What we're listening to
I'm listening to I Spy Something Bloody, and I'm really pleased that I have a long drive tomorrow and can get really stuck into it. I bought the full collection!Mark's just seen Stephen drive off in another man's sports car...

I have been listening to the whole collection this weekend, I have enjoyed it immensely, a very beautiful narration. And the books themselves, as always it is a pleasure to revisit Josh's stories.

Mark's just seen Stephen drive of..."
I'm only a little bit ahead of you in the I Spy Something Bloody audio book, Hj. :-) I ALWAYS tremendously enjoy revisiting these two guys — I love, love, love the dynamics between them. And I find all the I Spy... stories extremely uplifting. If a guy like Mark who has screwed up big time in a relationship manages to have a second chance... well, then anything is possible in life. ;-)
And Manu, if you are lurking in the shadows, I found myself thinking of you while I listened to I Spy Something Bloody today. And the reason for that is our nice chat in Manchester and the realization that we both appreciate older men (in books, anyway). :-)
I bought The Best Man as an audio book just minutes before I found out about I Spy.... making me throw a tantrum but I shouldn't have doubted Kristan Higgins. She really is an excellent author.... I'm 2 chapters into the book and the poor heroine just can't catch a break. Her boyfriend/fiance of eight years outs himself on the wedding day.... her next two hit ons are gay, then there's an drug addict and a married man. Perfect listening to while doing the housework.
Mod
It doesn't feel like nine months have passed since
, which is a good thing since having read/reread the print version "recently" reminds me that things get better for these guys... better and better and we see in Haunted Heart. : )

Manu, where are you? You need to listen to Stephen's lovely accent!
Mod
Yeah, I was also thinking about the one lunch when Manu, you and me shared a table. It was so nice to talk together. It was great to get to know you two a little better. We talked about our countries and our interests (studying, etc.) and even religion (LOL), but I also remember that Manu had this cool plot all planned out and it involved art theft in Firenze. We agreed that Josh should write something similar for Will and Taylor. ;-)
Mod
Maybe that's what Manu's doing? She became an art thief!
I started listening to I Spy Something Bloody on my way to work this morning. It's funny, I'm from Virginia and I was thinking how nice it is to listen to the narrator's British accent!Virginia accents can vary a lot, depending on the region and whatnot. But I'm from the same area where the book takes place, and I think (from what I've heard so far) he does a good job with Stephen's accent. It doesn't make me cringe or anything. ;-)
I am really enjoying the narration. I think I have a soft spot for Mark. I just love him. :-)
Mod
Lol.
I just saw the I Spy in audio this morning as I wonder what to take on my long car trip next week. I've always loved that series, especially the setting. Even with all the bloodiness, the setting is a bit comforting.
Someone mentioned Marshall Thornton's books on audio. I might try those too. But are there any other MM authors on audio? Part of me is curious, the other part of me wonders what will happen once I've listened to all of Josh's works, aside from listening to them again!
Jordan asked if there are any other m/m audiobooks. I like LB Gregg's Smithfield series in audio.
Hj wrote: "Jordan asked if there are any other m/m audiobooks. I like LB Gregg's Smithfield series in audio."Oh I liked that series. I'll add those to my wishlist.
Hj wrote: "Jordan asked if there are any other m/m audiobooks. I like LB Gregg's Smithfield series in audio."I like them too (in ebook and audio form both). Got all of them as audio books. It's great pastime while driving. :-)
I checked Chris Patton's Facebook page and saw he posted on Sept. 23 that he had a week of intensive audiobook work to do. I commented that I hoped it was Death of A Pirate King!
Jordan wrote: "I must say The Lanyon Home For Wayward Readers has a really nice, comforting ring to it. I'll share my MM library with ya'll if you let me move in. Provided, of course, that no damage befalls my bo..."Some other m/m audio books that I enjoyed include:
One Real Thing
A Reason To Believe
Clear Water
Widdershins
American Love Songs
Out of the Pocket (not really m/m but good YA Coming out/coming of age story)
I also LOVED The Student Prince and the audio is free (and read by the author): http://www.audiofic.jinjurly.com/stud...

Hey! That's interesting! Thank you!

It's a fun read (listen)! I highly recommend it. She does a great job with the narration.
Mod
And on this note, LB and I are both doing Christmas audio releases this year. Mine is The Dickens With Love narrated by Sean Crisden (what a professional that guy is, what a pleasure to work with!) and Simple Gifts by a newish narrator Chase Miller.
Two little heartfelt audio books ready for the holidays.
Mod
He just finished and submitted the files for Death of a Pirate King. So now I have to listen, he has to do the edits, and then we should have a book ready to go by late October/early November.
I can't wait to hear his DoaPK.
Mod
AND Adrian Bisson has uploaded the files for Blood Heat, so we're getting there!

Yay! Me, too, can't wait. I think that's my favorite one of the series.
Mod
How is it possible that I have forgotten that The Dickens With Love will soon be released in audio. That's my favorite Christmas present, right there. Seriously. :-)
And thank you for letting us know about the Simple Gifts, too. I love it.
Mod
Me neither. :-)
Oh Josh, what lovely treats in store! I have an awful lot of sorting and tidying to do, and all these wonderful audiobooks will make the task not only palatable but pleasurable. I'm glad I bought extra credits at Audible!

*Screams* I hope this week! I'll have reliable wifi this week to download that before I take my road trip. *makes fangirly noises* OMG.... lol. hehehehe....
Mod
Thank you for this awesome list!
Mod
Oh good! A Harper Fox book! I've only read one of her's but I loved it and would like to read more, I just feel like there's never enough time. This should solve that problem!
Mod
Can't wait for Pirate King either! Squeeee!

Oh, noooo, not Josh. Never.
Josh wrote: "Three quarters of the way through Death of a Pirate King. It's very good. The best yet."I'm very pleased to hear this. Have been hanging around with my tongue hanging out, waiting for this one.
Mod
It's good. It really is the best so far. Chris does a top notch job with this one. I'm very excited for you all to hear it.
I'm not teasing! I'm just excited about this. :-D
Mod
This is worse than waiting for Christmas! :D
I want this one and I'm not kidding. :-)
I'm listening to the audiobook of the 2nd Chaos Walking book.
It's a brilliant reading by the narrator Humphrey Bower. He makes all the voices, including the female ones, so distinct, without them sounding silly.
If Death of a Pirate King is out by the 16th of this month then it's going to have to fight it out with the third part of this trilogy. :D

I can't imagine it'll be out by the 16th. ACX is taking a long time to get books into the sales channel. In Sunshine or In Shadow might be out by the 16th. But I'm guessing Pirate King won't be available until November at this time.
Okay, Monsters of Men it's likely to be then. November?! Right in the middle of NaNoWriMo? You fiend! :D

It is my favorite of the AE books.... and if this is the best audiobook?

I downloaded I Spy Something Bloody ok, let's give it a try. I was driving along not real happy about having to make the trip when the scene of Mark tripping over the dog started, I was smiling and the trip became worth the drive to have that much time alone with Mark and Stephen. I am slowly working my way thru the catalogue and I know I will continue to find gems like today. And that is why I love Josh Lanyon books, you just never know were a scene will lead you.
