Bettyrob, I also use Audible. I pay the yearly price for 24 book credits (one per book) and also take advantage of the deals and sales that pop up (two books for one credit, Daily Deals, etc.). Google Play now has some free audio books, as well, and more to buy: play.google.com/store/books/category/audiobooks
TiggyW, American here and I'm offended (not really) Just wondering why our novels are anathema to you. There are quite a few I like, although I freely admit I often seek out British shows on Britbox and Acorn and read a lot of British novels. Whether British, American or "other", I love lots of character development, description, and well-crafted plots. I stay away from the gruesome, depressing, action for action's sake types and those with overused "twist endings" . Just finished all of the DC Smith novels and am watching "Vera".
