Ooooh good topic. Right now I'm listening to Mockingjay. I only signed up for audible about 6 weeks ago and have already gone through four books (The other two Hunger Games books, Pride and Prejudice and A Christmas Carol) they were all great. Next up will probably be 11/22/63...

Noeleen I listened to 11.22.63 on audible Jessica, it was great, I hope you will like it, the narrator is really good

Heather | 72 comments I'm still on 11/22/63. No listening time over the holidays, as I normally only listen when I'm in the car on my own, or on the treadmill. It's an excellent book to listen to though.

Jules Ray | 7 comments I'm listening to 77 Shadow Street by Dean Koontz. The narrator is really good considering the number of characters and the voice changes he has to make.

This is my first book from audible.com and the quality is excellent!

I'm listening to The Dovekeepers. I only listen to audio books while I'm in my sewing room and haven't sewed for about a week so I'm not too far into it yet. The Dovekeepers by Alice Hoffman

Hi Genie, I couldn't find that book in audible.com? is that where you bought it from?


message 16: by Heather (new)

Heather | 72 comments I finished 11.22.63 11/22/63 by Stephen King on audible last night. Wow. Just wow! I absolutely loved it. I'm now listening to Birthdays for the Dead by Stuart MacBride Birthdays for the Dead by Stuart MacBride . He's one of my favourite authors, although his books are usually quite gruesome, so I'm not sure how it'll be on audible!

I listened to it on audio too, wasn't the narrator soo good!? There were parts that got me emotional just by the way he was saying it. Loved it!

That's sad. Maybe it will show up soon. I'd write to the author, maybe she'll send you a freebie!

Rich (ratorr) | 14 comments I've got the whole Harry Potter series on audio that I listen to when ever I drive anywhere. When I'm done listening to those I plan on listening to The Hobbit/LotR. From there who knows.

GenieD | 27 comments Listening to Women's Murder Club #2. Good story but the reader is not the greatest.

I just finished listening to The Kite Runner, what an intense book. It was read by the author, which made it that much better.


message 28: by Andrea (new)

Andrea (amcruzor) | 1 comments Listening to Blood, Bones and Butter on my commute. Great book. Will probably finish tomorrow. I think I will start listening to the bio of Steve Jobs next.

GenieD | 27 comments Listening to Shanghai Girls. It's ok, but not loving it.yet.


message 30: by Hannah (new)

Hannah (hannahtb12) | 8 comments Almost done listening to War Horse. This is a good book but the narrator makes it AWESOME!


message 31: by Melinda (new)

Melinda (melinda413) | 34 comments I listen to some non fiction books, in particular Malcolm Gladwell. The Outliers was fantastic, he narrates it too. I'm listening to The Tipping Point by him right now, it's great.

I think I would have liked this series much better if I had not listened to the audio books.. Sometimes a narrator can ruin a perfectly good book.

I gave up on a book about George Washington because the reader was sooooo slow and I could hear every breath he took at every pause. I tried to speed it up, but he still drove me batty!!

Heather (luvmy4brats) | 4 comments GenieD I wasn't a fan of The Hunger Games audio books. Yesterday I found out that the narrator was the same as the Woman's Murder Club!
