Audio-Bibliophiles discussion

I just finished listening to It is the 2nd book in a series and I am really enjoying it.

I am currently listening to which is very amusing. It is narrated by Lorelei King who also narrates the Stephanie Plum series. She does humorous heroines quite well.

read by the lovely Tom Hiddleston.

I just started . I really like the narrator on this series. The first 30 minutes wasn't really holding my interest but I'm about 2 hours in and it's really getting interesting now. I love Eve & Roark.

just finished Alterant going to try fever seriesDarkfever

I am currently listening to which is good but not quite at the level of the first two. I'm still enjoying it though.

I just finished the unabridged recording of . SIXTY HOURS. I almost gave up at least a dozen times. So glad I'm done with it. Next up something shorter!

Started yesterday. Have to admit the first hour bored me to death. It's finally starting to get a little interesting now though so I'm really hoping it picks up. Everyone has told me it does so I'm gonna give it a chance.

Right now, I'm listening to Graveminder by Melissa Marr, narrated by Emma Galvin. Very fascinating story - hovers on the edge of horror, but feels more like scary fantasy. I will definitely seek out more by Marr.

Just started The Heretic's Daughter a couple days ago. It's good so far!

Lena, I listened to that book two years ago. I had to go back and read what the book was about since I couldn't remember it. I do remember thinking the overall story was only so so. Are you still liking it?

I did like it. I thought it should be classed as YA, but I enjoyed it.

I'm listening to The Count of Monte Cristo now. Trying to work my way through some classics!

I started Anne of Green Gables yesterday. The narrator is wonderful. I believe its Barabra Caruso but I could be wrong. I forgot who they said the narrator is. I am so throughly enjoying this book. I remember why I adored the story (both the book and the movies) as a child/young adult.

I started A Princess of Marswhich is the book John Carter is based on and I'm listening to the librivox version and usually skip over whos narrating.

I can't believe it has taken me almost a full month but I am 45 minutes from finishing The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I hope to finish listening to it here in a few minutes. I have definitely liked the last half of this book. There was a lot that could have been left out & still would have made a good book. Actually, my friends listened to the Abridged version and I bet it was actually a bit better in ways. I would hope they edited out some of the really boring parts that way. I plan on continuing on with the series but probably not right away.

I am so torn. I don't know whether to start listening to Second Grave on the Left, Tangled Threads or Cinder. I'm excited for all 3 of them. I need to make up my mind before tomorrow morning so I can be ready to start it on my drive to work.

What did you decide on Nikki? :)

I'm listening to Second Grave on the Left. So far it's not as exciting as the first book but I'm only a couple hours into it so we shall see. I'm gonna try to finish it quick so I can start 11/22/63 for the read through on our other group. I decided to do the audio for it but I'm not sure I can finish it in the time frame. It's 30+ hours...whew!

I listened to the Stephen King book and thought it was good on audio.

I just finished The Count of Monte Cristo today, and it could not come soon enough. It was interesting in some parts, but a lot of classics seem to go on and on for me!

Now I'm listening to for a 'break' from serious stuff. It's very imagininative.

I've just finished The Hunger Games, which I enjoyed a lot more than I thought I would. Today I'm starting The Way of Kings at over 45 hours it's the third longest book in my audio library.

Coincidentally The Count of Monte Cristo is the longest book I have, I've failed twice now in attempts to get through it. It's the dialog, it's just so old fashioned.
With failed attempts at The Count of Monte Cristo and
The Iliad I doubt I'll bother with any more of the classics.

Nikki - I did not like "2nd Grave" as much as the first one, but ... there is HOPE! Because "3rd Grave" ROCKED! So, hang on through this one, because book 3 is out there waiting! :-)

I am listening to Lover Reborn by J.R. Ward. I *freaked* because the audiobook wasn't available the day that the hardcover came out, but Audible apparently posted it a day or two later (after I had gone out and bought the hardcover!) Anyhow ... I'm enjoying it, and was especially glad (as a long-time fan of the series) to learn that Ward announced (at a signing on 3/30) that the next book is the series will be (view spoiler)[ Blaylock and Qhuinn's story. I mean - that is HUGE!!! Not only have I (and a lot of other fans) been dying for that one, but having an author of her stature put out a book with a m/m romance as the main pairing is a real milestone for the industry, whether readers agree with it or not. (hide spoiler)]

I bet 11/22/63 would be interesting in audio, but I don't know if I could get through it all in a month. lol. It does move fast while reading it though.

I am still listening to the Anne of Green Gables series. I am now on Anne of the Island. I just love this series. ::sigh::

I am about 6 hours into and I am really enjoying it. I think I may become a Stephen King fan after all :D

I started A Princess of Mars. I read the dark half by stephen king and have since not been able to read one, it freaked me out to much, love the movies though.

That's funny. Some of his books are scary, but I haven't been scared by the ones on audio. Maybe you should try it! Also, 11/22 is not at all scary or horror. It's more sci-fi, and really a love story if it's anything.

I just finished and now I'm listening to . Thought I'd take a break from serious for a little bit after Monte Cristo!

I am now almost done with Anne of Windy Poplars. I have a bad recording so it makes it a little stressful of a listen as well as its a different Narrator. I like Barbara Curoso much better. It will be interesting to see who narrates the next one. :)

Just started .

I'm about 40% through and even though it seems like it's taking forever, I really am enjoying it. Only 18 more hours to go ☺

Finished Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson. Thought both narrators Michael Kramer and Kate Reading were very good.
I listened to a little bit of Paladin of Souls by Lois McMaster Bujold but it's just to strange to hear narrator Kate Reading speaking in her natural English accent. She sounds so different it's a little jarring!.

Now I am listening to Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins.

I finished Anne of Windy Poplars and now am listening to Anne's House of Dreams. I am definitely ready for a break in the Anne series but at least its back to Barbara Curuso narrating. She is wonderful.

How do you like the narrator? I thought he did a great job.

I'm listening to . It's really intense!

Lena wrote: "How do you like the narrator? I thought he did a great job. "

I really like him. He has made the book so much more interesting, IMO. It's the first book I've heard him narrate but I'll be glad to listen to more of his.

I finished Anne's House of Dreams today. I can't decide if I'm going to continue with the series or switch it up with one of the other audios I now have. I'll have to get back to you guys on that one. :)

I've took a break today from 11/22/63. I'm off work today so no work commute to listen. I may listen to it a little later...after I finish a book I'm actually reading :D I'm ready to finish it soon though. I need a change of pace. Not sure what I'll try next but something more upbeat & fun. Don't get me wrong...I'm loving the audio on this though.

I totally understand needing the break. I've decided to start on audio. It's only about 7 hours so it's the perfect break from the Anne series. This is actually one of the free ones Nikki you told us about from audibles. :)

I understand that, too. After I listened to Les Mis, I just wanted something totally mindless and silly! I still can't believe I made it through a 60hr audiobook. Never doing that again!

WOW!! 60 hours!!! There's no way I could handle that. This 30 hour one has almost done me in.

Yeah, I think I started hating the book just for NEVER ENDING! lol...might have to get the abridged version of Moby Dick, as much as I hate to do that. I just don't think I can make it through another book that long. At least if I'm reading, I can skim. Listening to something that long is close to torture.

I'm listening to I love the BDB series.

Gavin wrote: "I'm listening to I love the BDB series."

Ah, yes. And John Matthew ROCKS! Enjoy!!!

I got the unabridged version of Moby-Dick but it's only 25 hours, plus it's on Playaway so I can speed it up some. So happy!

I finished on my way home last night. It was a great book. What an extraordinary man he was. So sad that we lost such a visionary.

I am going to start on my way home tonight.

I got Sarah's Key but never got around to reading it. Let me know how you like it!

Will do :)

Finally finished yesterday and I absolutely loved it. Awesome, thought provoking story.

I started last night and I'm already almost halfway through it. (Thanks for picking it for me BiblioJen). It's sarcasm at it's best, as usual. I still think it's a little too much sarcasm at times but I'm used to Charley's character now & she can't help it :) I was really hoping to get this 2nd audiobook in for the month of April but there's no way I can finish it by tonight.

I just bought the last 4 Outlander audiobooks from Audible for $7.95/ea (Amazing Deal!!!) I almost didn't since they are sooooooo long (one book is 57 hours...OMGosh) but I absolutely love the narrator, Davina Porter. I also picked up book 5 in the Hollows series (Rachel Morgan series)For a Few Demons More. I can't wait to get back to Rachel, Jenks & Trent...Yumm :D I have no idea when I'll get to any of these but at least I own them and can listen to them whenever.

11/22/63 and so far very interesting!

Oooohhh...I hope you enjoy it Yahaira. I definitely did. There were a few slower, kinda boring parts but overall I loved it.

Speaking of slow/boring parts...just started Moby-Dick. The story is really interesting, but the huge chunks of information on whales make my eyes glaze over.

Jennifer...I just got the notification from my library so I downloaded Sarah's Key on audio. Are you enjoying it? I just finished Third Grave Dead Ahead and am ready to start a new one but not sure if I want to start with this one yet or not.
