Second part : Who is your all time favorite Classic Narrator, that can really bring the book more to life for you ?"

Dickens probably but Thomas Hardy is a close tie.

Simon Vance or George Guidall

I am pretty sure you have to be using credits but without looking it up I guess I could be wrong about that.

I have listened to many of his novels and IMO the BEST ones that you really shouldn't miss are IT and Hearts in Atlantis. They were both outstanding!

It's the Anton Lesser version. I also have A Tale of Two Cities..."

I couldn't resist going and looking that one up. Very nice from the sample. I don't guess I really need two versions of the same book though do I? :-)

I am in the same group I bet as I have this in the queue as well. I have the Simon Vance narration. How about you?

I have also started reading and listening to Black House. This is my second time reading this. I read it the first time soon after it's release. It is the current month's read in the Stephen King Fans group.

I got my credit and used it for this: Black House

FINALLY an awesome selection for this sale. I went on quite a shopping spree today! Thanks Audible!

I am with you Kristie. I am not even remotely interested in the Romance genre but I suppose there must be plenty who are since there are tons of them. :-)

Waiting patiently for Fiction/LiteraryFiction/Classics sale. In the meantime I have plenty in my library.

Same here. Blech! LOL

Oh well nothing on my wish list there either. Wah!

My guess for the download question would be to remove the files and re-download?

I listened to The Painted Veil, the one narrated by Kate Reading. I love this story and really enjoyed this narration of it. It was my second time reading it but first time in audiobook format. It was excellent!

I am also reading through the complete Sherlock Holmes so I will be getting back to that.

I felt the same way about the BOGO this time. Nothing sparked my interest and not a single item from my wish list was on there even. There is usually at least one or two. I am passing on it.

I bought extra credits in anticipation of the sale but after looking them over there was nothing that called to me. Oh well it's not like I won't be happy to spend them at some point. :-)

Thanks for the great comments,. I am looking forward to listening to it on my trip home from Chicago on Monday.

I finished Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore today on my drive to Chicago and I absolutely loved it! Very different in a good way and loved the narrator.

Yes it would qualify and also pre-orders do qualify too. "

Cool. Thanks!

I only had 2 credits and spent one yesterday. I get 2 a month on the 22nd. I noticed after spending my credit yesterday that I was being offered to buy three credits now. Do you suppose if I did that and spent them before tomorrow I would receive the $10? Also do pre-orders qualify? I have the new Neil Gaiman book The Ocean at the End of the Lane in my wishlist. Hmm..

I started Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore because of a group read in a group I recently joined here. This is what I love about Goodreads and being a part of a few groups; I give books a try that I like a lot but may not have other wise come across.

I am less than 20% into it. I was listening while grocery shopping this morning and more than a few times found my self snickering out loud. I bet I got a few strange looks, LOL!

I am finished with Joyland and I am pleased to report that I really liked it a lot. If you are a Constant Reader I feel safe in recommending that you will not be sorry for spending the credit. :-)
