[Susinok]

My next listen will be Frog by Mary Calmes.

[Ame]

I am still listening and devouring Adrien English mysteries. DOAPK is currently playing. It is so beautiful.

[Jordan]

Criss Cross is even better than the first. I'm sad it's over.

Tried to get into Cards on the Table but I think I need a long break from Sean Crisden's voice. He's done a lot that I've been listening to lately.

So I jumped the mm ship and moved to YA. Listening to more of Croak, which I'm loving! Great story and perfect narrator for it!

[Na]

I'm listening to A Dance with Dragons. I like it...
...but It feels like it will never end.

I found an audio of Josh's I haven't listened to yet. I had it this entire time on my iPod.

Don't Look Back

[Anne]

I finished Criss Cross on Friday, now I have started the third about Whyborne and GriffinStormhaven.

I really hope the rest of the Psy-Cop series get turned into audiobooks. I have been thinking about re-reading the whole series, but listening is so fun. And I get to work on Christmas presents at the same time :)

Hah, two! I haven't listened to This Rough Magic yet either! Treasure! I need to clean out my listened-to audiobooks more often.

[Becky]

I've just started the audiobook of The Little Death. I love the narrator's voice.

Oooh, a good one. Entirely superfluous comment, as there isn't a bad one... But this has some good atmosphere in it.

Me too. I was looking up what else he narrated and found some Mercedes Lackey Valdemar books. I might just buy them. :-)

[Jordan]

OMG, The Last Herald-Mage is in audio!!! Squeeee! LOVED this trilogy. Not so much her other work, but this. THIS, was fantastic. And his narration sound perfect in the sample. Wow. I had no idea. Yay!

Now, that was one happy squee. :-D I think I heard it over here. ;-)

I need to try this series, I've added it to my wishlist, for my next batch of credits in March (I have other plans for the ones I have right now)

Well, I'm sure I don't need to tell you that I obviously loved it. Borrowed the hardcover print edition from the library and ended up buying my own used copy on Amazon, I loved it so much. Can't wait to reread it!

Clearly I have done too many audio books because I can't think who narrated that one! Yikes!

Right! Yes. No wonder the voice wasn't coming to me. Doing the novellas was an impulse -- I liked his narration though. I do remember that much.

[Susinok]

I am listening to Social Skills by Sara Alva. It intrigued me when it came up on my Audiobooks recommended list, so I spent a credit on it.

I like it. Sort of coming of age/coming out story that takes place in college. (I suppose you'd call it New Adult, a term I don't like.) The book appears to be self-published. I'm impressed with the quality of the story and writing.

[Idamus]

Fated It's OK, but not great, I like the narrator though, some guy named Gildart Jackson, he's quite good with the female voices

[Sylvia]

I'm listening to and like it very much. My next read however will be I just found it on Audible UK! I thought I had to wait until January.

It comes out earlier in the UK. Are you in the US?"

Depends on where I buy :p I have accounts with Audible.com and Audible UK.

Envy.

[Becky]

I think I'm going to end up going through the whole Henry Rios series in the audio books. It's nice for the whole series to be there and with the same narrator! I'm really loving it so far. The book itself is good - I'd think Josh fans would like the narrative style. And I am totally in love with this narrator's voice.

Anyway, the rest are on my Audible wish list to go through over the next few months.

I listened to all the audio books during our Henry Rios Mysteries challenge. I love the narrator's voice. Would be interested to hear how you think he develops over the several volumes.

Hah, you should try the audiobook of The Stand. It's nearly 48 hours long. I was listening to it for weeks! :D

[Susinok]

I am listening to Simple Gifts by LB Gregg. I bought it last year but had not listened yet. I'm almost done!

[Na]

Becky wrote: "Hah, you should try the audiobook of The Stand. It's nearly 48 hours long. I was listening to it for weeks! :D "

:D Oh dear. Good to know since I've thought about reading/listening to it. I like dystopia. Did you like the story?
So, I've checked. A Dance with Dragons has 49 hours. I can't even remember when I've started it.

[Averin]

Somewhere on Goodreads, somebody mentioned a short web series, sponsored by Montreal's tourism board and Air Canada. He or she gave a link on Logos, but this one on Vimeo is better. I loved this so much! Montreal Boy: Some Strings Attached. It's hot and extraordinary and I apologize if it was mentioned here already.

Wow!

Yes, I love The Stand. I read it a lot faster than I listened to it. I enjoyed the audio too.

[Susinok]

I am listening to Murder on the Orient Express by Dame Agatha. I just started this on the way to work this morning and it had me smiling the entire way. It's like slipping into a room filled with old friends.

I have not read or listened to any Christie in several years. I read them ALL when I was young. Teens or so, I think. It took me several years. :)

Here's a description of Poirot on the train platform, waiting to embark.

"He was so completely muffled and swaddled up that the only thing visible was the pink tip of his nose and two dark points of an upturned mustache."

This had me smiling so hard!

I think her style is very suited to audiobooks; her books move at the right pace, somehow. Miss Marple is my favourite, though. Poirot got better but he was a bit annoying sometimes!

Murder on the Orient Express is a good one!!

Yes her style seems perfectly suited to audio. The narrator is fantastic with the different accents and voices, too. So much fun!

The narrator is David Suchet and for some reason that particular recording is no longer available. But if you see that narrator, I heartily recommend him.

Thanks for sharing. I really enjoyed the bluegrass band. They have a bunch of songs on Youtube, too. :)

[Valerie]

One of the bands we went to see this week:

This Wild Life - Roots and Branches

Pink Tie

I've also been enjoying Jukebox the Ghost's new(ish) album.

Thank you for the good music. I had never heard of ''This Wild Life'' or ''Jukebox the Ghost'', I like them both.

David Suchet played Poirot in the extremely successful TV series. If you haven't seen any, I recommend them.

[Ame]

He's the one and only true Hercule Poirot

Hah! I'm not good with remembering names. No wonder the voices are so good. I found that he did some of my favorites, Evil Under the Sun, Death on the Nile, and a few others.

A useful tool to keep in one's arsenal. :-)

[KC]

Listened to A Vintage Affair; and now i'm listening to LB Gregg's Adam and Holden.

[Becky]

I'm listening to Going Postal by Terry Pratchett. I like the Stephen Briggs narrated ones. I wish he'd done a few more of my favourite Pratchetts. Though I do love his one for The Truth, which is one of my top five Discworld books.

My #1 favorite Pratchett is Hogfather. I read that one first, and I still either re-read or re-listen to it each year. I love the books with DEATH and Death of Rats in it.

Second favorite series is the witches, then the guard, then the Wizards, and lastly Moist VonLipwig.

Yes, I've thought about this entirely too much...

[KC]

I like the witches ones best, then the Vimes, then Death and Death of Rats, then Tiffany, Moist, and Rincewind. What am i forgetting?...

[Ame]

I am actually trying to listen to music for once. My favorite musician had a new (old) album out yesterday and I've been listening to it. He's quite young, only 22 and his first album came out 2 years ago. This album now has his first album, plus English versions of the songs, plus new songs, plus various remixes. I am just in awe of his talent. Totally love this music.

Here he is only 20yo with my favorite song of his: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HH6WQ...

And he also got an English accoustic version on the album which is really beautiful but I must admit I prefer the Icelandic versions of his songs. Wouldn't this be perfect for the Haunted Heart series? ;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94XQI...

And I also really love this one as well, the Icelandic version he wrote for the play "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time", I think it's absolutely beautiful, brings tears to my eyes every time I listen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAHef...

I like everything with Vimes, Vetinari and/or von Lipwig. Death and Susan are cool, Rincewind too. Tiffay isn't exactly my favorite but she's okay and I still have several books left to read, esp the older ones.

Did you watch the films? What do you think?

[Sabine]

I am very fond of the Witches and Vimes and like von Lipwig.
I an not a fan of the movies. Fantasy is in my opinion a very difficult sujet to film. You need enough money and an eye for the right conversion of the fantasy elements. And I have an idea in my mind, about how the protagonists look like.
