    White Trash & Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil

    Are you reading White Trash by Nancy Isenberg?

    Yes

    @marissafit06 I would love to hear your thoughts/impressions when you're done with White Trash. I finished it a few months ago.

    Will do!

    I have been trying to get audible books to listen to on my drive to work.

    However, Amazon (my primary choice for books) only allows a subscription for audible, which is not what I want.

    I have tried the library, but it’s too clunky and lame. I’m not going to use such a lame solution.

    I don’t want to buy CD’s because I have no way to play them, plus they are very expensive.

    For those that use audible books, how do you get them?

    TIA.

    You can buy audible books without a subrscription

    “Red Sparrow” and “The Casual Vacancy”. The latter is quite boring and disappointing coming from JK Rowling.

    I was bored silly with "The Casual Vacancy" until the last third. Then it picked up, but only a little. Very disappointing.

    Most of the books I want, it’s not available without a subscription.

    They just cost more without the subscription

    That book bored me too. I couldn't finish it. But check out the Cormoran Strike series by Robert Galbraith (a pseudonym of J.K. Rowling). It's a series of mysteries. Very interesting protagonist, an absorbing read. Quite good IMO.

    The Cuckoo's Calling"

    I’ve read all of her Galbraith books and really enjoyed them. The Casual Vacancy seems to have just totally missed the mark.

    I have recently finished Gail Honeyman's Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine which was one of the best novels that I have read in quite a while. I am now reading the classic that is Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express.

    Does your library use the overdrive app? I listen to most of books through overdrive. I just check out my book through my library online and download to the app. I listen to a lot of books, so I love free audio books.

    This. I also use the Overdrive app through my library...This is where I get all of my audiobooks.

    The Goldfinch -Donna Tartt.

    I love love loved The Secret History. I've read it at least 5 times. I couldn't finish The Goldfinch, though. I was so bored. Maybe I should try again...

    Read it - actually listened to it in the car, but, same difference. MUCH better adult fare from Rowling.
