Yuri, too bad you weren't there to see what a great job he did. He is a true audiobook fan and was a gracious and classy host. I always find it refreshing that our industry embraces participants, listeners and fans from all walks of life.

Yeah... I was sort of catching Robin's "spin-offs" all evening. The first time I interrupted her, she was talking to Donald Katz (God-Emperor of Audible.com). My jaw dropped and I mumbled something incoherent while staring at the hand…

I have to admit; I was unfamiliar with Gary before, and was a little wary coming into the ceremony, based on the reputation of the show, but I think he was a perfect host for the night! His enthusiasm for, and familiarity with, audiobooks of all…

Actually I left my librarian job a year ago in March...under a a toxic cloud, unfortunately... and now I work for JetBlue from home---very sweet--and substitute for the local county library system. Hence the "free-range librarian" gig. Never been happier :o)
