    Nice! I hope you have a wonderful trip! Goodreads.com is an awesome resource for book ideas if you didn't know already. :)

    For a great audio book experience, try Sycamore Row by John Grisham. Excellent story and superb narrative performance by Michael Beck - one of my favorite readers.

    I read a lot too. I'm pretty active on Goodreads.

    Just finished Howard Stern's new book. Next up, chick-lit - That's what frenemies are for.

    LAST: A Dangerous Man, by Robert Crais — excellent

    CURRENT: The Silent Patient, by Alex Michaelides — really good so far

    Last: Book 3 of the Banished of Muirwood by Jeff Wheeler (can't remember the name of it, sorry, and already returned it on my kindle unlimited thingy so can't even go back to it to check). The whole of the Muirwood series was great. The first part was better than the second part though (6 books total) because the main chick in the second part sometimes got annoying in her righteousness.

    Current: Storm Glass - Jeff Wheeler. So far so good-ish. I just chose to read it because figured the dude did a good job on the Muirwood ones, so I can't go wrong, right? Welll..... not sure. I haven't quite been as "grabbed" by it yet, but it could just be a slow start. We'll see.

    Next: Will most likely be book #2 in this series IF I a) manage to read all of book 1 and b) book 1 was good enough to make me want to read book 2.

    Is listening to a book the same as reading a book? Discuss.

    @DickAich - Love James Lee Burke and Robicheaux, especially the audio read by Will Patton. Have you read any of Alafaire Burke’s books?

    @Cahgetsfit - I believe so!
