I like Gardner. I'm weird that way. Ma...Hmmm... I like Gardner. I'm weird that way. Maybe I'll try that one. I'm really not into the Plum books. I'm weird that way, too, LOL.<br /><br />As for the rest, I've read them all with the exception of the Gabaldons. My worry here is that I'd be listening to them till I was about 90. They're super long!<br /><br />And I remember Wendy telling me how she hates to listen to erotic on audio. Like a voyeur! Heh.<br /><br />I'm after mostly romance and thrillers, I think. Anything else and I sometimes have to go back a bit to see where I left off. So I like having the book in hand.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250972350798310498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12146466.post-2290510261336978172009-06-30T10:28:51.901-05:002009-06-30T10:28:51.901-05:00LOL Renee!

I listened to an older Sandra Brown once (Fanta C....I think?) and when the male narrator got to the love scene(s) I started giggling uncontrollably.<br /><br />Yes, I really am that mature.<br /><br />As far as production quality - I find Books On Tape and Recorded Books traditionally put out a very good product. However, they are kind of pricey, and I'm not sure if their stuff is available on Audible or not. I would suggest checking your local library....but we've had that conversation before....Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12485867264936716806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12146466.post-22707009813145589482009-06-29T23:28:33.163-05:002009-06-29T23:28:33.163-05:00OK, so I'm looking at my list. I totally secon...OK, so I'm looking at my list. I totally second the Evanovich and Grafton.<br />I actually just listened to the first book in Brockmann's Troubleshooters series, and I really enjoyed it. (Like I said Sat, I don't read much rom suspense, but this was a good one!)<br />I've also loved the SEP books that I've listened to. I listened to all the Kleypas contemporaries. I've heard people complain about the Texas accents, but since I don't know any better, I thought they were really good! lol<br />The JD Robb Eve Dallas series is a good production, though I'm sort of meh about the series. (I know, I'm probably the only one in the world.)<br /><br />Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series is one of the best audiobook productions I've ever listened to.<br /><br />Wendy: Speaking of audiobooks and love scenes, I had forgotten that I actually <i>listened</i> to Megan Hart's Tempted. Definitely <i>not</i> PG! :-)<br /><br />Are you strictly interested in romance or are there other genres you're interested in?Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15408227410388147148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12146466.post-33690947257687723972009-06-29T19:25:44.622-05:002009-06-29T19:25:44.622-05:00Keep in mind that I don't listen to romance on...Keep in mind that I don't listen to romance on audiobook. I just can't do it. I can read the filthiest smut on the printed page, but have someone read a PG-rated love scene to me and I get all squirked out.<br /><br />I'm partial to mystery/suspense on audio. Say Goodbye by Lisa Gardner was good (although it's a disturbing story). Sue Grafton's alphabet series. Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum books. For YA - I liked Meg Cabot's Princess Diaries books and you really can't top Jim Dale's reading of the Harry Potter series.<br /><br />That's all I got at the moment. If I think of any more I'll give ya a holler!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12485867264936716806noreply@blogger.com
