Life here at Casita de Brinkley is pretty ordinary -- we aren't trail blazing people! The Hubs has his cameras and his woodworking, and the ever-

I have explored audio books as well as e-books. It has been really nice having a chunk of time each day that I can devote to reading and not feel guilty about taking time away from something else more important (read: laundry and dishes). The audio books definitely made the commute more relaxing. Now that I am home for the summer I am not only reading, I am able to enjoy my other guilty pleasure -- watching vintage movies.
The first audio book I listened to was "Folly Beach" authored by Dorothea Benton Frank and read by Robin Miles.
The book made several references to a Fanny Hurst book "Imitation of Life".
Since the 1950's movie by the same title is one of my favorite movies (yes, I saw it as a 9 year old in the theater -- we didn't have movie ratings at the time) I was compelled to purchase the book and it is now in my reading queue.
So, night before last I found myself curled up on the couch, in a quilt, watching (read: weeping) "Imitation of Life" once again.
It never loses it's appeal for me and I just can't wait to start the book!
