Powder River Rose (powderriverrose) | 116 comments It's that exciting time of year when we reflect on what's past then cast aside doubt and dream of challenges yet to conquer. There's costumes to sew, events to create, coordinate and participate in, "evil twins" to pamper, as well as household and garden to care for, all of which means lots of books to enjoy. Time's a wastin', let's get a move on.....

Powder River Rose (powderriverrose) | 116 comments 1. Franklin and Winston: An Intimate Portrait of an Epic Friendship by Jon Meacham

Excellent in both story and narration. Speaking of narration it says "read by Len Carlou" but GROVER GARDNER is the narrator and he's simply amazing; I so enjoy books narrated by him.

With the exception of #80 all are audiobooks even if the link takes you to another format. I still have a few more days of listening to go......

Powder River Rose (powderriverrose) | 116 comments 90. The Chessmen of Mars Edgar Rice Burroughs

I'm finished with the series now even though I think there are 2 more books but neither are in audio so....I'm done. A good old sci-fi series.
