A haunting and enigmatic tale that will keep you awake and wondering long after you've finished this classic mystery. Everyone agreed that the day was just right for the picnic to Hanging Rock - a shimmering summer morning warm and still, with cicadas shrilling.... St Valentine’s Day, in the midst of the hot summer of 1900, a party of schoolgirls went on a picnic to Hanging Rock. Some were never to return....

If you could take any character from The Lady of the Rivers out to dinner, who would it be and why?

In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by 12 outlying districts.

Which character – as performed by Carolyn McCormick – was your favorite?
Beetee. The way he is with the rest of the victors but when they look at the tapes of the past victors they see his abilities. Shocking!
Any additional comments?
I love this series and my students love them too

Witness her transformation as you enter a world where appearances are paramount, virginity is auctioned to the highest bidder, women beguile powerful men, and love is scorned as illusion.

Lisbeth Salander—the heart of Larsson’s two previous novels—lies in critical condition, a bullet wound to her head, in the intensive care unit of a Swedish city hospital. She’s fighting for her life in more ways than one: if and when she recovers, she’ll be taken back to Stockholm to stand trial for three murders. With the help of her friend, journalist Mikael Blomkvist, she will not only have to prove her innocence, but also identify and denounce those in authority.

To be irrevocably in love with a vampire is both fantasy and nightmare, woven into a dangerously heightened reality for Bella Swan. Pulled in one direction by her intense passion for Edward Cullen, and in another by her profound connection to werewolf Jacob Black, she has endured a tumultuous year of temptation, loss, and strife to reach the ultimate turning point.

Another final book that left me wanting
Revisado: 07-12-12
Where does Breaking Dawn rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
It is ok. I just can't love final books like I do the first in the series
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
As much as I love the characters I think you needed some death
What does Ilyana Kadushin and Matt Walters bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I don't think anything. I don't want to say they did a bad job but just not something I couldn't get reading the book.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No.
