I find it hard to believe that we are already in October. I can’t think what happened to September but it doesn’t feel as if it really happened. I guess when you are busy enjoying yourself the time really flies. I managed to fit in two trips to Melbourne and Canberra during the month.
Did I get many historical fiction books read in September? I managed three for the challenge but I also read a few others in crime fiction. I have completed 28 in the historical fiction challenge so far.
On my trip to Melbourne I was listening to an audio book by Lynda La Plante. . .Backlash. It is a great way to make the trip go quickly while listening to the story. Unfortunately there was something wrong with the CD player in the car and I only got to disk 5 at which point the disk got stuck in the player!
When I reached home I was able to listen to the remaining disks on a player at home and discovered that I am not someone who can sit still to listen to a book. I need to be doing something else at the same time. I just can’t sit still unless my hands are occupied too, eg knitting or crocheting. I am fine if I am holding on to an actual book but that isn’t possible with an audio book. Anyway I finished the book and thoroughly enjoyed it. I was about to head off to the auto electricians to see if he could get the disk out of the car CD player when I thought I would try to eject it once more. Thankfully the disk came out. The audio book was from the library so it was imperative that I retrieved the disk.
I won’t be listening to any more CD audio books I will download them onto my phone using Borrowbox that way no CDs can get stuck in the car player.
It will be Christmas before we know it.
Any ideas on what you would like for Christmas?
