I joined Audible.com about...oh, months ago, just for the "free one-month trial" and...totally forgot that I had signed up! However, Audible didn't, and has been charging our credit card steadily over the past few months- annoying.
Anyway, I went on the site to cancel our membership, and found that I had loads of credits waiting for me- you get one credit (one book) for free a month. So, before canceling it, I made sure to download all I could, one of which was "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett. I had heard good things about this novel, and felt like I had seen the cover just about everywhere.
I started listening to it today while I was cooking (and then when I was knitting), and wow- it's really great! Or, the women reading it are especially good, which is certainly the case. I can't imagine reading the book now w/out hearing those voices! I don't know much about it, but so far, it's about race in 1960s Mississippi- it's written from the point of view of the housekeepers. The writing is really fantastic!
Anyway, highly recommended!

You are a real book worm, Alissa! Here's one to try "The Thousand Autumns of Jacob DeZoet."
