Lynne, you're missing page numbers for both books. And for the second book, you just have "Nay Task", but don't specify the category.

I love audiobooks and they are my preferred method of reading.

Another audio book and some long car trips - quite harrowing in parts and I almost (not quite) had to pull over in places! Jodie Picoult has my utmost respect for the way she so thoroughly gets to grips with the issues involved in her stories.
