Audiobooks!

I admit that I have a new love for audiobooks. I never was interested in them before, and honestly, I somewhat considered it "cheating" to listen to a book being read to me instead of reading it myself. But this summer I've taken a chance with a few popular audiobooks, and I have enjoyed them so much that I now find myself listening in my car, while doing chores, exercising, and I've even used it as an excuse for some "me" time while I go for a neighborhood walk. This has increased the amount of books I've been exposed to, and I've even reviewed a few books from movies that I've already watched, comparing the two and talking about the differences with others. I can't wait for more. What library audiobooks does your library have available?
