Today was a continuation of yard work, so I plugged in to audiobooks. I loved it so much the first time I just had to listen again while mowing and pulling weeds - The Importance of Being Earnest Performance.

Then another freebie from Audible that was announced in our Deals forum - Abby Cooper, Psychic Eye: Psychic Eye Mysteries by Victoria Lane - I'm 2/3 the way through and found it was perfect to listen to while mindlessly pulling weeds and cleaning the pond.
Spoiler:
Book Description
In Royal Oak, a suburb of Detroit, Abby Cooper lives a life that's kind of like vanilla ice cream - good enough, but a little bland. Her work as a P.I. - Psychic Intuitive - can be rewarding, but she feels like she's missing out on something. Now she's getting what she wished for - when a client winds up dead and the clues start pointing in Abby's direction. Turns out she knows too much about the murder for her own good ... and the lead investigator for the case is the gorgeous blind date she just met.


Then, while waiting for the pond to fill up, I read Witch Way (Part One) (The Mystic Series) by Heidi Hall - a cute fluff read. This was also a freebie, but I may not have started it, if I had paid attention that it left you hanging. Part 2 continues the story.
Spoiler:

Mayhem has been Roxy Devereaux's constant companion, but she never imagined gun-wielding mummies would invade a company Halloween party and send her running for her life. Adrift and afraid, the sleepy town of Mystic, Oregon calls to her. Yet, in this secluded coastal community, nothing is as it appears.

Somehow, the locals know her. They expected her arrival. They believe she has powers that are beyond belief. As her past is revealed, Roxy must make a decision - stay and accept her birthright, or leave the haven of Mystic behind.


Now back to The Buried Pyramid by Jane Lindskold - again a freebie from Tor posted in our Deals forum (I think it is still free) - I haven't read very much, so I'm hoping it gets better.
Spoiler:
Set in the Victorian age, The Buried Pyramid is, at the start, an archaeological suspense novel. Jenny Benet, a recently orphaned American who was raised in the Wild West before being “finished” in Boston, goes to Egypt with her uncle, Neville Hawthorne, a prominent British archaeologist. They’re searching for the legendary Buried Pyramid, the tomb of the pharaoh Neferankhotep—who may also have been Moses the Lawgiver.

Discovering the tomb is not the end of their journey but only the beginning. In The Buried Pyramid, Jane Lindskold sends us on a marvelous ride through Ancient Egyptian myth, legend, and religion and leaves us enlightened and amazed.
