About me I live in Chicago and travel on a weekly basis so I do have a lot of time to read and listen to audio books while I am driving or waiting for an airplane. Please leave me a comment if you have any suggestions.

About my library I am in the process of adding all of my books to Library Thing. I have my books categorized by the year I read it or to be read.

Erin, thanks for the tip about "World without end." It sounds like a great book and I've put in on my shortlist to listen to even though I can only find it in cds. I prefer to listen to cassettes instead of cds because they are more convenient for me. Unfortunatly, it's getting harder to find things in anything but cds. One of my library systems got rid of all their cassettes, one day there next day gone. I hope that doesn't become the "done thing" in library circles. It seems such a waste especially with the older titles that aren't available from any other sources.

Happy listening,
Mary aka Audiocat

I like what you've got so far, though. We seem to have pretty similar taste in books (heck, we've read at least two of the same books this last month), so I'm adding you to my blogroll!

Erin,

Thanks for leaving me a comment on my blog! I'm really glad you liked it. How funny that you happened to find my blog by searching for "Year of Wonders". Did I see you mention a blog in one of your posts in Talk? If it is a public blog I'd love to check it out.

Thanks, Erin! I do hope you like THE WEDNESDAY SISTERS. It's quite nerve-wrecking, wondering how it will be received, and really heartening to see how many readers are looking forward to it.

And I'll look forward to your company in the Middlemarch discussion. It is such a wonderful book!

Thanks for introducing yourself! We'll have to compare notes on the 2 ARC books.

I see you also share 2 of my favorite books (Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell and The Thirteenth Tale).

PS - Great pic of your puppy! I need to get mine back up on my page.

I really liked John Guy's biography of Mary, Queen of Scots. I didn't really know much about her before except she was like an "alternative Elizabeth" but even with the abridged version (I listened to the Audio CD, but I want to read the full-length book too) I learned so much. Guy's prose isn't boring and he keeps things interesting. I'd definitely recommend it!
