request & catching up

Request first: I'm about to spend 13 hours in a car over the weekend, just me, so I'm looking for long-ish podfic recs. Almost any fandom will work, just point me to your favorites? merci.

books -- I, uh, put down Boy, Snow, Bird and haven't picked it back up again. The library is getting snippy about it, too. (due dates, sigh.) I'm sort of reading 10% Happier, and still listening to the third Dresden book and the BBC Neverwhere production.

tv -- I watched 9? 10? episodes of Once Upon a Time this weekend, so I'm all caught up there and wow, I might have to skip Peter Pan's Flight the next few times we hit the theme park, because I'm not shaking that characterization any time soon. The boys will be super-thrilled to drop that line, though.

In further TV news, my beautiful crack has come back to meeeee aka, Sleepy Hollow, 2x01 spoilerish babble
Ichabod's cross-bow has a laser sight, gleeee. Franklin takes air baths, snerk. Ichabod will return for Abbie! Abbie will hold fast! god, I love this show.
