Pod, Homily, and Arrietty are a family of tiny people who live beneath the floor, behind the grandfather clock in the old rectory. They own nothing - everything they have is borrowed from the "human beans", who don't even know they exist.

Would you listen to The Borrowers again? Why?

Probably. It was short, so good for listening to on a trip.

What other book might you compare The Borrowers to and why?

Watership Down. don't really know why, it just reminded me of it. Especially, when they had to move out to the field.

Which character – as performed by Rowena Cooper – was your favorite?

the boy

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

I got really upset when the mean old cook tore up the floor boards & destroyed their home. I was also really sad that the boy never knew that they made it OK.

Any additional comments?

I'm finding all these copyrights for 2003 by Mary Norton, yet my 5th grade teacher read this story to us in 1965. Must be a re-up, huh?

George R. Noory is the host of America's top late-night talk show, Coast to Coast AM, broadcast to nearly 500 radio stations in the United States and Canada. Noory truly believes that there are forces, both good and evil, at work on Earth and beyond. Fueled by a transcending experience at a very young age, he's turned his life into an investigation of the possibilities and influences of such forces, and how we can use them to enhance our lives.
Sharri says: "Almost as good as Coast to Coast AM."

Very enjoyable. I especially like the fact that George Noory read it himself.

Miss Pettigrew is a down-on-her-luck, middle-aged governess sent by her employment agency to work for a nightclub singer rather than a household of unruly children. Over a period of 24 hours, as she becomes caught up in the life of Delysia LaFloss, her own life is changed - forever. This charming, funny, light-hearted 1938 novel was a bestseller on its first appearance. Read by Academy Award winning actress Frances McDormand, who stars in the 2008 film as Miss Pettigrew.

Story

Minute by minute of Miss Pettigrew's day. I like how the chapters were broken up into minutes, like "11:41 AM to 12:15 PM". The story is carried mostly by dialog with minimal description, but it's there enough so the listener/reader can "see" the surroundings. I was enthralled. Frances McDormand does the different Voices very well. I totally enjoyed this book. Will probably listen to it again & definitely recommend it!

A highly decorated captain in the U.S. Army, Luis Montalvan never backed down from a challenge during his two tours of duty in Iraq. After returning home, however, the pressures of his physical wounds, traumatic brain injury, and post-traumatic stress disorder began to take their toll. In constant physical pain, he soon found himself unable to climb a simple flight of stairs or face a bus ride to the VA hospital. He drank; he argued; he cut himself off from those he loved. Then Luis met Tuesday, a beautiful and sensitive golden retriever....

Quentin Coldwater is brilliant but miserable. A senior in high school, he's still secretly preoccupied with a series of fantasy novels he read as a child, set in a magical land called Fillory. Imagine his surprise when he finds himself unexpectedly admitted to a very secret, very exclusive college of magic in upstate New York, where he receives a thorough and rigorous education in the craft of modern sorcery.

I liked it when Quintin got into Brinkbills & most all of his school. The story is well written & fast moving with more twists & turns than a mountain switch back. But I must admit that I got really depressed listening to it. Won't listen to it again....

Quentin and his friends are now the kings and queens of Fillory, but the days and nights of royal luxury are starting to pall. After a morning hunt takes a sinister turn, Quentin and his old friend Julia charter a magical sailing ship and set out on an errand to the wild outer reaches of their kingdom. Their pleasure cruise becomes an adventure when the two are unceremoniously dumped back into the last place Quentin ever wants to see: his parent's house in Chesterton, Massachusetts.

A smashing, award-winning debut novel that introduces Charley Davidson: part-time private investigator and full-time Grim Reaper Charley sees dead people. That’s right, she sees dead people. And it’s her job to convince them to “go into the light.” But when these very dead people have died under less than ideal circumstances (i.e. murder), sometimes they want Charley to bring the bad guys to justice.

What other book might you compare First Grave on the Right to and why?

What about Lorelei King’s performance did you like?

she has a nice voice to listen to & she did all the different characters very well

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

Hot Stuff, Incubus.
The High Adventures of The Grim Reaper.

Any additional comments?

I liked the way it was written in the first-person, with lots of little rabbit-trail-side-thoughts
--- just the way I think too, sometimes. Very humorous.

Twelve-year-old Artemis Fowl is a millionaire, a genuis, and, above all, a criminal mastermind. But even Artemis doesn't know what he's taken on when he kidnaps a fairy, Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon Unit. These aren't the fairies of bedtime stories, they're dangerous! Full of unexpected twists and turns, Artemis Fowl is a riveting, magical adventure.

Where does Artemis Fowl rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It was a fun listen. Also interesting enough that I would like to pursue the series

What was one of the most memorable moments of Artemis Fowl?

the description of how a Dwarf tunnels through the earth.

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

I liked Nathaniel Parker's voice and inflections. I don't get the inflections when I'm reading words.

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

For generations, the dragonriders had dedicated their lives to fighting Thread, the dreaded spores that periodically rained from the sky to ravage the land. On the backs of their magnificent telepathic dragons they flew to flame the deadly stuff out of the air before it could reach the planet's surface. But the greatest dream of the dragonriders was to find a way to eradicate Thread completely, so that never again would their beloved Pern be threatened with destruction.

Which character – as performed by Mel Foster – was your favorite?

I'm always partial to Jaxom and Ruth.
I preferred Dick Hill's narration The White Dragon & The Skies of Pern more than Mel Foster's narration of All the Weyers of Pern. Dick has a better Character Voices & a better Character Voice Memory. But a good narration just the same.

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

I laughed and cried. Even though I've read the story 3 times before.
Anne McCaffrey writes such Epic Novels!

Well worth the listen. I'll listen many more times. I already have all the book & I'm working on getting every Audible Pern book available.
