WOW!! Thanks to Ice Blossom for starting this thread and for all of you who responded filling eight pages! I also have insomnia and usually end up reading through the night. I had not thought of audio books much less how to get them digitally, duh, And to listen while I quilt on so many devices that I own. I now have a plan to try out audible and see if the audio books work for me in the middle of the night. I read on a kindle and borrow books from the library as well as buy from Amazon. My dear wonderful Daughter turned me on to borrowing from the library for my kindle.....she has done a lot to bring me into the 21st century - technically speaking. As I say all the time "what is out there that I don't know about that would make my life better?" Thanks to you I now understand what audible is and how to get it.
I loved the Longmire tv series and did not realize there was books too. Many thanks to all of you who offered your recommendations, some of them I have read and have re-read. I now have a new list of books to read, thank you all again.
I will offer one of my favorite series that I did not see listed in the thread. Sue Grafton's alphabet series. A if for Alibi, B is for Burglar, C is for Corpse, and down to Y is for Yesterday". She did not complete the series because she died of cancer in 2017 at age 77. Her books were about the adventures of private detective Kinsey Milhone who lived in Santa Teresa, CA and the first A is for Alibi was published in 1982.
many thanks again.
