Early Mongol tale ...

Deep River ...a very satisfying listen of a Finnish multi-generational tale from Finland to Oregon. Learned some history too.
Author and reader good enough to bring a tear at a couple of points and much laughter at others.
Guy Gavriel Kay is one of the few other authors that can elicit that range from me.

O'Brian certainly lots of laughter and a dictionary lookup most pages. :prof:
I'm on book 8 of 21 now. The only one I'm reading.

I started the day with 2 credits, and after much thought, spent one on this. I changed my plan to bi-monthly credits because it was due to renew at full price on the 7th, so now I have two credits total again. I'm going to pick at most one each day, but the following are the next two on my list.

Are you using Chirp as well? I've picked up some incredible history and bio books for cheap

a series of North American indigene histories
Encounters at the Heart of the World
by Elizabeth A. Fenn

The Comanche Empire

64 total with some remaining unheard ....I figure at an average of $3.50 each ( most $2.99 or $3.99 )
I've saved hundreds of dollars over Audible.

Y'know this is a superb deal on now

Maybe we can keep this thread going just for Audio Books as I'll be faced with the same dilemma this year with books I must buy. :lou:
