Audio-Bibliophiles discussion

I just completed Davis Bunn's Lion of Babylon. At first I was unsure of the the author's beginning, but was quickly drawn in to this Christian themed political/suspense thriller. It is too bad the the lead character, Mark Royce is the novel's least engaging character. The side characters are more richly drawn and interesting. I highly recommend it.

I'm listening to The Double Life of Anna Day by Louise Candlish

I'm relistening to Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford for a local book club. Just as good the second time around.

MJ I have been wanting to read that book. I now have it on my eReader so hopefully I will get to it sometime soon.

I'm listening to "I thee wed" by Amanda Quick

The House At Riverton
by Kate Morton

Lorelei King Has become one of my favorite narrators of audiobooks series like Stephanie Plum by Janet Evanovich, Mercy Thompson by Patricia Briggs and Charley Davidson by Darynda Jones

I just finished my 7th book this month, titled Second Grave on the Left (Charley Davidson, #2)
by Darynda Jones. My next book is City of Glass (The Mortal Instruments, #3)
by Cassandra Clare

I'm listening to The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. I'm nearly finished and feel confidant in saying this is one of the best fantasy books I've ever read/listened too.

Nick Podehl's narration has almost been as good as the book!.

I want to read this book but it's a big book.

It's so good that it makes 27 hours seem entirely too short. I can't recommend it highly enough.

I've started reading it twice now and had to put it down both times. Sometimes some books are like that for me though, I have to start reading them several times before they really grab me and start pulling me along. I've heard so many people say it is an excellent book so I'm sure I'll get through it eventually.

How far into did you get?. I found the first chapter a little slow but enjoyed it from the second chapter onwards.

Still even the best books can't please everybody, most people seem to love Lord of the Rings but I hated it!.

Was on the road for almost 5 hours yesterday so I finished . Even though it was a bit predictable, I still enjoyed it. Sometimes I just need a frivolous read. :D

Started as well. So far, it picks up right where the last book left off but it's kinda ho-hum at the moment. The animosity between Gin & Mab Monroe is getting a little tedious. I hope it picks up though. I really do enjoy this series.

The Chaperone is the Audiobook I am currently listening to.

Finished Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Starting Girl who played with Fire tomorrow.

I am listening to a book I think will never end. The Fall of Hyperion is one of the few books I've ever read where I can't decide if I love it or hate it. There are times I want to tell the author to STFU because he goes on and on and on and I'm ready for him to stop. I'm not sure I am understanding what he's meaning to say. But the story is compelling and I really care about what happens to the characters. The world he has created is byzantine in its complexity. I have been challenged by this book, and yet, I'm still not sure it's worth it. Or maybe it's one of the best books I've ever read. I'm not sure.

I finished this afternoon. Not sure what I'm going to tackle next :)

I just finished my 8th book this month, titled City of Glass (The Mortal Instruments, #3)
by Cassandra Clare. My next book is Perfect (Pretty Little Liars, #3)
by Sara Shepard

Did you enjoy it Tim? My friend is listening to it now. She said she thought it was a bit boring but she was only an hour or so into it.

Nikki wrote: "Finished Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Starting Girl who played with Fire tomorrow."

Make sure you have the last one on hand when you get to the end. The second and third books are two parts of the same story.

It's Really good, after an hour it gets interesting.

I'm glad to hear that, since I plan on listening to it myself sometime here soon. Thanks Tim

I am listening to that one too...

I listened to "The Chaperone" as well, and loved it. It is a little slow at the beginning, but I'd stay stick with it.

I'm listening to . So far I like it. It's just starting to get serious and I'm a little less into it. But that might because I haven't been listening to it in a focused way. I know that people have liked it before. So it must be good?

I'm having trouble finishing the books I've started. I'm about 20% done with , halfway through and about 20% through . I've checked out and from the library, and they're both due on 9/1 -- but I've also taken the Here's Five challenge, so I need to read next. >_< There just aren't enough hours in the day for reading!

Taking a break from Wuthering Heights . Listening to The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss.

Next on my list is The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern, narrated by Jim Dale

Christine wrote: "...Next on my list is The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern..."

That was one of the best things I listened to last year. ^_^

I'm going to start on my way to work tomorrow.

I highly recommend The Curse of Chalion and The Thirteenth Tale. I read the latter around the time of reading/listening to The Forgotten Garden and could not say which one was better. There are two narrators who are absolutely superb.

The Curse of Chalion is my favorite of Lois McMaster Bujold and just plain one of my favorite fantasies of all time. Again, the narration does the book justice. Neither will disappoint.

I love Jim Dale. I listened to him narrate the entire Harry Potter series. I listened to a bit of The Night Circus after downloading from Audible last night, it sounds very intriguing. But I just started The Name of the Wind, so it will have to wait a little bit. :(

Started part 3 this morning. Like the narrator very much.

I just finished my 9th book this month, titled Perfect (Pretty Little Liars, #3)
by Sara Shepard. My next book is Third Grave Dead Ahead (Charley Davidson #3)
by Darynda Jones

Listening to The Last Child, and I really enjoy it.

I'm now listening to Crystal Gardens by Amanda Quick

I'm also listening to 'Daughter of Smoke and Bone' by Laini Taylor. I really like it so far, or it just might be the reader is great! She is able to create the very interesting locales of the novel (Prague, the Middle East, "Elsewhere", etc). I'm in it for the long haul!!!! BTW, How do I add in pictures in my comments (I'm techno-challenged!) :)

Lisa, look right above the comment box. You will see "add book/author". If you click on it then you will see a search box. Type in the name of the book and notice at the bottom you can click on link or cover. If you click link then you will only get a link to a book. If you click cover then you will get an actual picture of the book cover. Just click search then click add. Hope this makes sense :)

I just started listening to The Race. It is narrated by Scott Brick who has done exception work on many of Cussler's works. Dirk Pitt aside, I have quickly become a fan of this new series featuring early 20th Century Van Dorn Detective Isaac Bell. I highly recommend them on audio for adventure seekers.

I just finished my 10th book this month, titled Third Grave Dead Ahead (Charley Davidson #3)
by Darynda Jones. My next book is Unbelievable (Pretty Little Liars, #4)
by Sara Shepard

hi! I'm new. I'm almost finished the Golden Age and next up is Hallowed Grounds. I've got a box of about 50 more waiting too!

I am almost finished the second part, so good. I am going away on Saturday for 3 days, I so want to be finished before I go.

I finished A Discovery of Witches and then downloaded book 2 Shadow of Night to my Nook. There was a $20. price difference since it's such a new book. Anyway, funny thing I noticed last night is that while reading Shadow of Night I can still hear the narrator and the character voices in my head. :)

I wish I read them back to back. :) I am in the middle of Shadow of Night now. I am enjoying it.

Listening to Awesome Narrator!
This is one of those series that is most likely better in audio than actually reading

I just started this morning in the car and it had me crying before I got through the first disc. I lost both of my Shepherds last year, so I'm still pretty tender-hearted when I read stories about dogs. I see that this is a sequel to , so I'll have to look for that book.

I'm listening to I Think I Love You by Allison Pearson - well read, and quite entertaining.

I just finished my 11th book this month, titled Unbelievable (Pretty Little Liars, #4)
by Sara Shepard. My next book is City of Fallen Angels (The Mortal Instruments, #4)
by Cassandra Clare

I just finished , ugh for a number of reasons.

I will start .

And had awesome narration.

I'm listening to:




And a biography of PT Barnum, which I just started. It's in my car, and sadly, I can't remember the name of it! I'll figure it out next time I go somewhere.
