Good to know. I've only read this series and maybe I'll do the audio version when book 7 comes out in January.

Glad to hear it. I've been meaning to get that one.

jb Byrkit (jbbyrkit) | 2035 comments It was my first Bryson book and he is funny. I learned a lot.


message 316: by Latasha (new)

Latasha (latasha513) | 11983 comments I just finished Soulless (Parasol Protectorate, #1) by Gail Carriger it was ok. this is the 2nd story I've read set in the Victorian era and to be honest, I just don't think it's for me. I get so aggravated at how "a lady is suppose to act."


message 317: by [deleted user] (new)

Neil Gaiman reading his novel The Ocean At The End Of The Lane! His voice is magical!

Latasha (latasha513) | 11983 comments I started House of Reckoning by John Saul last night. I do enjoy John Saul from time to time. audible is having a great sale-400+ books only 4.95. I bought a lot! I got:
Anita by Keith Roberts (about a witch)
Picking Up the Ghost
Spider's Bite
Moon Dance
The Haunted
Phantoms
Bloodshot
yeah!! 4.95 each!! there was so many more but I had to limit myself! lol


message 320: by Michael (new)

Michael Stephenson | 19 comments Honestly, the book (not novel) that I'm listening to while reading it currently is... The Book of Mormon. It is my first time reading it and some missionaries came by and asked me to read it honestly and I will do it.


message 321: by Latasha (new)

Latasha (latasha513) | 11983 comments Hmm, is it interesting Michael?

I gotta get this!


message 323: by L.G. (new)

L.G. Estrella | 74 comments Out of interest, who do you think is the best reader for horror fiction? I'm of the opinion that the reader makes a big difference in an audiobook, so I'd be keen to find out about any exceptional readers.


message 324: by jb (new)

jb Byrkit (jbbyrkit) | 2035 comments I agree...a good narrator makes a big difference. Tim Curry is excellent. I tried Maya Angelou but I didn't like her narration.


message 325: by Latasha (new)

Latasha (latasha513) | 11983 comments I get my audio books from audible. some narrator's I've really liked:
Simon Vance (the vampire lestat)
Bernadette Dunne (we have always lived in the castle & the haunting of hill house)
Angela Dawe (house of reckoning)
Ray porter (hell house)


message 326: by Carl (new)

Carl Alves (carlalves) | 56 comments Right now I'm listening to Carte Blanche by Kyle Mills. It's a new entry in the James Bond series and leaves a little to be desired.


message 327: by jb (new)

jb Byrkit (jbbyrkit) | 2035 comments I am listening to Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail and Chomp. I really need to get these two done. Wild is taking me forever as parts of the story are good, but parts are just not worth mentioning I think.


message 328: by Latasha (new)

Latasha (latasha513) | 11983 comments I just finished Picking Up the Ghost by Tone Milazzo it was pretty good but confusing to explain. I think i'll start The Haunted by Bentley Little next.


message 329: by L.G. (new)

L.G. Estrella | 74 comments Those are some good suggests for readers. I'll have to look into that. I think a good read will definitely add to the creepiness factor.

Some of my favorite narrators are, Will Patton, James Marsters, Michael Kramer and Ray Porter reading the Joe Ledger series. A few off the top of my head.

Latasha (latasha513) | 11983 comments I just finished The Haunted by Bentley Little it was narrated by dan butler. he was ok, I didn't notice him trying to use a different voice for each male but at times when the story was getting intense I did notice him reading in a lower tone, almost a whisper but you could still hear him just fine. I really liked this book. it kept my attention, the characters were likable & believable. the plot moved along just fine. there was some scary and intense moments. definitely worth an audible credit! i'll probably start Moon Dance (Vampire for Hire, #1) by J.R. Rain tonight. it's only 5 and a 1/2 hrs so I should be able to finish that tonight while working.

Latasha (latasha513) | 11983 comments I just finished Moon Dance (Vampire for Hire, #1) by J.R. Rain audiobook. I really liked it.

Andrew Ferguson | 18 comments I use audiobooks when I commute to work, since its almost an hour each way. I recently finished Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen and am now listening to Velocity by Dean Koontz


message 334: by Michael (new)

Michael Flanagan (loboz) | 8 comments Firstly I have to admit I am an audiobook addict. Now that is off my chest I am currently listening to Day by Day Armageddon by J.L. Bourne by J.L. Bourneand am loving it so far.


message 335: by Latasha (new)

Latasha (latasha513) | 11983 comments I am currently listening to Pale DemonI've read all the other Rachel Morgan books up to this point. the narrator for this one is Marguerite Gavin. I like her so far. I'm also working on Hall of Mirrors: Tales of Horror and the Grotesque. Volume 1 this is a freebie on iTunes. I've listened to Trolls and The Grave.


message 336: by Ctgt (new)

Ctgt | 765 comments Not really a book but I am listening to An Evening With Neil Gaiman & Amanda Palmer, shorts; poems and songs in front of a live audience.

we need a like button over here!


The Angry Lawn Gnome (mostlyharmlessreviews) Currently listening to The Boyfriend by Thomas Perry.

I seem to be on something of a mystery/thriller kick of late with audio books. For some odd reason I find myself listening - and enjoying - to quite a bit of fiction I'd never in a million years pick up in book format. Go figure.
