At least there will be lots and lots of chocolate for comfort around then. :-)

I have looked too, I have 398 audiobooks through audible and ca. 100 audiobooks on CD's, ( I have converted the audiobooks on cassette to CD's.) Additional I lent many Audiobooks from the library. I hear audiobooks since a long time - it's clear as crystal that I am pretty old! ;-)

Wow, that is a lot... I mean I had more than only audible audio books but not that much. :-)

I have listened to a lot of audiobooks as a child. In 1995 I had an eye surgery and was not allowed to read for serveral days. Then I bought my first audiobook after childhood. Audiobooks are way more important for me than to watch a movie.

I recall I loved getting audiobooks for those long road trips, and was fortunate our library had them on CD and mp3s.mand since I started with audible a couple years ago I've accumulated 374 audiobooks. They just keep sneaking up on me :-)

[HJ]

I always used to borrow audiobooks from the library, because they were prohibitively expensive to buy. Then I bought cassette ones on eBay which were cheaper because they weren't CDs. I'm very tempted to stockpile Audible ones because I can't believe they'll continue to be so cheap (relatively) once they've seen off the competition.

I agree, Sabine, that they're much more necessary to me than watching films.

[Jordan]

I've got a few audibles on my wish list that are wicked expensive. They tend to be by big name authors and also very long, I've noticed. One in particular is around $50! 0.o

I probably would have loved more audio books as a kid. I used to tape the sounds of a movie or tv show onto a cassette tape so I could listen to it whenever I wanted. When my mom got mad at me once and said I couldn't watch tv, I went into my room and put on the cassette for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, lay back, closed my eyes, and "watched" a movie! :-)

Free on Audible: Richard Armitage reading Classic Love Poems. I just listened to the sample, and he read Tennyson's "Come Into the Garden, Maud" beautifully.

Sounds promising. Thank you for letting us know, HJ!

[Varecia]

Thank you for the recommendation! Richard Armitage has a wonderful voice. It is such a pity that his narrations of Heyer are abridged :-(

I agree! I'd love to hear him reading them in full.

Finishing up Scrap Metal by Harper Fox. I loved it!

Then on to Down and Dirty by Rhys Ford, just out today.

[Anne]

I'm listening to Sylvester these evenings. I like it a lot :)

[HJ]

And as part of that process...

for lovers of Mary Renault in the UK, Fire from Heaven is Audible's deal of the day today for £2.99.

[Mtsnow13]

I've had these two sitting in my audio library for a long time and just listened to them both. Now I'm wondering why I waited so long! And they both left me with a nice, happy feeling..

Moving in Rhythm by Dev Bentham and One Real Thing by Anah Crow

[Susinok]

Book 40 in the Eve Dallas series by JD Robb... Obsession in Death. Ahhh Eve!

[Becky]

I'm listening to the BBC Radio adaptation of Neverwhere: BBC Dramatization. It's one of these things that should be amazing, with a cast chock full of amazing actors. But it's boring! I want to like Neverwhere, I do. But it doesn't click with me.

The story is too rambling. And it honestly feels like a children's story, full of wacky characters for Richard to run into. It has no really strong narrative arc. I can't figure out what anyone wants.

It was on Audible cheap, so I gave it a go and I will finish, but doubt it's one I'll listen to again.

[Mtsnow13]

After owning them for more than a year, I'm finally listening to Ava March's Brook Street Rogues series. I didn't realize the novella included in Lanyon's Mistletoe anthology was actually the first (Book #.5) in this series! And I owned it already too..what a pleasure!

I will say so far I've enjoyed Charlie Belmont narration in Thief, but not so much in Fortune Hunter :(

Note added. Couldn't handle narration of final one, Rogues, at all. Had to read it on my kindle app *sigh

Makes me wonder how the narrator decides what voice to use for his characters.

My True Love Gave to Me *included in the anthology
Brook Street: Thief
Brook Street: Fortune Hunter
Brook Street: Rogues

She writes Regency quite well!

Oh my goodness! Love Lessons by Heidi Cullinan just released on audio today.. A 10-hr audiobook for only $12.22. And the narrator sounds good.. Had to 1-click. And if you are a member that gets credits, it's only $9.77. I'm debating if I'd like to change from audible light to the 12-month prepay...

Ohhh and I just so happen to have a $10 credit in my a
Audible bank.

[KC]

I'm listening to Josephine Tey's The Daughter of Time and the narrator is amazing. The book would've been intriguing anyway, and i like the subtle sense of humor, but the narration really adds that extra something, and enhances the humor.

[Idamus]

Psycop 4 Secrets is out today :-)

I get new credits in 2 weeks, yay, birthday pressie from boyfriend, 24 credits on my birthday

Sooner or later I will :)

[Becky]

I've got it, but I'm going to save it for a weekend treat.

[Ame]

I just listened to Shiny!.... and I thing the narrator did awesome good job. Especially with the sex scenes which so often are most difficult to listen to (and probably narrate too) and at times can be a bit awkward to listen to.

But... and sorry if this is too much... the narrator did the sex scenes really well. Actually he did them really sexy. And real. It was kind of hot! Sorry for the TMI ;)

[Sabine]

I had heard Shiny! too and thought the narrator was a good one! :-)

[Sabine]

I have seen that The Trouble With Tony is out as audiobook.

[KC]

Sammie wrote: "KC, which version of Daughter of Time? the derrick Jacoby narration?"

Yes. I'm really enjoying his narration.

[HJ]

I've finally listened to The Boy with the Painful Tattoo, having first re-listened to the earlier books. Kevin R. Free did a superb job, again. His voice for the stalker was really good, and Kit and JX were as good as always.

I've also been enjoying the Kerry Greenwood Corinna Chapman mysteries on audio. (She is the author of the Phryne Fisher books which some of you have liked on TV.) They are amusing and quite clever, and the narrator is excellent. I'm in love with Corinna's gorgeous lover Daniel.

Thank God. I need that. Vic would be the narrator that could make me feel better right now. Will purchase. ASAP.

Thank you for telling us!

Listening to Obsession in Death by J.D. Robb. Downloading book 4 of the Psycop series. That's up next!

[Mtsnow13]

Just finished Love Lessons...awwww, it was just like a Disney movie. Lots of sweet. Just what I needed. Sappy romance. Even got a little teary *sniffle

[Ame]

Yeah, Love lessons is great. I have to get it in audio obviously.

[Calathea]

I finished listening to Foxglove Summer. Now I'm waiting for the next in the series. As if I needed another series to get addicted to... ;-)

Meanwhile I started Scrap Metal. I like what the narrator is doing. I agree though that his voice suggests a too old Nichol. He's supposed to be 25. I'm thinking more of 45 when I hear him. Hm.

November, is it?
With series like that I put the date in my calender and forget about them until then. Otherwise I would bite my nails for six months or a year. ;)
