Audio-Bibliophiles discussion

List 5 audiobooks from your own TBR list and the next poster chooses one of them for you to listen to. That poster then posts 5 books he/she wants to listen to and so on..

I thought this sounded fun so thought we could try it out. :D

**Sometimes there are lulls and you may post but nobody responds. If I see it, I'll go ahead & choose a book for you. The next person that wants to join in can then post their 5 book choices & won't have to worry about choosing one for someone else**

Here's my 5.

This is a great way to help pick the next Audio Book.

I will have to look at my list of books I have on Audio and see if I even have 5 at home right now. :) I will work on this later today or tonight.

That's what I thought too Jennifer. I'm hoping to be able to sneak another audio in before the end of the month. Not sure if I will or not since there's only a week left & I'm not done with 11/22/63

Nikki - for you, I pick "Third Grave Dead Ahead." LOVED that one, and Lorelei King does a masterful job with the narration. Enjoy!

Here are my five:

Hello, BiblioJen I think you should listen to



I love the BDB series and the narrator Jim Frangione does a great job with the whole series.

My five are:

Ok Gavin...I'm picking for you. Make sure you let me know if it's any good (since I'm waiting to read it as well).

I'm not posting 5 for myself since someone just chose for me. I hope someone else posts 5 more soon.

lol, I don't even have 5 audio books to post. :) When I do I will definitely check in here as this is an awesome to choose your next read when you are completely unsure.

I should finish with the one I'm listening to either today or definitely tomorrow. What should I listen to next??

Nikki, I'll return the favor and pick

Cinder by Marissa Meyer

I loved this!.

I'd post five of my own but after I finish

I'm going to read

Thanks for choosing for me Gavin! I'm excited to listen to this one. I think I'll like it as well. I read the short story that tells how Cinder ended up in this family. I thought it was interesting so this should be a good pick for me.

Are you going to do the audio of ? I read it & really enjoyed it. I thought about getting it on audio but since I already have it & the second book in kindle form I changed my mind. Hope you like it as well.

Yes, I'm listening to the audiobook of

Ahhh, yes I remember following a link that lead to the Cinder short story. I had meant to read it before listening to Cinder but completely forgot about it. What an idiot!!.

I should finish my current audiobook in the next couple of days.

So what should I listen to next?.

I love the Chicagoland Vampire Series. I haven't listened to the audiobook though so don't know if the narrator is any good. Anyway, I'm choosing for you. :)

Thanks Nikki. I listened to the first fifteen minutes when I bought it and the narrator seemed OK.

It's funny it only made it to the list because I forgot to add .

The only books/authors I recognized were & . I debated between the two but decided on the Chicagoland book. Hope you enjoy it.

Okay. I guess I don't have anyone to pick from?



What do you all think?

I have all five of those audiobooks and have yet to listen to any of them. I think I got all of them free except The Man in the Iron Mask.

I say go with the BBC are usually quite good with their adaption's.

I'm most likely to listen to first. It will go well with my recent ploy of listening to the audiobook and then watching a film adaption.

Antony and Cleopatra it is! Thanks!!!

Here's mine!



Who's going to choose for me?

Okay, I'll give this a try. Here are my 5 out of about 50 TBRs:

, , ,

... and the winner is...

I hope you'll read and let me know what you think. I bought it, but I haven't been in the mood yet to read it.

My 5 are:

The Thirteenth Tale
by
Diane Setterfield



Wonderful you might even do a second listen to it.

My 5 are:

Who's going to choose for me?"

Rachel...I think you've been skipped over haven't you :( Robert should have chosen your book but I don't see where he did.

Since he didn't I'll choose for you - The winner is....

I'm going to leave Shirley's books free for the next person to choose. I hope it doesn't confuse anyone since I posted this after Shirley's book choices. If they miss your post Shirley...I'll check back in & choose for you as well :)

Shirley, I choose for you! Thank you Nikki for choosing mine :)

Rachel wrote: "Shirley, I choose for you! Thank you Nikki for choosing mine :)"

Thanks for choosing ... bumping up on TBR list.

Okay, I'm back.



What do we think?

How was ?

It was difficult to follow. I've never read it before, so the different characters were not easy to follow. Also they spoke very quickly and so I had a hard time following the words.

That's too bad. :( Hopefully your picker will choose something exciting for you this time. I'd do it, but I haven't read mine yet, so I'm not ready to take another turn.

I will pick for you Poonam. :)

Listen to Wizard of Oz with me. :)

Listen to Wizard of Oz with me. :)"

Sweet! Thanks!

that's fun,
I am soon finished with
I was wanting to read next, but now i am wondering whether or not I'd start the next book by Trudi Canavan and follow the "series" either with prequel or sequel and i still never read , other than that i have + laying around

so my five:

I loved , but it put me in a funk for three days after finishing it. No, "funk" isn't the right word...it wasn't depressing, exactly. I just couldn't get into any of the three or four other books I tried to listen to after it. I finally had to read some print brain candy to clear my palate before I could move on.

I was hoping someone would pick that one. I loved it. and interestingly enough, I though that To Kill a Mockingbird was a good companion book for it because its told from the perspective of children that aren't fully aware of what's going on.

Thank you Shojoholic and Poonam :)

This is a cool challenge, since I don't own audio books, I think I will just steal some of your books that are on your TBR's. I see some that I think I want to try, hopefully I will be able to get them from my library.

That's a good point, Poonam. I haven't thought of them that way before, but they are a good match (and both 5-star reads, in my opinion).

I agree with you, I was off a few days after reading this book but I thought it was excellent.. Speaking of a book putting you off kilter, Have you ever read
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne.
It is excellent but the ending I never ever saw coming and it was jaw dropping. IMO.
This book I could never watch on TV or Movie but it will stick with you for a while.

I have read both the Book thief and the Boy in the Striped Pajamas. I was also off for a little bit after listening to the book thief. That was my first book finished this year.

I have seen the movie for the boy in the striped pajamas. It was really well done, of course the book was better but the movie was good.

I'm going to post five again for myself. I'm not sure when I will be able to get to it since I'm in the middle of one & have the April Read-A-Long to start at the first of the month but at least I'll know what to have on tap for after that :)

I recommend . I read this after my first foot surgery. And I can still remember it in detail a year and half later. Very good book.
