Where does everyone get their audiobooks? I buy a lot, but I'm getting frustrated with my library. They have holes in the series. For example, Susanne Brockman, They had the first eight books, then a few were missing, then they had 13 and no more. I asked the librarian, she said it depends on how popular they are. Brockman is a NYT best selling author. Anyway, I registered a request, but I don't see anything changing. We are a relatively small library system, but I thought I would find more in the Tampa Bay library consortium bit ... NO.

I get mine from three sources depending on which one has the books available. I subscribe to OCLS Overdrive (as an overseas patron) and they have a lot of audiobooks! They have the entire Troubleshooters although I didn't listen to the books.
Through OCLS, I also have access to Hoopladigital and I'm also a Scribd subscriber. Between the three I get most of what I want. I stopped Audible as it was really expensive for a very limited selection on AudiblePlus.

Sharon,
The Troubleshooters series is a unique situation. Around book #8, there was a squabble about publisher rights and things got nasty. Brockmann reissued the audiobooks with different narrators, none of them available on Overdrive.
However, I was rolling along, extremely happy with my library’s audiobook offerings. The recent retirement of the recommendation system has had a negative effect, at least in my opinion. We lost the ability to communicate directly as a group with librarians and are now left with whatever system they individually use to select books to add to the catalog, at least via Overdrive. I don’t use Libby so can’t speak to that system.
I also have subscriptions via Audible and Libro.fm, which is now international. I wait for the Audible 2-for-1 credit sales to make my purchases (unless there’s something I can’t wait for). I use Libro.fm for authors that are not part of the library system (lots of UK authors).
Lastly, I’m starting to use NetGalley for audiobooks. I was reluctant in the past because I’m not crazy about the listening app. But! I just got approved for the latest Will Trent audiobook and will stop being so picky.

Thanks ladies. Jonetta, you always have good information to share. I think I checked out Libro.fm once before, but I didn't want to start another subscription. I'm going to cancel a few subscriptions that I do use enough to justify the monthly fee. I'll put some of that money towards this. I read a lot of British authors too.
