14 hours, 35 minutes, and 48 seconds :)

I'm amusing myself with the precise time-keeping for some reason.

I just finished I Am the Messenger by Markus Zusak.  I don't have anything stunning to comment on -- It may be that it (and The Book Thief) was talked up so much to me that it just couldn't help but disappoint?  Not that I didn't like it, because I did, but just that there isn't much for me to say about it for some reason. 

My plan was to listen to more of The Woman in White next, but Beth just brought over Double Identity, so I think that after I post here, I'm going to head to the bathtub for a nice soak with a non-heavy book.  I do hope, however, to return to The Woman in White after the bath. =)  My husband and daughter are at the art museum.  If Double Identity is anything like a typical MPH book, I may just finish it up before they return!

I'm still wishing I could get my hands on To Say Nothing of the Dog  to meet Dara's challenge/pledge.  But I'm not sure it will happen.  Maybe when my husband returns I'll ask him to double check that we don't own it.

Finished:
