Well, May was an interesting month. I had jury duty — and still do, until the end of June — which impacted my reading. I bought a new Sony e-Reader, sending my old one back for credit/recycle. I decided to try (again) to check out audiobooks and e-books from the local library. So far, it’s been so-so. I checked out Dead Witch Walking by Kim Harrison as an ebook — and didn’t finish it (and decided not to count it) — I will give it another try as an audiobook. I’ve got an Agatha Christie short story collection from the library on my reader to read next. Also from the library, I checked out Murder at the Vicarage by Agatha Christie as an audiobook and I enjoyed it. I’m now listening to Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, also from the library.
