  • The Goose Girl by Shannon Hale


    The Goose Girl Author: Shannon Hale Reader: Full Cast Audio Short Review: A magical fairy tale brought to life by an amazing cast of readers. This modern retelling of a Grimm's tale follows Ani, Princess of Kildenree, as she finds her own inner strength and true path in life. It is officially listed for Grades 6-9, but I am here to tell you that it is a fine choice for any adult interested in getting swept along by a well told tale of magic and strength.

  • Spook Country by William Gibson


    Spook Country Author: William Gibson Reader: Robertson Dean Short Review: A good listen. Likable characters and diverse perspectives carry us through a story set in the here. The author who coined the term cyberspace delivers a carefully wrought tale of high tech intrigue. Robertson Dean reads well - not a performance I would gush about, but it gets the job done without any mannerisms that I found annoying. He faded into the background in the telling - and in my book that is just fine.
