Romance Audiobooks discussion

mods - hopefully this is ok ;)

is anyone interested in doing a buddy listen for a series (or 2 next year) - ideally somethign like 1 book a month - either one series to last the year (something like Kresley cole) or a couple of series with smaller amounts of books (this could be good so we don't get burnt out on any one series)

Dee - sounds good to me. When the first series is chosen, I'll start a thread (possibly a category) so it can be found easily.

awesome! thanks! now to come up with some ideas ;) if anyone has thoughts...

a few ideas (from my audible tbr)
1. Graveyard Queen series
Amanda Stevens
1st book - The Restorer
narrator - Kristine Hvam
series length - 3 full novels available in audio; 4th book due in 2015 (there is a novella that is not available however)

2. legend of the four soldiers
Elizabeth Hoyt
1st book - To Taste Temptation
narrator - Anne Flosnik
series length - 4 books (all available in audio)

3. Guild Hunters
Nalini Singh
1st book - Angels' Blood
narrator - Justine eyre
series length - 7 full books; plus a novella in audio

4. rogue Mage
Author - Faith Hunter
1st book - Bloodring
narrator - Natalie gold
series length - 3 books

I would definitely participate.

Here are a couple more suggestions: Kelley Armstrong's Women of the Underworld (13 books) or for a shorter series Sabina Kane by Jaye Wells (5 books).

Sabina Kane
Jaye wells
1st book - Red-Headed Stepchild

series length - 5 books

women of the otherworld
Kelley armstrong

I'd love to participate reading the Guild Hunters. I've only read the first book.

I'd love to continue the IAD series by Kresley Cole but I'm up to the 7th book, Kiss of a Demon King.

if we get enough interest we'll put it to a vote ;)

I'd like to continue Kresley Cole - but i'm at like book 5

I would seriously consider doing a buddy listen.

Any recs?

Downside Ghosts series by Stacia Kane has been on my TBR for a long time

I've heard great things about:

Kara Gillian
by Diana Rowland
1st book - Mark of the Demon
narrator - Liv Anderson
series lenght - 6 books (book 7 due in 2015)

That looks good.

Excellent performance, one of the best I've listened to.

Ohhhh that's good to know.

I am also interested in the Graveyard Queen which Dee put up earlier. She knows she got to listen to it!!!!.

Oh...what about the Charley Davidson series by Darynda Jones.

i've read them all - and since i'm selfish ;)

Lol.

I'm interested.....and a suggestion
Riley Jenson, Guardian.
Keri Arather
1st book- Full Moon Rising
9 books in series

nichole - I tried to PM you to send you the list of nominations - can you hit me up ;) thanks

I PM'd everyone who posted here with the list of series - so you can give me your nominations - since there was some interest but not a lot (and I don't necesarily want ppl to vote if they aren't going to participate)

so the top 2 series that people voted on (and a tie) was Graveyard Queen and Guild Hunters - so i've emailed people with those 2 choices - if you are still interested

here is how the votes played out - 3 votes for top pick, 2 for 2nd and 1 for 3rd

Graveyard Queen - 7
guild Hunters - 7
Riley Jensen - 5
Downside Ghosts - 4
Kara Gillian - 4
Women of the Otherworld - 4
Sabina Kane - 3
Rogue Mage - 1

I'm in for Guild Hunters once we get to the second book.

after a run-off vote - which was tied until I flipped a coin - the winner is the Guild Hunter series by Nalini Singh

are people interested in starting in December?

Are you starting with the first book?

yeah, i've read it, but i'm going to re-listen - the plan is 1 book a month

Will we have a new thread for the buddy listen or will we use this one?

i'll let you know ;)

I'll join in on book #2.

I'd prefer to start in January as my December audios are already lined up, but I'm good with joining in the discussion even if everyone starts earlier :0)

Is this still in the works for January?

Are we creating a separate thread for each book? How are we laying this out? Dee, where are you? LOL

i'm here! i've been stuck in excel hell!

yep, plan to start Jan 1 with Angels' Blood - i'll ask Lea where I can set up a thread - probably use the same one for the whole listen - just updating with the title each month

here is the link for January - https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

and Lea has set up a Buddy Listen folder

Great! Looking forward to this.
