Yes, Antonella, you do."

In that case you should really try this steampunk :) Excellent narration by Alan Cum..."

I love Scott Westerfeld. He's got some good YA I've read from the library :-D

[Mtsnow13]

I'm currently listening to Garrett Leigh's Slide and Rare and enjoying the narration quite well.

[Jordan]

I loved Slide and Rare. I loved the narrator, except when he attempted sound effects like coughing, whistling, and sighing. Those got in the way. Otherwise, he was good.

Which was funny because the narrator for The Persian Boy did some of those sound effects and was fantastic at them. They sounded more natural and didn't detract from the story at all.

[Antonella]

I'm *not listening* to you all!

[Ame]

So I bought Down and Dirty for a credit and Love Lessons for money because 9,77 is just dirt cheap for this lenght of a book. And I know I'll love it. Can't wait to have time to start listening, too bad I don't know which to start with but it'll probably be Down and Dirty since I'm listening to Dirty Deeds.

Ben Aaronovitch's Midnight Riot. It's a mystery with urban fantasy elements and the MC is occasionally funny. Good, engaging story so far.

Just finished Slide and Rare by Garrett Leigh. Actually enjoyed them quite a bit!

I noticed! :-) which is why i thought i'd try it, and i meant to leave a comment. It was just the thing to listen to yesterday. And most likely today too :-)

I also enjoyed Fated and Eyes to See

[Jordan]

I'm now listening to The Boy With The Painful Tattoo and loving it. This is hands down my favorite in the series in both print and audio. :-)

[Mtsnow13]

Don't know if anyone interested in A.A. Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh Vol. 1, but 2 hrs of this story are on special on audible for .99 today

I just saw this Dr. on Ted Talk and looked up her book Mind Over Medicine: Scientific Proof That You Can Heal Yourself by Lissa Rankin and saw her book was only $2.99, and her audiobook was whispersynced for only $4.59.

Here's the two Ted Talks that made me curious. Might be out there, but I'm always fascinated with Mind Over Matter issues, and the Power of Optimism.

Is there scientific proof we can heal ourselves? Lissa Rankin, MD

The Shocking Truth About Our Health

[Valerie]

I finished listening to Stormhaven yesterday. I did not care for the narrator and I think that affected my enjoyment of the book. I might have to go back and reread it and see if I like it more.

I just started Dead Heat this morning. I wish I didn't have to work so I could listen all day. I love this series and love the narrator, Holter Graham. Great listen so far. :)

[Becky]

I got a £10 voucher from Audible for using 3 credits in February. Immediately went and bought the audio of The Remains of the Day, narrated by Dominic West. Been on my Wish List for a while. I have more unlinstened to ones at the moment than I've ever had before!

[Karen]

I listened to Hamlet, Prince of Denmark: A Novel over the past week, and finished last night. The narrator is the very excellent Richard Armitage. The novelization is rather brilliant, more than a bit unpleasant, perhaps a bit too postmodern for my taste, and likely a bit too clever. If you are Hamlet-knowledgable this is definitely an interesting listen. Notable: what is done with the soliloquies; this take on relationships between fathers and sons; Horatio's diminished role (for reason); several in-jokes referencing other plays and naming the players. Hartley and Hewson include post-performance comments, explaining themselves somewhat.

Has anyone else listened to this or to the authors' novelization of MacBeth?

[Sabine]

That sounds interesting. I have seen Hamlet and MacBeth in various performances. I think, I will rather read it first.

I got it a while ago when it was free, but I haven't listened yet

[Jordan]

Just started JCP's latest Psycop audio release. :-) I love Vic, so much. I think someone should start a Twitter account @Lets69 just for him. hehe.

[Karen]

Sabine wrote: "That sounds interesting. I have seen Hamlet and MacBeth in various performances. I think, I will rather read it first."

To be clear, these books are not Shakespeare's Hamlet or MacBeth (in any of their versions). They are novelizations of the stories, and the authors do not always "follow the script." I'd say that to really appreciate them (or really critique them) you would need to know the plays reasonably well.

This is what I've been listening to today, too. : )

I had read the blurbs :-) and read and watch Shakespeare'plays since my first encounter at school. I have a thing with mysteries (more the old fashioned kind)
and they are quite often "play" in a theatre. For example Light Thickens or Killer Dolphin or The Dirty Duck.

This sounds interesting, although I would miss Horatio (he's my favourite character, and I'm sure was a very good friend to Hamlet).

There is one! @VictorBayne, with username Lets69. And @AshMan_Namaste for Crash. :D Jordan set them up. Victor's is an egg, no picture, no profile set up (because imagine him trying to figure out how to put a picture up and then trying to decide which picture and hating them all and giving up.) Crash's has a profile picture and info and a banner picture and stuff of course.

But neither of the accounts have tweeted since 2013. :-( Aww.

I could see a few of my characters having Twitter accounts, or their meta selves rather than in-book selves anyway! But I must not be tempted, I don't have time to start making them all have conversations with each other.

LOL! What a fun idea for Jordan to do. :-)

I remember tweeting with Aleksander Voinov's Silvio (Dark Soul series) a few years ago. I haven't checked for a while if Silvio still has his account. :-)

[Jordan]

Lol, I'll have to check them out!

I'd forgotten about Silvio. I think I found that one after Aleks was done tweeting as Silvio.

Horatio is still there, but his role is further diminished (for a reason).

Yes, I enjoy these too!

[Loretta]

I am listening to Rhys Fords Tequila Mockingbird. One character told another character that if he discovered any more dead bodies,someone would think he was a owned a mystery bookstore in Pasadena. Made me laugh. I love Rhys' narrators, but the way he pronounces Duarte is making me crazy.

[Susinok]

I am listening to Secrets by Jordan Castillo Price. I am so in love with these books again!

Next up in honor of Terry Pratchett's passing, I will listen to Raising Steam. I knew I was saving that for a reason... I am so going to miss new books from him, and he died way, WAY too young. :(

Drew Holcomb and The Neighbors – ''Medicine'' Full Album (January 2015):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4ny8U...

Nice, non commercial music. Nothing revolutionary, still...

[Kirsten]

I've been listening to a Mumford and Sons youtube playlist while I work, but after two weeks, it's gotten a bit repetitive. I need to find something new.

[Susinok]

Was scrolling through my iPod list of books. Started Cards On The Table. Forgot I had that one! I do that. Buy several when they come out while I'm listening to something lengthy, then forget I have it.

[Jordan]

Started Dark Horse. It's definitely a slow paced story. But I'm liking it so far and I'm ok with the snail's pace romance. It's got horses and cowboys and one young business millionaire. :-)

[Linda]

Pentatonix, an acapella group. Their sound is amazing! Won a Grammy this year.
If you get a chance, give a listen to them.

I agree. They are really cool.

I finished my re-listen of It Happened One Wedding. I love Julie James's writing and this whole series is great on audio.

Next up is Eleanor & Park which I finally got through my library's digital collection.

[Steve]

I've been listening to 'In Sunshine Or In Shadow.' The stories are the perfect length for my nightly walks. Tonight was 'Until We Meet Once More.' Beautiful.

[Anne]

I am currently listening to the audio of Dangerous Ground, the version with the four first books together, many hours of goodness. This time around I really get to savour the sparse, but lovely writing, so fitting for Will and Taylor and the lovely images Josh creates. I have said it before but don't mind repeating it, I love the way Josh writes love scenes. There are none of those boring, repetitive, technical details some authors can't seem to avoid, but short, meaningful and poetic descriptions. Each scene has a new way of describing the emotions and the connections between the guys. Usually I can do well without the sex in books, but these, they add to and enrich the stories.

I bought a bunch of sci-fi audiobooks for my birthday credits at Audible, after 2 days at home I'm glad I had new books to listen to.

Yesterday I listened to The Lost Starship not very good, but I'll give book 2 a go anyway.

Today it's Mistborn: The Final Empire much better, have added the rest to my wishlist
