Is listening to an audio book the same as reading a book? Yes and no. I was asked this question this week and, l am listening to more and more audio books. There will always be times when reading a book is the way to go, but, if you are like me, a non driver who walks a lot audio books are the way to go.

Have you ever read books by an author and loved them so much that you read every single one?  When l first discovered Elizabeth George l did read all her early books. Here was an American writing about crimes in England with English characters. Can l just say now how much l enjoyed her writing and didn't guess at first that she was American. Then l stopped reading her books. I don't really know what happened. Other authors came along and l got interested in other books. Now this book is number 21, l think, and l stopped reading the series at about book 5/6. I think l may have dipped into some others but can't be sure. So that's quite a few books in between. Like all crime series the actual crimes change but there is also a continuing story regarding the characters.  I don't know if l will be able to pick up that story, but, l saw this book and thought it worth a read. I actually went crazy on Sunday and bought 3 books. Not bad for someone who doesn't like owning...
