[quote=Anonymous]I listened to 6 audiobooks this month and just got started on the 7th one.
First I listened to "My Italian Bulldozer" by Alexander McCall Smith, which I mentioned earlier this month.  It is about a guy who has a business trip to Italy and his rental car reservation falls through so he ends up renting a bulldozer to drive around during his visit.
Then I listened to the 14th book in a cozy mystery series about a caterer in Colorado who keeps encountering freshly murdered people during her catering events.
Then I listened to a book in a cozy mystery series about a woman who lives in a campground.  Tonya Kappes is the author and she publishes a new book every couple weeks.  They are all cheesy and superficial, but they are short and they march along quickly so I can listen to an entire book while making dinner for the family and cleaning up after dinner. 
Then I listened to a kids book called Finally Heard.  It was about a girl who recently emigrated to the U.S. from China. I liked it.
Then I listened to the 15th book in the cozy mystery series about the caterer in Colorado.  I decided about 6 months ago to listen to all 17 books in the series and I only have 3 more to go.  I find I need to listen to a "fluffy" book or two in between each of her books because I need a break from all the murdering. 
Next was a book called "Definitely Better Now", which I finished yesterday.  It is about a 26 year old woman who has one year of sobriety in AA and is trying to figure out how to "do" life sober. I liked the book, though it felt a little like it was more of a young adult book at times.  
I just started listening to "Tilt" today.  It is about a woman in Portland who is 37 weeks pregnant and shopping for a crib mattress when a massive earthquake hits the area.  She can't find her phone or her purse or her car keys in the mess so decides to walk home.  The main character narrates the story as if she is talking to the baby in her belly, which is kind of different but okay I guess.  I am about 1/3 of the way through the book and enjoying it.
