    Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

    Of course you can't just "jump in" and start at this one, but it is so far my favorite! Rich with twists and turns and love and mystery and all that good stuff!


    What was one of the most memorable moments of Bethlehem Road?

    How shocked I was when.....(not telling).


    Which scene was your favorite?

    The end was the best part.

    Procrastination. Disorganization. Distractibility. Millions of adults have long considered these the hallmarks of a lack of self-discipline. But for many, these and other problems in school, at work and in social relationships are actually symptoms of an inborn neurological problem: ADD, or Attention Deficit Disorder.

    What was one of the most memorable moments of Driven to Distraction?

    When I realized that the ADHD brain actually has several advantages over a non-ADHD brain.


    Any additional comments?

    Don't listen to the "word on the street" about what this disorder is-find out the truth!

    Walking around New York City was what Mitty Blake did best. He loved the city, and even after 9/11, he always felt safe. Mitty was a carefree guyhe didnt worry about terrorists or blackouts or grades or anything, which is why he was late getting started on his Advanced Bio report.Mitty does feel a little pressure to hand something inif he doesnt, hell be switched out of Advanced Bio, which would be unfortunate since Olivias in Advanced Bio.

    If you could sum up Code Orange in three words, what would they be?

    Anxious, Hopeful, Triumphant


    What did you like best about this story?

    The strong character of the protagonist. He is the epitome of an All-American boy with a hero's heart.


    What about Jeremy Beck???s performance did you like?

    The performance was smooth and clear. Very nice job.


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

    It had very funny parts! Also, if it doesn't make you want to cry at the end, you will certainly get warm fuzzies!


    Any additional comments?

    I used this to teach infectious disease to my 7th grade science class. They're a tough sell and they LOVED it!

    Clare Hanrahan has nothing left to lose the day she stumbles into Lew Earnshaw’s arms. Her family is gone and her own life hangs by a thread after a desperate season seeking work. By the time Lew and his kindly neighbours have nursed Clare back to health, he is hopelessly in love with the frail Irish girl. But though she will always care for Lew, another man comes between them. Martin Heywood could not be more different from the gentle, idealistic weaver.

    I've got a sweet spot for this author and look forward to more books, but this one didn't have a satisfactory ending to me, but that could just be my taste. Very detailed and engaging...

    Charlotte Drummond knows she has a duty to obey her father. Girls, especially well-bred upper-class ones, are expected to be submissive to the men in their lives. But Charlotte's father is a cruel man, viciously beating her and her brothers for the slightest reason. He even wants to marry her off, at just sixteen years old; to a man she does not love. Lion-hearted Charlotte wants to defy him but to protect her brothers from his fury she agrees to become the wife of Brooke Armstrong.

Until Amy is torn from her home by her rich aunt, a woman obsessed by religion and snobbery who wants a girl she can mould as she wishes.

    This is by far one of my favorite stories ever! Any woman alive will appreciate the challenges & triumphs of Amy. Be ready to cry, rage, rejoice, and live the thrill of the redemption of true love.
