    "A beast. Not quite wolf or bear, gorilla or dog but a horrible new creature who walks upright – a creature with fangs and claws and hair springing from every pore. I am a monster. You think I’m talking fairy tales? No way. The place is New York City. The time is now. It’s no deformity, no disease. And I’ll stay this way forever – ruined – unless I can break the spell...."

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

    Sure because the narrator brought the book and characters to life. I love to hear the various voices.


    What was one of the most memorable moments of Beastly?

    When he realize that he can be good and it will be the right thing for her to let her go so she could go to find her father


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

    The change, because his voice got gentle. Or when the beast roars.


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    Yes, and I almost did it.


    Any additional comments?

    It is a teen book, that is clear but it is well told. The story itself is old and moved to the present day. Nice entertainment for the ride into work.

    The year is 1803 and England and France remain at odds. Hoping to break the English once and for all, Napoleon backs a ring of Irish rebels in uprisings against England and sends the Black Tulip, France's most deadly spy, to the Emerald Isle to help. Meanwhile, not to be outdone by her husband, Letty Alsworthy steals away on a ship bound for Ireland, armed and ready to fight for her spouse and to learn a thing or two about spying for England.

    Nothing specific. Letty is a very nice person, maybe a little naive. And Eloise, she is fun and really want to know Colin. I like her and the two stories in this series.


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    Nobody specific.


    Have you listened to any of Kate Reading’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    I listened to a lot of books performed by Kate Reading. For me she is the best!


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    No, just hearing it on my daily commute to work.


    Any additional comments?

    non.

    Just as Jane Jameson’s unlife seems to be stabilizing, fate sinks its fangs firmly into her butt. Despite her near-phobia of wedding planning, her no-frills nighttime nuptials to her sexy boyfriend, Gabriel, are coming along smoothly. That is, until she turns a fatally wounded teenage acquaintance, and the Council pronounces her responsible for the newborn vamp until he can control his thirst.

    What did you love best about Nice Girls Don't Bite Their Neighbors?

    The things that always happens to Jane...the comicalness of the situation. The humor, the verbal exchange, everything...I often have to laugh out loud.


    What was one of the most memorable moments of Nice Girls Don't Bite Their Neighbors?

    The marriage proposal from Gabriel and their both declaration of love to each other.


    Which character – as performed by Amanda Ronconi – was your favorite?

    Jane, Gabriel and especially Dick.


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    Sure


    Any additional comments?

    The fourth book was much funnier than the third book. The story went on and I'm looking forward to read the fifth book? Or hear the fifth audiobook (this would be nice)...so please don't stop.

    Nothing sucks the romance out of world travel like a boyfriend who may or may not have broken up with you in a hotel room in Brussels. Jane Jameson's sexy sire Gabriel has always been unpredictable, but the seductive, anonymous notes that await him at each stop of their international vacation, coupled with his evasive behavior over the past few months, finally push Jane onto the next flight home to Half Moon Hollow -- alone, upset, and unsure whether Gabriel just ended their relationship without actually telling her.

    Once a devoted children's librarian, Jane Jameson now works at a rundown occult bookstore. Once a regular gal, she's now a vampire. And instead of a bride, she's an eternal bridesmaid -- which leads her to question where exactly her relationship with her irresistibly sexy sire, Gabriel, is headed. Mercurial, enigmatic, apparently commitment-phobic vampires are nothing if not hard to read.

    Maybe it was the Shenanigans gift certificate that put her over the edge. When children's librarian and self-professed nice girl Jane Jameson is fired by her beastly boss and handed $25 in potato skins instead of a severance check, she goes on a bender that's sure to become Half Moon Hollow legend. On her way home, she's mistaken for a deer, shot, and left for dead.

    Dexter Morgan is not your average serial killer. He enjoys his day job as a blood spatter analyst for the Miami Police Department... but he lives for his nighttime hobby of hunting other killers. Dexter is therefore not pleased to discover that someone is shadowing him, observ­ing him, and copying his methods. Dexter is not one to tol­erate displeasure... in fact, he has a knack for extricating himself from trouble in his own pleasurable way.

    An intricate tale of love, haunting memories, and renewal, Second Glance begins in current-day Vermont, where an old man puts a piece of land up for sale and unintentionally raises protest from the local Abenaki Indian tribe, who insist it's a burial ground. When odd, supernatural events plague the town of Comtosook, a ghost hunter is hired by the developer to help convince the residents that there's nothing spiritual about the property.

    Where does Second Glance rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

    Die Geschichte hat mich angesprochen. Jodi Picoult hat eine Gabe Geschichten zu erzählen, die berühren. Sie greift Themen auf, die verschwiegen werden und erzählt sie mit einer Sensibilität die erstaunt.


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    Lili und 'grey Wolf'. Liebe kennt keine Grenzen.


    Which scene was your favorite?

    Das Buch in dem Buch.


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

    Als Lili die Anstalt besucht und begreift, was dort mit den Menschen gemacht wird. Ich war entsetzt und wütend...denn sowas gab es wirklich.
