BEST AUDIO BOOK OF 2021 SERIES
KJ Charles does have two series on their, which is nice. The romance offerings are very limited and I’ve pretty much listened to everything I’m interested in already. But since it is basically included with the membership, the offerings are more limited because authors have to agree.
BEST AUDIO BOOK OF 2021 PLUS
So now they have Audible Plus, which includes books from all genres, plus some podcasts, etc. I think we should be able to return books we don’t like, but I don’t think it’s right to allow customers to use it like a lending library at the expense of the authors/narrators. They formed a group “Adiblegate” and did win some concession from Audible, including a much more limited return policy. They also said it was “too difficult”to put returns on the authors’ dashboards,so authors rarely knew what the numbers were. It wasn’t Audible suffering from their policies.
When audiobooks were returned, Audible then subtracted the royalties from the author/narrator accounts. I started following some authors who detailed the underhanded way Audible was dealing with things within and without the Escape deal, including encouraging unlimited returns up to a year after purchase. Any Audible basically wasn’t making enough on their Audible Escape package to pay the authors and narrators fair royalties. They inferred that their Plus catalogue would be equally inclusive, but I’ve found it far less so. I was an enthusiastic subscriber to their romance package, which they eventually relabeled as escape, or something or other, before doing away with it. mentioned Penny Reid’s books from the Audio Plus catalogue, but in general, I’ve been hugely disappointed by that program’s meager offerings. Lastly, newbie author Annabelle McCormack’s Windswept was beautifully narrated by Elizabeth Grace.Īnd while I’m here: a general observation/complaint that I wonder if others have experienced. Lorelei King continued her great narration of Darynda Jones’s latest: A Good Day for Chardonnay, and Erin Mallon brought Jill Shalvis’s Love for Beginners to life with skill and talent. Another good 2021 audio was The Love Proof by Madeleine Henry and superbly narrated by Cassandra Campbell, and Patti Murrin did a fine job with Christina Lauren’s The Soulmate Equation. (Not a romance, but her narration of Kristin Hannah’s The Four Winds was extraordinary). I agree with the choice of People We Meet on Vacation, (and I liked the story more than many), but then I think Julia Whelan could narrate a shopping list and make it engrossing. Like many of the bitches, I spend A LOT of time listening to audiobooks. Riley’s excellent historical romance and historical fiction books that have made it to audio and I highly recommend them all.
Viktor Slezak narrated several Sandra Brown RS books,including ENVY, and they make an excellent team. Russo, Sean Crisden and Matthew Lloyd Davies ( narrates many KJ Charles books).
Male narrators I love include those above, plus Greg Boudreaux, Nicolas Boulton (narrates Laura Kinsale’s books), Iggy Toma, Michael Ferraiuolo, Nick J. Female narrators I adore include Kate Reading (amazing!),Moira Quick, and Mary Jane Wells. Role Model by Rachel Reid is wonderful, narrated by Cooper North.įor audiobooks released this year (books released earlier) I can recommend Lily Morton’s books, Best Man and Merry Measure, both narrated by Joel Leslie, who is prolfic and excellent! Winter’s Orbit by Everina Maxwell is also very good,and well narrated by Raphael Corckhill. The book isn’t perfect, but it’s very good and the narration is excellent. It’s how I read when I can’t sit! And even then I listen to them when I play my tablet games.:-)įor books and audio released together in 2021, I can recommend The Gentle Art of Fortune Hunting by KJ Charles, narrated by the always excellent Cornell Collins, and Roommate by Sarina Bowen, narrated by Teddy Hamilton and Stephen Dexter. I’m not working at the moment, and I listen to audiobooks in the car, at the grocery store, while doing housework, walking the dog, etc. I listen to romance on audio all the time, at the rate of 3 or 4 books a week.
