Outlander by Diana Gabaldon - a genre-defying novel that has been one of my favorite books for over 20 years now.
The Starz Outlander series. You can now subscribe to Starz via Amazon Prime, or on its own. MUCH cheaper than cable. They have done an amazing job with the Outlander series so far. I am so glad that no one tried to cram this amazing novel into a 2 hour movie; 15 hours is barely enough time.
Audible.com - I drive 2+ hours a day and audio books have changed my life. Where I used to suffer from road rage, I now enjoy my drive because it's entertaining. If I'm in the middle of a particularly good book, which is the norm, I'm almost glad when it lasts a little longer. If you travel at all, I cannot recommend audio books enough. Plus, Audible has amazing sales - Two for One, Daily Deals less than $5, somehow they're always sucking me into another, amazing series. Great service.
These two... they complete me :)

I have several friends who are into audio books. I don't spend enough time doing activities that would promote a good listening spot, so maybe that's why I never got into them.
Hi Lenni, thank you for stopping by. Even if you don't have a long drive, you can listen to books while you clean, workout/walk or even when you're relaxing with a puzzle and a glass of wine :)
DeleteI had no idea that you could pay for Stars separate from your cable company! That's a good thing to know!

ReplyDeleteIt's brilliant! I imagine that many premium channels will follow suit. I believe HBO is already available, and others likely are as well. :)
