Just started listening to Skin Games, by some obscure author named Jim Butcher ;-). Kind of interesting, listening to and reading a book at the same time.

I don't know if the way I buy audiobooks is the norm or not. Basically, what I do is scan through the new releases every couple of weeks and put books I am interested in, in my wish list. If I'm interested in a series, I tend to put the whole series in the wish lists. Almost all of the audiobooks that I buy, are books that I've read either in dead tree form, or as an ebook.

Every so often, I buy a batch of audiobooks. The triggering event is either a new book come out that I really want to listen to now (such as Skin Games), or I'm running low on a particular style of book that I want to listen to, or Audible has a sale and several of the books in my wish list are on sale. Whatever the triggering event is, I typically will buy 5 or 6 at a time. Then I put them in my ebooks playlist, reshuffle the playlist to put them in the order I want and away I go for a month or two.
