I did watch a couple of movies, Hogfather for sure, and maybe something with the witches, but i didn't really like them. Same as Sabine, i find that the fantasy elements, and also Pratchett's particular wit and humor, don't translate well in movie form, imo, of course.

Vetinari is pretty cool, in his own very special way. :-) In the Tiffany books, i like the first one best because of the macfeegles and then in the later books, we get glimpses of the grannies, so i always look forward to that.

Ásgeir is gorgeous — a gorgeous voice. I guess I'm going shopping. Just wish there were more of his songs in Icelandic available on iTunes. They are so lovely. Thanks for these links.

What Karen said.

[Becky]

I've seen a couple of the movies, but they never really measure up - and I'm pretty tolerant about movie adaptations of books, I'm not all purist about it. But the movies never really capture what makes the books cool.

The witches and the guards are my favourite series books. If I want to convert someone to Pratchett I always give them either Guards! Guards! or Wyrd Sisters depending on which I think they'll like most.

There are some great one off books though. Pyramids is still a pleasure to read - with its camel called "You Bastard" :D Small Gods is brilliant. The Truth is a favourite because I like journalists as characters. I listened to the audio of that recently. It's very topical with its themes of privilege and media and behind the scenes political intrigue by the people who think they are entitled to run things.

I think most of his songs are now available in Icelandic now on this album: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/in-...

I think it's also on Amazon. One of his new songs in Icelandic is called Stormurinn, I love it but I couldn't find any video of it ;)

[Jordan]

I got a chance to listen to a bunch of the short stories on audio last night while I balled some new yarn I bought the other day.

I have to say, I really like the narrator for In Plain Sight. And I love that story. Every time I listen to it, I'm surprised by how much I like it!

[Mtsnow13]

I went through an audio binge myself during the holiday weekend :) Listened to Mummy Dearest, Criss Cross, Blame It on the Mistletoe, Turkey in the Snow, A Simple Romance, Frog, Floodgates and Cards On The Table. Was so nice to have quality books to listen to!

Wow! That is a lot of listening.

So the good news is Kevin R Free has finished recording TBWTPT. The bad news is I don't have time to listen because I'm busy writing. BUT it's coming!

[Ame]

Yay! Will it be out in time for it to be my Christmas listening?

[Mtsnow13]

Oh!! I'm so excited about TBWTPT! Any clue as to release date? (Christmas present to myself?)

Welcome back, and not just because of the good news!!

Cool! I was thinking about that the other day when i started listening to A Ghost of a Chance. He's really really good. His Kit voice is so strong in my mind, also because it *is* Kit's voice as i imagined it, so i was curious about A Ghost of a Chance, but he's different and very awesome! :-)

OK, so once again I offer to throw myself upon the sword and listen for you... ;)

I am so happy, that the audiobook will be out, I need positive things to go through the next three weeks.
And I am really happy to hear from you, Josh :-)

[Idamus]

Well, with all that Christmas talk earlier, I needed to find my favourite Christmas song

It will most likely only make any sort of sense to Anne :p

I'm going to focus on the good news. ;-)
Yay! TBWTPT in audio!

[Antonella]

Every year the BBC compiles a list of young talented musicians you'd better keep an eye on:

I don't know any of them!

If I manage to find time to listen to the files this weekend, there is a chance -- although Audible gets really backed up this time of year.

I'm trying!

No panic. It'll be a wonderful treat whenever it will be released. :-)

No rush, as we want you to be able to enjoy the holiday season too! Just happy to know its on it's way (yay!!)

I'm enjoying This Rough Magic right now, and thinking a re-listen to The Dickens With Love will be perfect too!

[KC]

I just discovered that Sean Crisden narrates Life After Joe and promptly got it. I loved the book and i like his narration style so much since The Dickens With Love and Mummy Dearest. So this will be my next listen after i finish A Ghost of a Chance.

Wow, thank you, KC! "Life after Joe" is on my favourites shelf and I was listening to Mummy Dearest last weekend and thought that the narrator did a pretty good job there. So more of my money making its way to Audible, I guess ;-)

Cool! :-)

[Susinok]

Sample Life After Joe first. I couldn't get it after listening to that sample.

[Mtsnow13]

Yes, I agree Susinok. That sample turned me off the audio :( but I did enjoy reading the book! I don't understand how a narrator I can love in another audio can turn me off with their choice to change characters.. Charlie David is a big hit or miss for me as well...

[Varecia]

Uhh, okay - well, I already bought it, because the price was very low, the equivalent of a Starbuck's coffee. I let you know what I think. Maybe I have the advantage here of not being a native speaker, it makes me much more tolerant with english audiobooks than I would be with german ones (or maybe I am just less perceptive, who knows...).

[Becky]

I couldn't get away with Life After Joe audio either. Since it's set where I live the characters have my local accent so anything even a little off about it is too glaring for me.

[HJ]

Susinok wrote: "Sample Life After Joe first. I couldn't get it after listening to that sample."

Me neither. I was wondering if it was only because I'm English so could hear that the accent wasn't a success, so it's interesting to hear you say the same.

[Susinok]

I'm not British but I know the accents. They really needed to pick a British reader for that book.

On a good note, Harper Fox reports that the narrator for Scrap Metal is really excellent. She had a hand in choosing that one.

[Anne]

Someone mentioned on FB that they were listening to the audio version of Lone Star. I really would love to to that, but where can I find the audiobook.? It isn't on Audible?

[Idamus]

Yes, in the Men under the Mistletoe anthology

This anthology includes:
My True Love Gave to Me by Ava March
Winter Knights by Harper Fox
Lone Star by Josh Lanyon
The Christmas Proposition by K.A. Mitchell

I like that one, but I wish the narrator would have used Web's father's voice for Web and Web's voice for the father. I think. That's one I never relistened to. Actually, I don't think I relisten to them almost ever, it's just I hear the one's I'm producing a LOT. The others it's just the one time through. I usually don't even finish coz I know how it ends. ;-D

[Jordan]

Yeah, it took me the entire audio book before I got used to Sean's narration in Life After Joe. He reads it so differently than anything else he's done, it almost doesn't seem to be the same person!

[Jordan]

I've been listening to Slide in audio and the narrator isn't bad. But I wish he would stop with the sound effects. When a character laughs or sighs or takes a deep breath, he does. But he does it after he says he's going to do it, since it's written in first person. It's kind of annoying. Especially the laugh, which sounds almost like it's coming from a bully, and not a loving partner.

Anyway, it's been getting me through my sick days, so I guess that's good. lol.

[Susinok]

I just finished Evil Under the Sun and started Death on the Nile. Both narrated by David Suchot.

It is annoying when a narrator does that! Wish you better, soon.

I shall finish the one I am listening to now One Plus One, then I shall enjoy Lone Star. I look forward to it :)

[Jordan]

Thanks guys. I'm getting better. Right now it's all in my throat and I'm still tired. Otherwise, my nose seems to have finally dried out! :-)

Good to hear!! Just in time to enjoy Comfort and Joy.

At this moment I am listening to ELLA WISHES YOU A SWINGING CHRISTMAS while I finish up a bunch of loose ends on a dozen different projects. :-)

[Jordan]

I had planned to listen to my copy of Swan Lake that I'd copied onto a USB drive, but my work computer isn't updated and it refuses to download some document I apparently need to play the darned thing. So, I'm listening to stress relief music that I already had on here.

Today is a day for updating websites and looking up information to include on resource pages, which requires good relaxing music, in my opinion. lol. Just irritating I can't listen to what I'd planned and looked forward to.

Yes! I wonder what her wine pairing was for that one. :-D Maybe everything in the house?

[Johanna]

I've been listening to Faith & Fidelity by Tere Michaels today. This was one of the first M/M books I ever read and I'm feeling very nostalgic while listening to it. And I'm relieved that I still like it a lot! :-)

Ooooh, I don't have that audio yet! I should get it. I've read the book at least two or three times plus snippets and loved it each time. :-)

[Jordan]

I just bought Rare, even though the narrator did some annoying sound effects, I found I like his voice for the two MCs and I was interested to know what happened next, even though I kinda thought the first one covered the ending pretty well.

So far, it's ok.
