You have notifications on your Kindle? Interesting... never seen that.

I love my Kindle Keyboard. I hope it will live forever.

yep. It's weird and annoying. lol. I've got a folder for Kindle stuff so I can mostly just place it there and ignore it. But still.

Have you sent them to your Kindle as Docs so they are in your Amazon account or have them backed up on your computer?

I think I did do this for a lot of files. But I also sideloaded a lot of files.

I can't remember if I already posted this, but this is is beautiful (2 and a half minutes):

Ludovico Einaudi - "Elegy for the Arctic" - Official Live (Greenpeace)

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).
Travelling on board Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise on the eve of a significant event for the future of the Arctic: this week's meeting of the OSPAR Commission, which could secure the first protected area in Arctic international waters.

This is a neat video for a nice song. The band is playing on a iceberg next to a glacier. It's lovely. This is the same band that made a video playing inside a volcano, so they clearly like to make adventurous videos. Iceland is looking beautiful here, as it always seems to do. :)

I've heard this song by the French singer Soko in a soundtrack. I went looking for it and found this video. The lovers are Soko and Meghan Edwards*:

We Might Be Dead By Tomorrow

* Meghan is a musician in her own right, guitarist and vocalist for goth-psych girl band Black Bow, as well as a DJ and just all-around rad, creative chick.

I love the book ♡ very much and since Josh said the audiobook will be released in October I looked every day, if it's available. A little bit crazy, I know.

That's probably what I'll do with the next Holmes&Moriarity audiobook.
We could call it the "Josh syndrome" and create a support group.

I always thought this was the "enabling group", but sure, we can live in denial and call it a support group. I'm totally okay with it, as long as nobody touches my books. :D

So Kale Chambers. What do you think?

[Sabine]

I love the audiobook. Kale Chambers has a very good voice. It is easy to hear exactly, who is speaking, no over acting. I like the voices he had given to Sam and Jason, especially Sam's voice. He reads on the exactly right pace, not too slow and not too fast.
The book is one of my favourite reads and the audiobook is wonderful too.
You have made a very good choice. I 'see' your characters, when I read your books, now I can see and hear Sam and Jason.

This is my feeling. And I love the little careful touches. When someone is speaking with their mouth full, he captures that. When a voice is supposed to fade away, he captures that too. Those little details set him apart.

When someone can do little things like that, and bothers to, that's pretty huge.

Though I've definitely listened to a few books where the narrator did too much with sound effects that it irritated me a bit.

Yes, that is quite irritating, but here it is subtle, it is not stopping the flow of the narration.

[Jordan]

I should also mention that I started listening to The Starving Years after wanting to listen to it for months. Finally finished the previous one and got to it, and I'm loving it. But of course, I love all of Jordan's stuff and the narrator is wonderful, as always!

[Calathea]

Josh wrote: "So Kale Chambers. What do you think?"

He's a keeper!

I love his voice and how he does the voices of the different characters. The way he does the subtle changes in tone, even in the same sentence is admirably. And he can make his voice real gentle. That's quite rare, I think. Most would just do it with lowering their voice but he can give it a certain quality...

I've been listening in the car this week. That's not the ideal place to enjoy an audiobook. I'll definitely give this a re-listen in a quieter, unhurried time and space.

Perfect pairing of narrator & book. I've listened to this 3 times already. I'll be on the look out for other narrations by him.

[Loretta]

Josh wrote: "So Kale Chambers. What do you think?"

I'm only three chapters in, but so far I like him a lot.

Just finished this last night and loved it. Kale is a wonderful narrator. I loved his interpretation of characters. And Sam? Just wow! What a great choice for this series (I hope).

yay!

I've got this on my wish list. Soon as I can afford to buy more audiobooks, it'll be first on my list!

But I'm also slowing down on the audio because there are so many print books I'm trying to get read by the end of the year for various reasons.

Seriously enjoying Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, even though it's Jim a Dale as a narrator. I've got some issues with hoe he narrates some things, but overall he's all right. I hear the UK narrator is fantastic, but haven't run into his versions yet here in the state.

The UK narrator is Stephen Fry. And he is really fantastic!

[Antonella]

I've just heard an excerpt of the audiobook of the Italian translation of , which they publish because the film from the book is out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American...

It was unbearable, kind of theatrical in all the wrong ways. Just out of curiosity I listened to the original version and it is all right.

I could never understand why they needed two different narrators for the English (UK & US) versions of Harry Potter. If given a choice, I'd choose Stephen Fry. Yes, I know the books are a little different, but couldn't the book sellers offer both versions and let the buyer decide?

It makes as much sense as "translating" the books in American English...like Americans usually need a translator to understand British English.

[Jordan]

Right? I wish they'd just gone with one narrator for both. *shrugs* oh well. Maybe some day, when I decide to upgrade my cassette collection to something else, I'll look up Stephen Fry's version. I'd like something that's more authentic.

I mean, Jim Dale is good. He's not bad. I am enjoying his narration, but there are a few niggles I have with it. Specifically the way characters tend to whine Harry's name and they come out sounding like petulant children. Having read the books, I know they're not, but still. They irritate me. lol.
