I'm in a minority, I DNFfed that one.

My review says it was because I didn't care about the characters, but I honestly can't remember anything from it. :p "

I gave it 3 stars. I didn't appreciate it that much.

Yes, impatiently awaiting the next book (and the next written book as well) :D

I'm currently listening to The Blazing World. Like her husband, Paul Auster, Siri Hustvedt is very brainy and I had to work a little to get into the book, but now she has me hooked. Still brainy and many of the references are way over my head, but she is a brilliant writer and storyteller.

[Josh]

So. A total of six more audio projects before the end of the year. :-) Not including the books put out by Carina/HarperCollins.

Winter Kill is going back to the drawing board, however, so it may ultimately be one of the last projects.

[Ame]

Nice :)

Wonderful! Can't wait! :-)
(except for Winter Kill going back to the drawing board...)

[Antonella]

I only buy audiobooks by Josh and JCP.

Did you all buy Channeling Morpheus for Scary Mary already?

If not, time to do it. I'm also talking to myself...

You were mentioned in the panel about audiobooks at the EuroPrideCon as the second more productive m/m audiobook producer after Dreamspinner ;-).

That's good news!

And it's also a good thing that Winter Kill is on its way back to the drawing board when you weren't satisfied with it. Thank you for always going the extra mile for your readers, Josh. You know we do notice it, and appreciate it, right?

The Boyfriend Mandate

Book 1 was OK, so now it's book 2 :-)

Scary Mary was one of my least favorite JCP books, to be honest. I read it, and then read the sequel last summer just because she was the author, but they didn't do too much for me. So, I'm on the fence about the audio book. We'll see. Right now, I've got more than enough audio to keep me occupied. lol.

JCP says sales on Morpheus haven't been good enough to do the second box set on audio, which is a bummer. I enjoyed it and Gomez Pugh did well with it even though Wild Bills voice threw me off in the beginning.

For some reason I really love The Backup Boyfriend. I've reread it couple of times. Didn't like the Boyfriend Mandate as much, but after rereading it I liked it more. Again don't know why ;)

I just finished book 2, maybe 2.5 stars, book 1 got 3, I like the narrator though :-)

I think the fact they were bundled and I didn't have to go through the serial release process helped me. And listening I think was better than reading

Sorry to hear this. The Channeling Morpheus books were the first JCP books I read. I loved their grit and wit, with just the right tiny touch of existential melancholy. Loved the audiobooks and bought the ebook boxed set, just because they were there in one place although I already own them in earlier individual editions.

[Lily]

Currently listening to Beneath the Stain by Amy Lane. Recently listened to Promises by Marie Sexton - will definitely buy the rest of the series. I read them a while back and thoroughly enjoyed them. Also listened to L.A. Witt's The Given and the Taken and The Healing and the Dying. Fabulous threesome/vamp and wolf stories.

[Ame]

How is the narrator of Promises? Sometimes bad narrators can almost ruin wonderful stories. And sometimes good narrators go horrible wrong.

F. ex. I haven't wanted to buy Faith & Fidelity because the example on Audible is not good.

Good choice, I bought F & F, the narrator sounds like he's about to cry, the whole way through the story o.O
Got it almost for free though as I had a voucher :D

[Ame]

Thank you Idamus, I got it for only 3,49! Some special prize, I'm not sure for how long but I hurried up to buy it ;)

I sincerely hope I'm not second in spending. Although sometimes I fear...

What's your favorite Josh Lanyon audiobook? I'm a MM Romance audiobook virgin and I have 2 Audible credits (thanks Josh!). Want to choose wisely and get the biggest bang for each credit. I have a lot of his books in print and eBook format, but not the entire collection yet. :-) Loved these e.g.: H&M, Come Unto These Yellow Sands, AE. Not keen on historical.

Please advise...I've got an entire weekend free!

[Ame]

Adrien English is always no. 1 but I'm still going to recommend Holmes and Moriarity simply because Kevin R. Free is a delicious narrator. Oh, wait. So is Chris Patton. So.... just buy both ;)

[Johanna]

Judy wrote: "Loved these e.g.: H&M, Come Unto These Yellow Sands, AE."

If you don't have those in audio, I can wholeheartedly recommend all of them. As Ame said, AE is always a safe and an excellent choice, but (also) as Ame said H&M books are fantastic in audio. (Says a lady who loves Kit unconditionally — and Kevin R. Free as his voice.) :-)

[Sabine]

The H&M audiobooks are wonderful in audio. I could recommend all the other audiobooks by Josh too, but the H&M audiobooks are a very good start and it's not terrific that there are so much more?!

Holmes and Moriarity,
Dangerous Grounds collection http://www.audible.com/pd/Fiction/Arm...
In Sunshine collection http://www.audible.com/pd/Fiction/In-...
I Spy collection http://www.audible.com/pd/Fiction/In-...

You get the most for your credits if you pick a collection, and the most diversity with In Sunshine :-)

Those you listed are great. I was SO pleasantly surprised by the 'In Sunshine' collection. I love the back and forth in 'Dangerous Ground', and I don't think you'll find a finer audio performance anywhere than the 'I Spy' collection.

So true

[Anne]

My favourite will always be Come Unto These Yellow Sands but all the others that are mentioned here are good, too! So much to choose from :)

[Judy]

Here's how I used my two Audible credits: Dangerous Ground Collection and the I Spy Collection. Because I was on a roll, I bought In Sunshine or in Shadow, Fair Game, Cards on the Table, and Kick Start.

Thanks, Josh!

CUTYS is still my favorite, but as soon as AE got mentioned, I was all "oh yeah, but of course!" And then In Sunshine... "Oh, this one for sure! I loved love loved this collection. But then, what about dangerous Ground and I Spy? OMG, you can't leave them out! Lol. I'm hopelessly lost and in love with all of them. But wait... I forgot to mention H&M! ... Lol!

LOL. That's exactly how I feel. :-D And I'm so looking forward to those new JL audio books in the very near future. I never thought that audio books would be such a joy! Josh was the reason I join Audible in the first place. :-)

I've newly found the pleasure of drawing during this summer. Nothing fancy, just simple lines forming simple everyday things.

For some reason I can't listen to audio books while drawing so I've been listening all kinds of music quite a bit. Today it's been Finnish singer Laura Närhi and her touching songs. I'll post links for two of them if you guys are interested in taking a peek.

Unfortunately she sings in Finnish, but the tone, the feeling of the music is so strong that I think you can easily imagine what the lyrics are about.

This one tells about letting go of someone you love. It's about slow, sorrowful, but inevitable departure. I love that cello in this one so much: Mä Annan Sut Pois by Laura Närhi

This one tells about feeling deep connection with someone — whether it's your little sister or lover or someone whose path crossed yours for just a little while. And how the distance or the years can't separate soulmates from each other. And how having someone like that, even briefly, joining your journey makes all the difference in life: Hetken Tie On Kevyt by Laura Närhi

Don't be too angry with them for long, though. What you guys have together is wonderful and so precious.

I'd give anything to have siblings.

[Steve]

You'd be a wonderful sister, Johanna. I have 5 siblings and I'd be lost without any one of them. I can't imagine a life without them.

Aww, Steve. I don't know about that. But, this is one of the nicest things anyone has ever said to me. Thank you so much, dear.

And I have to add that I love to see you posting family photos on FB — you and your siblings always look so awesome together! :-)

This is another song from him:

Oh, yes! I knew he's from Bristol, but I didn't remember that any more. There is something about his voice I really like! And he makes fun videos.

Here's one with Ian McKellen. :-D
