Last I heard was Melina speaking about it at a Penguin event back in May: <br /><br />I tweeted: "Jimmy Hailler's story: he's the reluctant father of a baby. It's a 4-pronged story including short stories & a novel - WAIT for it!" <br /><br />https://twitter.com/danielle_binks/status/329751707871506434<br /><br />And I do believe one of the short stories has already appeared in an anthology: 'Just Between Us' by Maya Linden, Christie Nieman, Maggie Scott, Natalie Kon-Yu and Miriam Sved - if that was one, it was indeed brilliant and hints at big, big things.Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08440460463119645788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9005037379064329761.post-48544773935938125192013-10-02T06:26:46.536+10:002013-10-02T06:26:46.536+10:00I love how methodical you are, Danielle. ;) I like...I love how methodical you are, Danielle. ;) I like audiobooks from time to time, but I am SUPER picky about the narrator, so it's good to hear this one did such a great job. This is my favorite Marchetta novel too--BUT WHERE IS OUR JIMMY BOOK?

Rebecca Macauley also narrates On the Jellicoe Road, which I absolutely loved but I listened to SF too close to Jellicoe. I do keep on running into the same female Australian narrators quite regularly which can be problematic at times.<br /><br />In terms of recommendations, check out the Audie awards for ideas of some of the best productions each year. I have enjoyed listening to some classics via audio too.Marghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13508430635744720721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9005037379064329761.post-76048014691370872802013-09-20T17:33:05.755+10:002013-09-20T17:33:05.755+10:00This sounds amazing.
