Those are all possibilities.
Another collection with various narrators is something I'd like to do too. In Sunshine and In Shadow turned out so well. I really would like to try another one like that.

Kobna Holdbrook-Smith is a great narrator, not sure if I know the others

Oh cool. yeah, I went ahead and bought the second two books in the series and just plowed right through them. Apparently there are a ton of little short stories between the three novels, but they're not in audio format. yet? So, I'm not sure how I want to read them. I am kinda hoping maybe if I wait long enough, the author might perhaps put out an audio collection of them. I would LOVE that. :-)

This sounds great! But will it be the entire novel or a short version? And is there a way to listen to it online? i would totally listen in for that. I actually have this coming Sunday free! :-) And I did enjoy reading that just a few years ago.

I just finished Damon Suede's Bad Idea, and now have The Little Prince and Neil Gaiman's Trigger Warning Anthology to get through.

I hope it will be available for download, but at the very least I want to listen live

I got my coupon early also. Wondering if we can get more than one coupon if we purchase more books this month?

Bummer. Thanks Idamus :-)
I am re-listening to Come Unto These Yellow Sands. I had finished my current audio and was scrolling down my list of books on my ipod and stopped here.I like the narration better this time than the first time. I heard a lot of odd inflections and hesitations the first time I listened. They are still here, but they don't bug me as much.

I you buy one more you get a $10 coupon in 10 days, as long as the original price is $14.95 or more (on all 4 books)
Mtsnow13 wrote: "Okay. No laughing. 41 books in my cart. Now for the culling..... (I know. It's an addiction...)"Yowsa, happy listening :-)
Also, any recs for when we run out of new books?

Wow. No laughing, I swear. Just a gentle smile...

I managed to contain myself, only buying two books and using the coupon as well, because really I can't afford more this month! ;)
Mtsnow13 wrote: "Okay. No laughing. 41 books in my cart. Now for the culling..... (I know. It's an addiction...)"Holy crap! LOL! You are about to have some fun!
I just bought books 3, 4, and 5 of the Whybourne and Griffin series, plus the short story. I think I'll listen to them next. I love that series and have not started it yet on Audio.

I 'culled' my purchases down by ...um... Well, not 41 anymore! Lol (I bought 16 books!)! But, I only got ones where I loved the narrator, and that actually are series, or complete series. I know. It's a serious addiction... But I'll stick with water and peanut butter sandwiches for my little joys. Lol....
I love my audiobooks, and after life stress up the wazoo the last two months...gray hair multiplying by the 100s, I figured in celebration of my credit score going up 85 Points due to refi... I deserve my little pleasures!
Especially since Spring is taking it's sweet time! Hail. Snow. Ugh....
I remember liking the narrator when I sampled the first two books. I have no memory of how he sounded though. I'll learn on my way to work today as I start them.

Holy...yes. Time to move some to the Wish List.

No worries. I showed restraint. But my wish list is nice and full now :-)
This weekend's roadtrip audiobook: In Sunshine or in Shadow. So of course I had to follow up with several codas from Merry Christmas, Darling!, reading one at a rest-stop and others when I got home. And it's not even July yet. ; )
I loved the 'In Sunshine Or In Shadow' audio treasures, Karen. I listened to them as I walked each night. I confess I've not read all the Codas (for Shane). Currently I'm listening to 'Dirty Kiss' by Rhys Ford. The narrator is wonderful. I enjoy the book more on audio than I did reading it. I think it's because of all the Korean names. I struggled.
I've been hearing this great song from my favourite radio several times, but they never said the name of the artist, now finally I found it using some words of the lyrics and Google:Benjamine Clementine - Cornerstone

You'll be reading The Dickens With Love any moment now, dear. ;-)
I usually end up reading/listening to that one just before Christmas and then again in midsummer.

I've listened to the sample. What do you think of Wild Bill voice?
I am listening to Widdershins, the first Griffin and Whybourne. Love this series. Oh to have Charles' Magpie series on audio... Samhain is pretty slow about getting audio produced.

They are a treat. I'm sure you'll get to the codas. You can save them for sometime closer to the season. : )

I second Kim's idea of Comfort and Joy. I love listening to Christmas stories — year-around.
