The time has finally come for our first annual Favorite Romance Audiobooks Poll and it’s one I’ve been waiting for with great anticipation. When I first envisioned this poll two years ago in the first days of our Speaking of Audiobooks column, I merely thought of it as a comprehensive list of our favorite romance…

If you haven’t heard about Audible’s new venture, Audible Creation Exchange (ACX), have I got news for you.

Romance readers have enjoyed Anne Stuart’s books for years with many of her titles sitting on countless DIK shelves.

More recently I’ve discovered yet another way to enjoy Anne Stuart’s writing by listening to her books in audio…
Two categories are now marked completed in my 2011 Listening Challenge. I’m going for Level Three which means completing 12 of the 14 categories. First up was Listen to an Abridged Audiobook.
