Even though I just read this in December, I’m listening to We Sold Our Souls my library got the ebook & audiobook so I jumped on that.
I recently enjoyed the Audible narration of the 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle - I loved the voices! I think it made it easier to follow maybe than reading alone because each character was so distinctively portrayed. I hope you enjoy it. Now Im listening to Salem's Lot.
Almost done listening to I'll Be Gone in the Dark: One Woman's Obsessive Search for the Golden State Killer
I finished The Cartel this morning. Holy crap, this sucker was powerful! I'll be starting in on its follow-up, The Border, soon.

I can recommend the audio version of
. The narrator really hits the character Joe on the head with his voice.
He truly brings across his smarter than everyone thinks he is, but not as smart as he himself thinks he is persona. Truly a perfect cast if I've ever seen (heard) one.
I finished listening to
and now I'm on to Don Winslow's
.I'm not sure how it's going to be listening to a Winslow book NOT narrated by the awesome Ray Porter. We'll see how it goes!
Oh... warning... that one is disgusting. Really disgusting. Until you know how you react to it; don’t eat during the listen. Just a caution ;)
I seem to be on a medical catastrophe kick. I recently finished listening to Parasite by Mira Grant, which was okay - predictable (I'm pretty sure the "twist" could not have been foreshadowed any harder), and everyone having to explain things to an amnesiac main character was a bit of an eye-roll way to explain to the reader what was going on.
That was followed by Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel, whose style I enjoyed, but the actual plot stretched my suspension of disbelief a bit too far for it to sit happily with me. I want to check out some of her other titles, though.
Currently I'm listening to Infected by Scott Sigler, which is definitely the most "mature" out of the three. I'm very interested in the concept, but I really hate one of the main characters (racist, homophobic, but it feels like he's supposed to be the hero), and it's definitely reminding me no matter how much I try to convince myself otherwise, body horror is not my sub-genre. I feel a lot like I did watching Apostle with Dan Stevens - I can appreciate that it's well-crafted, but I really am not enjoying the experience of listening to the actual body horror parts. I'm probably going to finish it as I'm about halfway through, but boy... I am gonna need one of my guilty pleasure books as a palate cleanser afterwards!
@shaina yep the troop is disgusting but much more interesting then under the dome which I just finished. For me it’s a palate cleanser for utd.
Black Birds just finished that and should be starting Black Acres: The Complete Collection tomorrow then i think i'm about caught up with my listen for reviews books.

i can't say it's a favorite..."I gave up on that one. SUMMER OF NIGHT was so much better!
Sonya wrote: "Truthwitch"I'm interested to hear what you think when you're done! I listened to this one last month and have mixed feelings.
today i finished Those Across the River and i loved it so very much again this time. and i listened to The Haunting of Mercer House for a review. it was decent. and lastly, What the Dead Fear it was ok. tomorrow i'm starting Memnoch the Devil i think this will be my 3rd read/listen for this book.
Started The Wars of the Roses: The Fall of the Plantagenets and the Rise of the Tudors, interesting so far.
this week i will be starting The Gordon Place and should also be listening to WINDWARD HOME towards the end of the week.
Just finished The Cabin at the End of the World. (Excellent). Am listening to: Orbs, The Awakening, and almost thru with Liquid Fear.
