It was not stormy at all. A bit of mist here and there but no rain. It held off until I got home after work. The dogs even got to go out half a day.

True.

I remember a time when I was in high school and I was reading a print book before class started. I laughed out loud at something in the book, and some of the other kids looked at me funny.

These days though, as long as I'm not laughing too loud, or bawling my eyes out, I do show emotions when listening to an audiobook. I just can't not do it. And it makes me feel better, like I can get into the book and the book's emotions more, like I can really be happy listening and smiling to myself at the same time. :-)

I've been listening to the audiobook for Alexis Hall's Waiting for the Flood over the past few days and it's absolutely perfect. The narrator's performance is spectacularly good and it's a brilliant piece of narration. This book is special to me and I'm so pleased that the performance fits the book so perfectly. His voice and tone are spot on and the whole feel of it is just right. I'm happy and I'm looking forward to listening to this one again (and again and again...). Highly recommended. :)

Till now I've bought (and never listened to) only Josh's and JC Price's books. I've suspected since a while that I should make an exception for Alexis as well...

OMG, you need to listen to them! They're sooooooo goooooood!!!!

Honestly, I stand by this weird fact: Gomez Pough's voice cures headaches and in general, just makes me feel better. I don't know why. I can't explain it. It just does. Plus, he's got Victor's voice down pat. I love having Vic's voice in my head!

Well, if you like his books, chances are good that you might like the audiobooks as well, right? ;) I've now listened to Glitterland and Waiting for the Flood and I thought they were both knockout brilliant audiobooks. The narrators are both stunningly good. Picked up Prosperity the other day, which I am so freaking excited to listen to. I also started out only buying Josh's audiobooks, then I branched out to JCP and Harper Fox, and now I can handle anything, audiobook-wise, anyway!

The healing powers of Gomez Pugh! I'll keep that in mind for the next time I have a headache. :) Yes, he definitely does the perfect Vic voice. That's how I felt listening to Waiting for the Flood--Alexander Doddy does the perfect Edwin voice. It's so satisfying when the voice fits the book so well.

Excellent! I bought the ebook, but haven't read it yet. When I saw it was available on Audible.com, I snagged it. Been wanting to read/listen, but RL keeps interfering.

[Antonella]

Alison wrote: "Well, if you like his books, chances are good that you might like the audiobooks as well, right? ;)"

I know, it's just that I should stop collecting audiobooks if I don't find the time to listen to them. Although for Josh's books it is a bit a matter of principle ;-).

Mind you, I loved Come Unto These Yellow Sands and the one third of Fatal Shadows I listened to. But I need time to listen, I can' t do it as I do something else. Probably for native speakers is different...

[HJ]

Antonella, I agree with Johanna that now is the perfect time to listen to your audiobooks, while you're sick. They're very soothing, and you can rest and listen with your eyes closed.

Thank you for the recommendation of the audio book, Alison. I just purchased it based on your post.

LOL! But I can't work if I listen to an audiobook! Maybe on the train.

But that's the whole point, Antonella! Catch up on your rest before you travel tomorrow. The more rest you get, the sooner you'll get better!

I see frequent reference to Terry Pratchett here, so I think UK fans might like to know that the Audible Deal of the Day today is his The Long Utopia; unabridged for £2.99.

Listening to:
- Storm Front narrated by James Marsters! (works well with exercising - a very nice incentive, and that voice!)
- Raising Steam narrated by Stephen Briggs (has the perfect cadence for just before falling asleep, by which i mean that it's not jarring in any way and it's cute and fun and light)
- How to Walk Like a Man narrated by Matthew Shaw (I think knitting or similar would work well here)
All set :-)

I listened to Waiting for the Flood audiobook by Alexis Hall this weekend. I liked it so much, I re-read the novella directly afterwards.

Now listening to For Real by Alexis Hall. Very different from the other one. :)

I loved Waiting for the Flood and just got the audio, so yay!

I've started listening to them as I swim. :-D Granted, that makes me a little self-conscious about my choices. I don't think the neighbors can hear, but I don't want to take the chance of some of these erotic moans and groans floating over the fence.

Yes! That is exactly the time to listen. It always seems like it will be too much trouble, but once the audio is playing, it's so relaxing.

Greenpeace holds a historic performance with pianist Ludovico Einaudi on the Arctic Ocean

Through his music, acclaimed Italian composer and pianist Ludovico Einaudi has added his voice to those of eight million people from across the world demanding protection for the Arctic. Einaudi performed one of his own compositions on a floating platform in the middle of the Ocean, against the backdrop of the Wahlenbergbreen glacier (in Svalbard, Norway).

Someone I know is at the Milano concert of Bruce Springsteen and is posting snippets or whole songs on FB, basically live. It is incredible how everything changed just in few years.

Another friend will go to the concert in Rome ;-).

I recently listened to the audiobook of Charlie Cochrane's Lessons in Love, a book I dearly love. I found it interesting that, even though I didn't really care for the narrator, I still quite enjoyed listening to it because I enjoy the book so much. It's the first time I've listened to an audiobook where I didn't like the narrator and it's interesting that it still worked out okay.

Arvo Pärt- Spiegel im Spiegel: Mirror(s) in the mirror

_with a girl_ was too much to put on a RCA LP for the USA music market in 1972. Only in 1976 would Bowie's song deemed ok for the US public.

Looking good, David. I haven't listened to that song in ages. Thanks. :)

Gounod's Roméo et Juliette. Santa Fe Opera (last night).

Listening, because the set was dominated by immense dark gray mausoleum walls "engraved" with the names of Capulet and Montague ancestors, which was used as a backdrop throughout all of the scene changes. Because that's profound. The costumes were supposed to be U.S. Civil War era, but I had to look that up today because it was driving me crazy since the dresses looked Victorian but not, and the men wore blue and red uniforms.

Beautiful singing though, and good company with a friend visiting from the Pac NW, and the venue is wonderful.

I kind of have a love-hate relationship with opera. ; )

I really enjoyed listening to the audiobook of J. Tullos Hennig's Greenwode, the first of her medieval queer Robin Hood series. I love this book so it was fantastic to listen to. I had some minor niggles with the performance, but nothing that was not easily overlooked. I'm listening to the second book,Shirewode, now and it is equally riveting.

I absolutely love it. It's one of my most favourite series, so I definitely think it's fantastic. :)
It's an epic historical fantasy with a central romance and there's a wonderful depth to not just the characters, but to everything. It's a big story with a lot of substance.

I know I've mentioned it a couple of times here. I listened to the audiobooks awhile ago and LOVED them. I can't wait for the next installment!
