Just finished off "The Bishop's Heir" the first of the Histories of King Kelson by Katherine Kurtz. I sure wish that she and her publishers would get around to releasing all the Deryni books in ebooks. It's been a long, long time since I read this series and I totally forgot what happened. There is a lot of tragedy in the Deryni series, but been one of my favorites since I read the first one back in the 80's. So far, I've found all the audiobooks in the series worth listening to. A good reader and a good story.
I also finished off Freehold by Michael Williamson. It's probably not everyone's cup of tea and it's a bit long (21+ hours) but I enjoyed it.
Just started The Pellinor series by Alison Croggon. This series of youth books has been out for a while, but I just found them a few weeks ago. They were mentioned in a Tor news letter, sounded interesting to me, so I thought I would try them. I've got all four in both ebook and audiobook (If you buy the ebook, you can buy the audio books for $5 a piece). I've read the first three ebooks and should finish the last one this weekend. Just started the first audio book last night. So far it's pretty good. I like the reader.
Sigh, on my car audiobook list I have audiobooks stacked up for 37.6 days. on my work list, I've got 23.5 days worth. That's a lot of listening. I guess I'm a bit of an odd ball, but I really wish that I had a listening app that allowed me to sync between devices (I like to leave my iTouch in my car and use my iPhone for work listening), and arrange audiobooks in playlists so I don't have to mess with the device while driving or figure out what's the next book to be listened to. iTunes does playlists, but only if you don't use music match for a specific device. The Audible app doesn't do playlists. Not sure why.
