I'll have to see if my library carries them, although I'm pretty happy with their Overdrive system and Audible.com (for a once-a-month treat).<br /><br />I read Turn of Mind back in 2011 and loved it... almost as much as Still Alice! You can see my review <a href="http://lesleysbooknook.blogspot.com/2011/08/turn-of-mind.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>. Her next novel, Circle of Wives, was less than remarkable.Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-18339287530269070142016-04-14T23:27:45.005-04:002016-04-14T23:27:45.005-04:00I love the library play-aways!

Glad to know someone else who has read it.

The children in my class, in our school, love them! I do a horrible job at listening, though. When I listened to Kashaguro's latest I missed the whole ending, and I'm just finishing a reread (listening to) The Night Circus which I loved in print. But again, I've missed the details in audio. It could be because I'm driving, but I suspect it's more because I'm a terrible listener. Not a good modality for this reader.
