While I don't have as much on my iPod as you do, one book and too many podcasts, I'll still probably never get through them all either. I've subscribed to too many short story podcasts.
It took me a little while to get used to Raver as the narrator for The Aviator's Wife but once I did, I loved the book. I think I too closely identified her with Adelaide from A Land More Kind Than Home.
I've been wanting to read/listen to Aviator's Wife ... can't find the time.
We're obviously reading the same reviews... they're all on my list, too!
I read The Aviator's Wife for book club recently. If you haven't read the book The Gift of the Sea you definitely should!
You must have the most hugest iPod in the universe! LOL
I've had my eye on Bunker Hill, hopefully it's a good one!
We are reading AVIATOR'S WIFE for July's book club. I have the audio version.
I loved The Aviator's Wife. It was really good. I can't wait for your thoughts on it when you get around to listening to it.
