Thanks Michelle. Yeah this was my first Xe Sands audio and she blew me away with great narration. Spotlight still boggles my mind. Enjoy the holidays!

Jane – I think you will like The Transcriptionist on audio if you recall those paste-up days! Yeah Tender Is the Night seems a bit of a train wreck but I just finished it and am gathering my thoughts for a review. Have fun in the snow!

And to you as well.

I liked it but I remember being somewhat horrified that such a job used to exist. I am sure Xe did an excellent job narrating; she always does!

My husband and I really want to see Spotlight. Perhaps it is something we will get around to seeing over the holidays.

Have a good one!

I remember the days of paste up and layout, pre-computer!

I didn’t like Tender is the Night either–I love The Great Gatsby and Fitzgerald’s short stories, but I found nothing of interest in Tender is the Night, when I read it decades ago.

Happy Holidays! It’s cold and snowy here in Colorado too 🙂

Oh Xe Sands did a terrific job with this book. You’ll like it!

Yeah I find it quite detailed and that I need breaks from it. But I hope to finish in the next day or so. Have you gone to Disneyland or is it coming up? Enjoy your trip there!

I think the audio would be the way to go for me because I love Xe Sands narration.

I think it was because I knew my next couple of days was going to be busy with Disneyland, etc. I wanted to be sure I didn’t flake out like I did with Neverwhere in October. I think I maybe read it too fast though! So many details escape me.
