    Might I ask how you go about listening to Audio books? I would love to start listening to them while running but they're SOOOO expensive! I used the audible app trial (where you got a free book download) and after the trial was over and I saw how much most books were ($32+) I was shocked!

    I borrow them in CD format from my library and burn them onto my IPod. When I finish it, I delete it and borrow another. There is a way to download them from my state's digital library onto my IPod (uses Overdrive) but I haven't tried that yet.

    Currently listening to my favorite author's last book that he published before he passed away last year; Dr. Wayne Dyer's "I Can See Clearly Now." It's his autobiography infused with his lifetime of self-help guidance. I highly recommend it.

    My public library has audio book loans through Overdrive. I listen to them pretty much constantly (in the car, on the stationary bike, on the treadmill, when work is particularly boring, etc) and they're all free. I've found some pretty awesome titles by picking from what's available now, like:

    Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk by Ben Fountain
    After This by Alice McDermott
    Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn
    The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins
    Inside the O'Briens by Lisa Genova
    After I'm Gone by Laura Lippman
    The Story of Beautiful Girl by Rachel Simon
    Calico Joe by John Grisham
    The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire, and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest by Steig Larsson

    Anything by Brandon Sanderson! I love his stuff so much.

    Can't focus on audiobooks though, I'm a visual person. I listened to two of them and had to backtrack all the time because I kept losing focus, lol.
