Tough...seems that there aren't a lot choices and the only one I've listened to is Eric G. Dove. He was quite good...had a slight twang to his voice but a lot of narrators can give you quite a few accents. He did a pretty good job with female voices.

Not a male narrator but Christine Delaine has an amazing voice.

Updated Post #18 = 10/8. I'm starting to notice a theme in all these: someone gets murder. But I don't think that's allowed. **sigh** I could take out a few and have them as "stand alones".

[Lisa Kay]

I may have to cut some and go with "investigator or investigating something."

Audible's New Adult Filter

Audible now has a new “adult” filter on their site that filters out “adult content.” This includes books you already own. I tried it with the only Lisa Kleypas book that they consider adult: Again the Magic (which I own).

To turn this off, you have to go into your account details (Screen #1) and change the settings on the right side (Screen #2).

Screen #1


Screen #2

Thanks, Judy, for letting me know about this!

[~KarenH~, Moderator]

Thanks for passing on this info, Lisa Kay! I think it explains some weirdness I was experiencing yesterday...I searched for a book title and the screen said showing 1 of 1, but there was no book showing. The only way I was able to access the book on Audible was to look it up on Amazon and follow links from there. It's nice to know what was going on!

[Lisa Kay]

Yes, that is what I got, too. However, if I look in my library, I saw the book. I can see why people would want to filter this out; nevertheless, I'm not sure what this accomplishes, if you have underage members of your family accessing your account.

I was also wondering why audible.com's selection had decreased! LOL!

[Shell]

Odd, I don't have that as an option on my audible account page.

It went away. Then it came back for a couple of hours a couple days later (obviously I spend too much time on that site). Then it went away again.

I don't really post many reviews there, though I guess I should. Cheese & crackers, I don't even know how to figure out my audible name. LOL!

[Lisa Kay]

Congrats, Ezi & Suzanne!

[Lisa Kay]

Now I'm bugging them on technical support to figure out how to find Ezinwanyi. ☺

[Lisa Kay]

audible.com tells me there isn't a way to find and reviewer right now. Hmmm...

[Lisa Kay]

So... this is how I did a "work around." I looked at the books Ezi had listened to and went to audible.com -- then looked for her review of said book and clicked "follow" her.

Beats the pooh out of me how I figure out my audible name, though.

[Dee]

i figured my audible name was just what i signed in as...

Found you and followed you!

*whispers* I haven't written a review on audible... I only add books to the pile. I guess I should probably do that :)

[Ezi]

For those of you, that shop on audible, there is a $5 coupon promo:

Here is one of mine on Sempre: Redemption!

Ezin, I've already been following you. But one of the few books I reviewed is Devil in Winter. Here I am... I hope that works. I don't usually post to audible.com - plus, I've really cut back since I'm trying to get my house on the market.
