They added so much fun and detail to the story!<br /><br />I love quirky old photos like that.

I love the books so much, I don't know why I haven't thought of the audio versions! <br /><br />Kimberly--Here's hoping it makes the road trip go quicker as well! <br /><br />Alex--Happy holidays to you, too! <br /><br />LG--Ohhh, I like the quote! And yes, I've likely cried after reading my crap, but this time, it was pure emotion, baby! :)<br /><br />Seabrooke--Thanks for the suggestions! Last Xmas I listened to The Graveyard Book and thought it was fascinating! I have to check out the others. Thanks for the tips! <br /><br />Thanks, Claudie! You, too! Since I haven't read the book, I'll just have to assume the audio version will come in just a hair behind the actual reading experience. But I won't lie, I'm eager to have someone read for me! <br /><br />Ade--I know, my dad was funny like that. But I love the innocence. Neither my brother or I were old enough to be jaded and think, "This is stupid." <br /><br />Sarah--Man, I've heard SO MANY rave reviews about Leviathan. I'm glad I'm finally getting around to it. I'll tell you ALL about it on the 8th. :) <br /><br />Juliana--Will do, thanks! I will tell you I was most impressed with Kristin Cashore's Graceling audiobook. It says on the back that there are age appropriate voices and music. It feels like more of an ensemble than one person reading. However, it was too long; 12 hrs, I think. I passed. For now.TL Conwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08831728300345220814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875999221456761044.post-33130346358095611032011-12-20T14:55:35.937-06:002011-12-20T14:55:35.937-06:00Hey lady, I've started an audiobook review on ...Hey lady, I've started an audiobook review on Fridays.

The first thing I thought when I saw that pic was, "What are they looking at?" :) <br /><br />I have gotten emotional writing scenes, but so far haven't cried. Kudos to you for writing through that! <br /><br />I don't listen to a lot of audiobooks but my niece tells me that "Along for the Ride" by Sarah Dessen was pretty amazing.<br /><br />Have a safe trip and an awesome holiday.Adrianne Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18108123882094459747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875999221456761044.post-4837399595719488082011-12-19T16:06:30.662-06:002011-12-19T16:06:30.662-06:00Ooh, I hope audio Leviathan is as good as reading ...Ooh, I hope audio Leviathan is as good as reading it is.
