Melanie | 1656 comments I'm re-listening to The Ballad of Black Tom and it's still spectacularly good, even better than the first time.

I also just bought Autumn Nights: 13 Spooky Fall Reads the narrator sounded good on the trial so I'm hoping it'll be a fun ride.

I ended up sort of enjoying Bunny by Mona Awad . It was one weird book!

I finished listening to The Institute by Stephen King by Stephen King and I just was not all that impressed. I liked the beginning and I enjoyed the end, but it really bogged down a lot in the middle. I gave it 3/5 stars.

I tried listening to A Book of Bones (Charlie Parker #17) by John Connolly by John Connolly. NetGalley approved me for an ARC after I had already bought the hard copy and took it off my reading list. I was all booked up when they approved me, so I thought reading the audio might help me to work it into my schedule sooner. Unfortunately, I did not like the narrator at all and found my mind kept wandering.
Now I'm listening to Deep Silence (Joe Ledger #10) by Jonathan Maberry which is narrated by the awesome Ray Porter.

:O You're listening to deep silence? For meditation perhaps? ;)

Latasha (latasha513) | 11983 comments I’ve been listening to Flowers in the Attic. I love it! I didn’t read it during my teen years.

Currently, I am listening to a German audio version of Douglas Adams's The Restaurant at the End of the Universe.

Phil (chaoseum) | 792 comments Just finished Slimer by Harry Adam Knight. Really fun, though it did get a bit too cheesy towards the end.


message 1411: by Ami (new)

Ami Morrison | 239 comments Just finished Ghost Mine by Hunter Shea, and just started up Sandstorm by James Rollins.

Heehee! There was so much action there, there was no time to meditate. No time at all!

No such thing as too cheesy! Not from a HAK. (I read that the two authors made up that name, tongue in cheek.)

coolseraz | 26 comments Just finished Hell House by Richard Matheson. Brilliant narration by Ray Porter really elevates the experience.


message 1415: by Latasha (new)

Latasha (latasha513) | 11983 comments @Raj- yes it sure does. That was such an intense listen.


message 1416: by Char (new)

Maybe reading a book with lots of action is a bit like meditation though. ;)

I generally don't care for action/military type stuff, but these books are just so damn good. Listening to Ray Porter is definitely calming for me. (Which is weird, right?)

Yep. Because he's AHHH-MAZING!

I finished listening to Lullabies for Suffering Tales of Addiction Horror by Caroline Kepnes which was excellent.

I'm now trying a new series, narrated by Will Patton. The Neon Rain (Dave Robicheaux, #1) by James Lee Burke


message 1421: by Char (new)

Char | 17498 comments I finished up Me last night. Elton himself only narrated a brief portion in the beginning and a brief portion at the end, but I loved the book overall. It's everything you'd hope for in a rock n roll memoir-sex, drugs, music, addiction, diva tantrums, etc...
It was also quite funny.

Char | 17498 comments I finished listening to I Can't Make This Up: Life Lessons I Can't Make This Up Life Lessons by Kevin Hart and it was hilarious.


message 1423: by Latasha (new)

Latasha (latasha513) | 11983 comments starting Thin Air: A Ghost Story Thin Air A Ghost Story by Michelle Paver in the morning.

Ctgt | 765 comments Just finished The Glass Hotel....I really enjoyed Station Eleven but this one didn't really do it for me. Writing was still good but never really caught my interest. Middle of the road.

Alastor Moopy (zeenia) | 82 comments Just started Clive Barkers Maximillan Bacchus and his Travelling Circus

María Estrada (drmariajestrada) | 33 comments The Outsider by Stephen King The Outsider. I got a weird pandemic reading and writing block, but them seem to have passed.

I really wanted to listen to The Institute, but the narrator's voice annoyed me.

I enjoyed that book but I read a dead tree version. How was the narrator?

Started Akata Witch Akata Witch (Akata Witch, #1) by Nnedi Okorafor and am really enjoying the narration.

i'm enjoying the heck out of the narration. Cannot tell you whether or not the Dine words are being pronounced correctly, but the narrator has me believing that I'm hearing the voice of the main character -- which is all-important in this kind of action fantasy.

Char | 17498 comments I listened to Don Winslow's latest Broken Broken by Don Winslow and it was excellent, as were the narrators Ray Porter and Kaleo Griffith.

Now I'm listening to Kathe Koja's The Cipher by Kathe Koja .

message 1440: by Lily (new)

Lily | 56 comments I bought The southern Book club’s guide to slaying vampires today, I purchased it on audible as well, so I can listen to it while I commute from work to my place....I might start it tonight or tomorrow, let see.


message 1441: by Char (new)

Char | 17498 comments I finished Kathe Koja's The Cipher and it was AH-MAZING!
Now, I'm listening to The Taint and Other Novellas by Brian Lumley.


I absolutely adored The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix , I hope you do too.


message 1442: by Carrie (new)

Carrie  (icanhasbooks) | 90 comments I started listening to Wicked As You Wish (A Hundred Names for Magic, #1) by Rin Chupeco on Spotify...I did not know they had new and newish books to listen on it. I thought it was all classics.

sonya marie madden  | 926 comments The outsider by Stephen King

Lily | 56 comments Hey Latasha, I must agree! It started slow, but wow The story really picked up. My third sitting today and the story wraps you up!


message 1446: by Ctgt (new)

Ctgt | 765 comments Really liked The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires, narration was spot on. Started Magician: Apprentice for another club. Read the Kindle version a few years ago and enjoyed that version well enough.


message 1447: by Ctgt (new)

Ctgt | 765 comments Finished The Dark Horse which is part of the Longmire series....George Guidal really crushes the narration for this series.

Get it!!!

I'm listening to Caliban's War (The Expanse, #2) by James S.A. Corey . It's the second in The Expanse series. Once I'm done with the books, I hope to check out the TV series.

Love the books and the TV series. The show took me a bit to get into....I think it had been several years since I read the first book..but once I got my mind right it really took off. Love Amos.
