In this past year I've discovered audio books. Now I own your entire collection in three formats! (Hoarder, much?) I've found that some books really shine when read aloud, no matter who reads them, some shine when presented by a great narrator and some have all their deficits glaringly exposed by being voiced aloud. (Yours shine. Like the sun!) What has been your experience as author and a listener with audio format?

As an author, I have been delighted with the new internet downloading market for audiobooks, which has blown it wide open making room enough even for my work. (When it was physical media only, it used to be a very restricted market.)
I'm not a very aural-brained person, so I don't listen to audiobooks at this time, preferring visual print/pixels. I also lack things like a long commute, time on a treadmill, or other dead-time that they can fill. If I have worsening eye issues as I age, that may shift.

As I would love to see your books made into anime, I created the Goodreads’ list “Titles You Most Wish Would be Made Into Anime” in the hope that if it gets enough voters, it might catch the attention of a decision-maker at a streaming service/anime studio. Would you share it with your followers so they can vote for your books? https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/175478.Titles_You_Most_Wish_Would_be_Made_Into_Anime
