The summer months are on us and like many others, I’m thinking about our summer getaway. I imagine most have already made their vacation plans if not already enjoyed their summer vacation. Planning that official break from our daily routine has always ranked high on my list of priorities and usually by this time of…
My Unofficial Personal Listening Challenge for 2010 is proceeding quite well much to my delight. For my first challenge category, Fantasy Romance, I chose Lois McMaster Bujold’s The Sharing Knife, Volume 1: Beguilement. It was truly enchanting and I’m now sure I’ll listen to all four in the series. Next up was the Abridged Romance…
We’ve discussed how we listen, why we listen, and, on a continual basis, what we listen to. But one aspect we have yet to formally address is where we choose to obtain our romance audiobooks. Do you find most of your audiobooks through your library system? Do you regularly rent audiobooks? Do you buy your…
This week marks one year for our Speaking of Audiobooks column. Our discussions seem to get better with each passing month as we hear comments from new listeners and come to know the tastes of some of our regular sharers. Thanks for making this first year a success. Now for our second year! 2010 Personal…
When choosing your next audiobook, what are the factors that most influence your decision? The author is certainly first on the list followed by genre, narrator, affordability, and available formats.

Audible, in particular, seems to pride itself in surprising us with…
Our first Speaking of Audiobooks column carried the subtitle, It’s All About the Narrator and was a general discussion of romance audiobooks. It also provided us an opportunity to start sharing with each other, from one column to the next, those narrators that do (and don’t) work for us since we, as audiobook enthusiasts, know…
Our March new releases column is late. My workhorse of a laptop crashed and was off to the manufacturer for twelve days leaving me with no means of submitting a column. A bit frustrating – yes, but added to that aggravation was the fact that I was unable to sync my iPod and choose audiobooks…
Participating in AAR’s recent Annual Reader’s Poll and reading that Jennifer Ashley’s The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie was chosen Best Romance of 2009, my audio-thinking mind immediately started wondering about my favorite romance audiobooks of 2009. And then I realized that I didn’t want to stop with favorites from just one year. What about…
As I looked this past week for upcoming audiobook releases scheduled for later in 2010, I found a number that not only merited mention but had me quite enthused as well. It looks as though Married by Morning, Lisa Kleypas’ fourth in the Hathaway series, is scheduled for May while the fifth in the series,…
