Ahhhh – the drive to High Level at Christmas. I’ve done that a couple of times. SO glad the in-laws moved! I listened to Frankenstein from Librivox. I wasn’t exactly thrilled with the quality of reading – but the price tag is certainly good.

I love, love, love audio books. We are in the middle of ‘The Secret Garden’ right now. And have many more lined up (The Count of Monte Cristo, Little Princess, Anne of Green Gables, The 3 Musketeers) for our long drive to High Level at Christmas. I get excited just thinking about it! Ambrose finds them on iTunes…and on this website called libravox. They have a bunch on there that are in the ‘public domain’…that are read by many different people. Carmen got us hooked on that website…cause she love, love, loves audio books too!

I know it Gramps. I think of Gram every time I start chatting with cashiers / waitresses / cleaners / etc.

Darn, we didn’t start in on audio books until my kids were a bit older than that. Any Robert Munch books are great though – I think they’re all read by the author. I think at the younger ages, they appreciate the read-along type books more – where they can have the book and pictures in front of them while listening. The library has lots of those, too!

That’s hilarious – I thought Lois was my own personal librarian.

Dang it. That’s what I get for pouring the wine BEFORE blogging.
