    Would you listen to The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner again? Why?

    Yes, and I did. I enjoyed the perspective from an outside party view...Bree. It was facinating to hear what went on in Seattle.


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    Bri but maybe Fred. I will wonder what happened to him


    What about Emma Galvin’s performance did you like?

    She was as good as Ilyana Kadushin. Very good


    If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

    The Wasting of Bree


    Any additional comments?

    I liked it as I did with all the books. I want more. What about Fred? What about new characters with other gifts. The gifts are fun to read about. More please!

    Since the introduction of dietary guidelines calling for reduced fat intake in the 1970s, a strange phenomenon has occurred: Americans have steadily, inexorably become heavier, less healthy, and more prone to diabetes than ever before. After putting more than two thousand of his at-risk patients on a wheat-free regimen and seeing extraordinary results, cardiologist William Davis has come to the disturbing conclusion that it is not fat, not sugar, not our sedentary lifestyle that is causing America’s obesity epidemic—it is wheat.

    What was one of the most memorable moments of Wheat Belly?

    Learning I need to try this and see if it is do-able


    What does Tom Weiner bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    The reader kept an at times technical book interesting.


    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

    It scared me for my grandchildren.

    What did you like best about this story?

    I could picture the Island and the story vividly in my mind. It kept my interest even driving on the Interstate!


    Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Heidi Baker?

    Not sure but would have picked someone who could distinguish voices of the characters better.


    What would have made this romance irresistible?

    It was irresistable

    Atticus O’Sullivan, last of the Druids, doesn’t care much for witches. Still, he’s about to make nice with the local coven by signing a mutually beneficial nonaggression treaty when suddenly the witch population in modern-day Tempe, Arizona, quadruples overnight. And the new girls are not just bad, they’re badasses with a dark history on the German side of World War II. With a fallen angel feasting on local high school students, a horde of Bacchants blowing in from Vegas, and a dangerously sexy Celtic goddess of fire vying for his attention, Atticus is having trouble scheduling the witch hunt.

    What did you love best about Hexed?

    I have a horrible commute to and from work, 45 minutes in heavy traffic...Road rage bonifided if you can't think of anything else. I enjoyed listening to this book so much that I lost track of time. It is mind candy. It takes you to another place and suddenly...I'm home. I wanted to sit in my car and keep listening. The narrator was great. He kept all the characters in voice and made them believeable. I'm from Phoenix so it made the story even better but I would have liked the humor and wit if the city was New York! Starting the 3rd book tomorrow!


    What was one of the most memorable moments of Hexed?

    Leif, the vampire with a latte, speaking home boy


    Which scene was your favorite?

    Picturing Mrs MacDonagh face while thinking about Atticus in boxers


    If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

    Everything you have heard is real!


    Any additional comments?

    Loved it!

    Would you consider the audio edition of War Horse to be better than the print version?

    I love listening to books. It is my prefered reading method.


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    The horse. It was refreshing to hear the animals point of view. It made my humanity look inferior.


    Which character – as performed by John Keating – was your favorite?

    The horse Joey, and Top Thorn. Top Thorn is forever ingrained in my mind. Such a waste!


    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    When Emily walked into the house after loosing the horse. I could feel the pain of loss that you knew was gone forever.


    Any additional comments?

    I have not seen the movie yet as I know how sad it is throughout the book, I will eventually.

    When I read this book I was told it was rich in verbal visuals. What I didn't know was that I came home. Living 33 years in Flagstaff I felt like I came home. Beautifully written and I'm amazed at what most now consider hardship as being basic necessities. It was the time of my grandparents. A world we could only read about now. Wonderful book!
