NetLibrary.com is one of my favorite sites. NetLibrary has saved me a lot of trips to the public library. I always search there first for a topic that I'm interested in reading about.
Check with your local library to see if they have an account with NetLibrary.com. If your library doesn't then you might want to ask them to.
I was so happy today when I logged in to NetLibrary.com and found that my public library now has eAudiobooks available. I used to listen to audiobooks from the library all the time. Lately, I haven't been able to get to the library much. So I'm looking forward to listening to some christian fiction again.
Why listen to a book? Well, I usually crochet while I listen. So I'm enjoying two fo my favorite hobbies simultaneously. As wives and mothers, multi-tasking is key :)
Anyway, in the movie I, Robot, the comment is made that all of the libraries closed because of the internet. I must admit that I don't try nearly as hard to get to the library now that I've found so many free ebooks and so much free information online. Hmmm, maybe sites like NetLibrary.com will eliminate the need for brick and mortar libraries one day.

Closet Harmonica Player
I think that many who know me would be surprised to learn that I play the harmonica. I had never played an instrument before (besides the recorder). But about 1 1/2 years ago I guess I'd listened to one too many Stevie Wonder songs. Because I all of a sudden had an overwhelming urge to learn how to play the harmonica. So I told my husband and he laughed at me. But once he realized I seriously wanted to learn how to play he told me to go ahead.
So, I went online looking for info on how to play the harmonica. I found HarmonicaSuperstart.com. It seemed like one of those too good to be true deals. But my interest was peaked so I emailed the inventor of the system, E. Matthew Shelton, off and on all day with a ton of questions. He was very sweet and answered all of my emails within hours. That relieved me of my skepticism and I ordered the book. And the system really worked as well as the website claimed. I was playing songs on my harmonica ,which came with the book, the same day that I received it! My husband went from laughing to being extremely impressed.
So, why am I a closet harmonica player? I don't know. Harmonica Superstart gave me the confidence to move on to reading tablature. Of late I've been practicing a lot of hymns. They sound beautiful played on the harmonica. Maybe I'll start carrying my harmonica in my pocket and share a tune with some of my church family.
