostly here. I'll explain below. April 6-7 Julien Dubuque International Film Festival --I went to the festival last year with Gretchen. We had so much fun! We ended up seeing a different set of films than we originally thought, but it was still a blast. I was lucky enough to attend the Beloit International Film Festival with Kyle and his family last month, and this year he's coming down to spend the weekend watching films with me. Plus Nicole will be around for the weekend so she's coming along too! April 13-14 Twins game with Amy--We've got tickets to the Twins-Mets game on Sunday so I'll be driving back up to The Cities (I was just there over St. Patrick's Day weekend). I have...

About me

By
I feel like it's only fair I do a little bit of an intro for my new BEDA buddies: Christina , Autumn , and Nicola . For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, a bunch (read over 200) of us participating in Blog Every Day in April signed up to have Maureen Johnson (the Churchill of BEDA as Alex Day called her) to match us up with BEDA buddies for moral support for the rest of the month. What we do with these buddies is up to us. I'm not quite sure yet what we'll do, if anything other than comment on each other's blogs. But I feel like I do the least on my blog to give an idea of who I am. So this post is hoping to rectify that. So here goes! I'm a midwestern born and bred. At 24, I've never lived more than 200 miles (a 3 hour drive) from the city I was born in. However, my parents threw us in the van and took us on driving vacations all over the country, where I fell in love with history and roadtrips. These two loves served me well in colleg...

Booklist

By
I found this in my RSS feed this morning and thought it was a nice way to start the day. It is a list created by the National Endowment for the Arts, and a blogger writes that they claim most American adults have read only six of these hundred books. I've read 23, but about half have been for school; however, some of those I chose to read for a class assignment. :) Here’s what you do: 1) Look at the list and bold those you have read. 2) Italicize those you intend to read. 3) Underline the books you LOVE. (Or in my case turn them green.) 4) Reprint this list on your own blog. 1 Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen 2 The Lord of the Rings - JRR Tolkien 3 Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte 4 Harry Potter series - JK Rowling 5 To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee 6 The Bible (um, how many people have actually sat down to read the Bible? Like, straight through? I'm counting it because I read at least a chapter every night.) 7 Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte (I own it, but haven't read ...
