This was a fun light read. If you like Douglas Adams or Monty Python style humor you may enjoy this. You cam get the eBook through Kindle Unlimited and then buy the audio component for $1.99 on Amazon.com.

Found three. If your time is limited, so that you want to see the better ones (generally speaking), first, you'll have good results by sorting by "bestselling."

There were lots of U.S. Civil War--I mean, War of Northern Aggression --titles. Wish I were more interested in that subject right now. Lots of World War II titles, but I need a break from them right now. It never ceases to amaze me the amount of interest that a lot of people have in both of those wars . . . .

Question: Is it okay to hoard as long as it's ebooks and audiobooks?

Confession time. I have problems with hoarding, hopefully not to the point of being pathological, however.

This looks like a very good quality title--it has very good to excellent ratings, it's a #1 seller in two categories and #2 seller in another, at the Kindle store.

I hope that this title is better than one that I bought on the subject about a year ago. I wasn't able to find it just now, in order to get the name of it, etc. I wanted to warn you away from it. The great majority of the book seemed to devoted to sharing stories of real people that the authors came across. Anecdotal stuff. There seemed to be very little in the way of helpful, "how to" information. Scanning the table of contents of this present book, however, it lookslike the authors do a lot of talking about "how to" conquer it or bring it under control.

It was a must-buy for me.

I found it. I mean the audiobook that I recommended that you not get (unless you like to hear stories about pathetic people who, sadly, have this compulsion). It's Stuff: Compulsive Hoarding and the Meaning of Things. It's got a 4.20 rating, so there must be lots of people who liked it, though. Maybe you would, too, but the audiobook wasn't of much, if any, help to me.

$15.96 -- The Dark Water -- Seth Fishman/ Katie Schorr --> 7.7 hrs --> fantasy

To escape Blake Sutton’s army at the end of the enthralling Well’s End, Mia and her friends jump into the newly gurgling fountain of youth and swim to its very bottom. When they resurface, an astounding world awaits them—an entire underground civilization of humans, the Keepers of the Well.

But instead of finding a safe haven, Mia and her gang are quickly embroiled in a dangerous, high-stakes battle royale. If Mia wants to save everyone she loves and make it back home alive, she’s got to get to the water’s source before Sutton and his troops, who are still hot on her trail.

With new characters and new threats, Seth Fishman has upped the ante fantastically and delivers another tense, fast-paced adventure in a richly imagined world just below our feet.

$11.96 -- The Captain’s Verses -- Pablo Neruda/ Armando Durán --> 1.4 hrs --> poetry

The Captain’s Verses: The Love Poems

Pablo Neruda, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, finished writing The Captain’s Verses in 1952 while in exile on the island of Capri―the paradisiacal setting for the blockbuster film Il Postino (The Postman). Surrounded by sea, sun, and Capri’s natural splendors, Neruda addressed these poems to his lover Matilde Urrutia before they were married, but he didn’t publish them publicly until 1963. This complete collection has become a classic for love-struck readers around the world―passionately sensuous and exploding with all the erotic energy of a new love.

This looks like a great ebook/audiobook. The Children's Bizzard. The Whisersync deal is only $6.98.

It's a heart-rending, and part of the time probably a heart-warming (well that last word was a poor choice. ha), book. Some you dyed-in-the-wool fictionistas might even like it (just pretend that the things in the book never did happen, and you'll love it!). You can't make up stories this good.
