Nice to see another insomniac in the thread I wasn't so impressed with my old Kindle's audio options so ran it through an ipod home station that acts as my alarm clock/radio. My old iPod is no longer supported by either Apple or Overdrive, much less Libby. Now have a Galaxy tablet and am fine with the audio quality and volume. I use my library website on my computer where I can easily read and navigate the options. Once I have the book on hold or when it is ready, Libby is synched to where it automatically comes up on the tablet. Overall, I think Libby is an improvement over the Overdrive technology and is relatively easy to use.

Last night/this morning I listened to the latest Magical Cats book by Sofie Kelly, a series of cozy mysteries starring a librarian in Minnesota along with her townmates and a couple of (you guessed it) Magical Cats.

I've gone through a bunch of holds dropping on me and think I have some time to attend to a couple other books before I expect the next set of books I ordered months ago... Next up is book 2 of the Dragon series by Robin Hobb, Dragon Haven. Then I'll try another presumably cozy mystery, Murder Plain and Simple by Isabela Alan first in a series which is set in Amish country and includes a french bulldog and quilting... sounds like it will work for me!

For the less cozy type of thing but set in the Indiana Amish community, I like Linda Castillo's Kate Burkholder series. Kate left the Amish community but has come back as sheriff in her small town.

Railroad -- Thanks for the reminder of Leif Enger, I have (because of this thread/your suggestion) listed to both Virgil Wander and Peace like a River -- just put So brave on my wish list to remind me!
