Marginally, but it's also not the hill I'm going to die on.

I find it a useful descriptive phrase, so I know to avoid it. I don't mind the phrase.

That said, I *do* like Jodi Taylor's books, so I'm at least reading the blurb about it. If it's seriously "chick lit", I doubt I'll get it.

Hmmm. The ebook itself is $3.99. I hate to tie myself down to ONLY the audio, for this small price difference.

Is there a way to tell, BEFORE I buy the ebook, whether the Audible version is free with the ebook, or is an added cost?

It won't be free. It's not even Whispersync. $2.95 is the best price you'll get for this audiobook.

YW, and I don't blame her. I don't like THAT kind of book either.

Um, I think you have to buy it from Tantor's website to get it for free. The Audible option isn't under their control. The books are DRM-free, though, so you can load them on your device as you see fit.

Downpour -- Rental of the Week -- limited time

$1.99 -- Astrophysics for People in a Hurry -- Neil Tyson/ N Tyson --> 3.7 hrs --> physics

Quote:

What is the nature of space and time? How do we fit within the universe? How does the universe fit within us? There’s no better guide through these mind-expanding questions than acclaimed astrophysicist and bestselling author Neil deGrasse Tyson.

But today, few of us have time to contemplate the cosmos. So Tyson brings the universe down to Earth succinctly and clearly, with sparkling wit, in digestible chapters consumable anytime and anywhere in your busy day.

While waiting for your morning coffee to brew, or while waiting for the bus, the train, or the plane to arrive, Astrophysics for People in a Hurry will reveal just what you need to be fluent and ready for the next cosmic headlines: from the Big Bang to black holes, from quarks to quantum mechanics, and from the search for planets to the search for life in the universe.

Thank's I've had this kicking around my ebook wishlist for eons

I just finished the Scarpetta series by Patricia Cornwell. I need a new series to start. Any suggestions.

Acataloger · 01-06-2018, 08:31 AM

I enjoyed Kathy Reichs's series about Temperance Brennan. The TV series Bones is said to be loosely based on these books. I was thinking about starting the Scarpetta series next :-)

Thanks, sounds like a great new series to start. And my library has them.

I enjoyed the Scarpette series. Overall I would give the series a B. A few things bothered me but that was just me. My biggest problem was having to get use to so many different narrators. A few of the books are not available in audio in the USA. Or they have gone out of print (what ever that is for audio). I got lucky and some remote county in Kentucky has cassette tapes for some of the books. So I had to dig out my old cassette player.

I went down to a farm supply store because they where having a big sale on chicks. I got there and found a bunch of baby chickens. What a letdown.
