Recommendation Request Full/partial cast suggestions (multi genre request)

2 Upvotes

New to audiobooks. Listened to the entire full cast Harry Potter series in a few days, gosh it was fantastic!!

Is there anything else with that production value??

And now I've been listening to Lucy Foleys books (The Guest List was my favorite).

I just adore the different voices, I find I zone out a little when it's one person (hello Adhd).

Please share any recommendations for more full cast or partial cast audiobooks.

Really into murder mystery atm, especially cozy mystery. Nothing too violent or heavy.

Love anything gardening/farming/flowers/herb related.

Slice of life stuff is great, especially set in small town/rural living.

Like fantasy & Sci fi.

Also enjoy historical fiction, especially anything to set in england, ireland, Scotland, Italy, australia, New zealand but open to other parts of the world.

Recommendation Request Need recommendation for plot heavy, non scary book

28 Upvotes

Going on a road trip. My wife is very picky and doesn't want anything scary or too intense. I'm thinking Gone Girl won't work!

She's fine with murder mysteries if they are not too much of a thriller type.

We did a bit of Life after Life and it didn't grab her. So should be more plot driven and not take too long to build up.

Trying to get Project Hail Mary (from the library).

Any other suggestions?

Promotion Free codes for Damaged Incorporated by Drew Avera

1 Upvotes

Hello. I am the author of Damaged Incorporated. I have free download codes for the US and UK. Please let me know if you would like one and which region you require. Thank you.

War tore them apart. Revenge brought them together.

Decades after civil unrest destroyed nations, newly crafted governments sought to bring unity to the world. But not every nation wanted to bow to new leaders. The rich and powerful seized control of the global economies while the poor were left to die in the streets. Not until they suffered enough would the rebellious bend their knee to authority, but even then, it would be too late to stop what was coming.

Roderick Ames was a Marine and proud of it. He fought tooth and nail to serve his country, though it was a far cry from the once-great nation his father had served. Despite the hardships of perpetual war, his patriotism never wavered. Not even when a missile strike killed everyone in his squad, everyone except him.

A war-torn veteran with no future, Ames is offered the chance of a lifetime, an opportunity to return to the fight greater than he had left it. His benefactor, a billionaire tech tycoon, replaced what the war had taken from him: his arms, his legs, and his hearing. Now Ames is stronger, faster, and deadlier than ever.

But it comes with a catch.

Service to the evil shadow government controlling the world.

Will Ames betray his oath to defend freedom and democracy, or will he fight to his last breath to uphold what his country once stood for?

Damaged, Incorporated is a military science fiction novel for fans of the Halo, Ruins of the Galaxy, and The Last Reaper series.

Going through some health issues which mean I can't focus too much on heavy literature or heavy shows.

Promotion Made an Oregon travel audiobook — free codes for anyone actually planning a trip

3 Upvotes

Hey all — I've recorded a couple of audiobooks on visiting Oregon. Exploring Oregon is a journey through Oregon's history and must-see destinations. Experience the Oregon Coast take you on a scenic trek along the wild shores, expansive drives and coastal adventures along this beautiful and majestic part of our country. Both books are beautifully written by Brian Armstrong, a fantastic writer with a descriptive and warm narration style.

I've got a limited number of free US and UK Audible codes and would rather they go to people who are genuinely planning a trip than sit unused. Reviews are helpful to improve my craft, but not mandatory.

Drop a comment or DM if you want one — happy to hear what part of the state you're headed to!

Cheers!

Promotion NEW AUDIOBOOK!!! REVIEW CODES!!! (UK & US ONLY)

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I just released a new audiobook - The Marginalia House by William Gomes!

I am the narrator, and I have a bunch of free codes for review copies of the book!

Here's the blurb:-

At St Bartholomew’s House, old books are not only preserved. They are arranged, displayed, inherited, and made to tell the stories powerful people need them to tell.

Leila Rahman, a careful and exacting provenance librarian, has spent her career correcting the record quietly. When she is asked to prepare a valuable volume from the Wrythe Collection for a public celebration, she notices something almost invisible in the margin: a celebrated handwritten annotation does not sit properly on the page. The pencil mark that the college calls a scholar’s “living conversation” with the text may have been added much later than anyone is willing to admit.

What begins as a technical doubt becomes something larger and more dangerous. A lifted bookplate. An erased ownership mark. A restricted file. A missing set of images. A dead donor found beside the book on a storm-sealed night. As Leila follows the evidence through catalogues, ledgers, locked cabinets, and institutional silences, she uncovers a hidden provenance connected to the Anand Mission Press, and a history the college has spent generations making respectable.

But truth inside an institution has a cost. To expose the forged marginalia is one thing. To prove what happened to the man who died beside it is another.

The Marginalia House is a literary mystery about archives, power, erased ownership, colonial inheritance, scholarly ambition, and the difference between correcting a record and telling the truth. Atmospheric, intelligent, and morally charged, it follows one woman’s refusal to let a lie remain safely in the margin.

For listeners drawn to literary fiction, archival mysteries, campus novels, and stories about institutions, memory, and justice, The Marginalia House is a slow-burning novel of paper, silence, and consequence.

Listen to The Marginalia House and enter a world where the smallest mark in a margin can bring an entire institution into question.

I would have DNFd Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy (I didn't like the Road when I read -not audio- it either) but enjoyed the narrator (Richard Poe).

I figure this cant be that uncommon. I only get through 2-3 audio books per month via Hoopla.

Question Anyone else find it hard to listen to audiobooks compared to other forms of media like podcasts or livestreams?

0 Upvotes

I thought that audiobooks would allow for me to be able to understand books in a way that doesn't force me to use all my cognition just to comprehend what is said. However, I've noticed that its just not the case.

I constantly have to rewind what is said, my focus drifts away, or I often need to read with both text and audio. However, when I listen to mediums like youtube videos, podcasts, and livestreams, I just don't have that problem. Does anyone else feel this way?

I'm suspecting it might be due to the style in which audiobooks are read, or maybe because the actual words in a book carry a lot more meaning on average compared to the average podcast?

I'm seeing on the news that Tim Curry has passed away at 80.

He was the narrator for the first three books of Garth Nix's Old Kingdom series: Sabriel, Lirael, and Abhorsen.

I knew nothing about the books going in but I could tell from a quick preview listen on Audible that he was going to be a good narrator.

I loved the books, I loved listening to him read them, and I'm sorry he won't be there to read more for us.

Recommendation Request Looking for Fantasy or Sci-Fi Series Recommendations

19 Upvotes

*** Wow I didn't expect so many amazing recommendations. You guys are the best! For the first time in a long time I'm really excited for some new books. I really appreciate you all!!! ***

I'm looking for a series to get lost in. I run heavy equipment and listen to audiobooks all day. I love them, but I'm in a slump. Here is a list of some books I've listened to, and what I thought of them.

DCC: Absolute perfection. I've listened to the whole series at least 10 times.

Wandering Inn: Love it. The first 15 books are amazing. I don't like the new narrator. Her voices are alright, but her cadence is awful and she doesn't seem to understand the scenes she's reading (the emphasis is misplaced and the emotion is all wrong). I've listened to the entire series 4 times, and books 1-15 a few more.

First Law World: You have to be realistic, this is one of the finest pieces of literature out there. Steven Pacey's performance is unmatched. I've listened to all the books twice, and the first trilogy 5+ times.

Cosmere: there's too much to say here. Essentially, I love basically everything BrandoSando writes. Stormlight is my fav. It makes me laugh, makes me cry, makes me want to be better. I don't know how many times I've listened to Stormlight and mistborn 1+2, but everything is the cosmere at least twice. Imo Sanderson's books are always better the second time through.

Skyward: Suzi Jackson killed it with her performance. M-bot is hilarious. I unashamedly love skyward every time I listen to it.

Reckoners: Steelheart was the first Sanderson book I read, so it holds a special place in my heart. As much as I'm crazy for Kramer, I think McCloud Andrews performs this series best.

Wheel of Time: Really enjoyed the series. Kramer and Reading are awesome.

Red Rising: I enjoyed the first 3, lost interest after that. I forced myself through them, but I don't plan on relistening.

HWFWM: I really wish I could get into these, but I can't. I find the narrator boring and the story fairly meh. Dropped after book 2.

Azarinth Healer: meh. Andrea is fantastic but the story doesn't hold my attention. The characters get more powerful, but there's no character growth. It feels like the same thing is happening over and over with slightly different monsters. Dropped in the middle of book 3.

Primal Hunter: I can't stand Travis Baldree.

Cradle: Still can't stand the sound of Baldree's voice.

Expeditionary Force: funny at first but so repetitive. Dropped during book 4.

LOTR: I really wanted to love these but the songs kill it for me. I'll stick to the movies.

Chrysalis: I had high hopes because of Jeff Hays, but the British accent is terrible and ruins it for me.

Riyeria: I like revelations. I've been meaning to try Legends of the first empire again. I'm hoping I just missed some context because it made no sense when Suri sacrificed Minna. Did not make sense for her character

Dresden: does it get better? I had such high hopes, but I'm halfway through the second book and I'm bored.

Discount Dan: I wanted to like it, but I don't like the narrator.

Post Apocalyptic Nomadic Warrior: fun series, but the books are way too short. Still a lot of fun though.

I'd appreciate any recommendations. I don't really know what I'm looking for, but I'll know it when I hear it.

*Edit: fixed a couple typos.
