Shannon Hale’s magical retelling of the Grimms's fairy tale of the princess who became a goose girl before she could become queen is a wonderfully rich one, full of eloquent description and lovely imagery, and with a complex plot, a large cast of characters, and a strong female protagonist. I enjoyed listening to Part 1 before deleting it from the MP3 player! Children's librarianship never fully dies...
As for the process of ListenNJ downloading and transferring to the player goes, I found it to be more time-consuming than hoped for. Having to download the overdrive software, update the windows media security certificate, and then do the actual steps required to get the book onto the Sansa player, I can only hope that this is far quicker from a home computer where the necessary software remains available for regular use. A great service, but can we make it easier to use within our branches?
Happy to have completed 'Thing One' of the BM Web Challenge! Onward ho! Thanks for getting me back on track with new 2.0 technology learning!
