I just finished reading "How to Knit A Love Song" by Rachel Herron--fun quick read made even more fun by the fact that it was set locally. Also finished reading the "Inkheart" trilogy while on the road with my kids this summer and loved the conclusion to the series--a very well written kids' series. Incidentally, they are also book lover's books. Each chapter begins with a quote from a classic book. Love it! Currently reading "Persuasion" by Jane Austen. I'm all for summer reads right now! Mike, I enjoy the podcast. Thanks! I'm off to check out Phat Fibers. I have to say that your box has me even more drawn in--fiber and books? How can I resist?

I've been reading T.A. Pratt's Marla Mason series which starts with Blood Engines - contemporary fantasy, highly recommend. I also read The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms by N.K. Jemisin, which is the first in a series (book 2 this fall) and is OUTSTANDING fantasy.

This summer my daughter and I have been frequenting our local library. I really enjoyed a mystery called The Missing Ink by Karen E. Olson. A fun read and characters you can befriend. I also re-read the Charlaine Harris Southern Vampire series (10 books os far) that was the inspiration for True Blood the HBO series.

I am also "listening" to the Stieg Larsson"s series and I am on the 3rd book "The girl who kicked the Hornet's Nest". This one has started a bit slower but it is picking up. Loved the first two. Nothing better then listening to a good book and knitting. Love you Podcasts!!!

I'm sorry you switched to m4a format. It's so much more difficult for me to convert those, that I usually just don't listen to those. I have enjoyed your podcasts in the past, but find that even though I know how to convert them, it's just a hassle and I don't like to bother. Could you do both? Maybe?

I'm reading, for the second time, the Diana Gabaldon series. I've NEVER read any book twice. I am such a sucker for historical based stories. Especially, since the author has done such a great job of mixing 1940's modern with 1700's British history. Now that I've moved to a very rural area "getting back to basics" is my total mission lately. LOVE the pod/vid-casts btw!!!

My favorite book so far this summer is \\\\\\\"Mountains Beyond Mountains\\\\\\\" by Tracy Kidder. This is non fiction telling the story of Dr Paul Farmer founder of Partners In Health. Amazing man...wonderful writing, too. Just starting \\\\\\\"The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo\\\\\\\". Please no spoilers.
