Yes, I can relate. My reading had increased exponentially since I started really listening to audiobooks in the last handful of years.
I did find Shot Through the Book on the New Book shelf at the library. I usually listen to this series, so it'll be different reading it this time. Glad to know it's great. I've enjoyed the series, though a tiny bit of me wishes she still lived at the lighthouse.

I do miss her living in the lighthouse as well but I am glad the the series has grown so that she could get married and move out. Let me know what you think of the latest one.
