    My kids would go nuts over the Goblin book! I’ve gotten many many audios from the library over the past week…I’ve been loading up my iPod. Hotel at the Corner of Bitter and Sweet, The Given Day, The Little Stranger, The Wordy Shipmates, The Glass Castle, Wicked Prey, and I’m sure I’m missing a few more. I doubt I will get much audio time in Poland, but you never can be too prepared!

    Vasilly – It’s staring at me from my to-read stack, but there is at least one review copy ahead of it. :)

    LF – I hope to start it in the next week or so, depening on how much reading time I get this weekend. My son’s birthday is Friday night, and he’s having two friends sleepover, but since they pretty much play video games the whole time, I can usually still get some reading and blogging in.
