Congratulations to all of the nominees, authors and narrators.
They all look so impressive. I must admit that I have not "read" them all, so it will be fun to see who wins this award. Considering the role of the narrator in bringing a book to life, I'm especially looking for the winning author and narrator combination.
Thank you, Sandie, for getting everything to me. It will be interesting to see what wins.
