I've listened to two of her books so far, There's No Place Like Here and Rosie Dunne, and they are wonderful!  The readers have lilting Irish accents and the stories are wonderfully told.  I have PS I Love You in paperback, but I might just see if I can get the audio form.  I totally recommend her!  http://www.paperbackswap.com/book/author/Cecelia+Ahern

I do like her.  Maybe it is because of my desire to go to Ireland & Scottland someday but I love the Irish accents in reading and listening.

I will have to check out her audio books, I havent listened to any of them yet.  Thanks for the recs!

I looked her up on Wikipedia, as I didn't know who she was. I didn't know she created Samantha Who? in addition to writing novels.  Interesting.

She's also the daughter of Irelands former Taoiseach (head of government).
