Audio Books

Never done an audio book before so i thought this would be a fun venture for me... I was not to impressed with the PDL (Phoenix Digital Library) though : ( ...... Everything I wanted was either non existent, or was checked out... So I decided to try something new... New Age to be exact... it was a book called "Igniting Intuition" which I thought sounded interesting to me in trying to find my purpose here on Earth and to help cope with these new womanly hormones I'm experiencing.. ahem... anyways, I think it was a little too "old" for me, wasn't really what I was expecting... I'm not experiencing back pain or other common woes older woman face, but I would definitely recommend it to my later self... Still it was nice to try out an "audiobook". Luckily I ran into no problems downloading OverDrive and getting my books, it turned out to be very easy.
