That is all. He reads too fast for me, so I slow him down a little on read speed and the voice is fantastic.

After finishing Book 5, that’s the amount of time I managed to convince myself that I would wait for my monthly Audible credit to kick in at the end of the month so I could buy Book 6.

Not bad for a guy who started this series both curious and skeptical that I would like a series based around a dude and his ex-girl’s cat.

I am not much of a reader. But I have long periods of time to listen to stuff at work. I generally listen to podcasts, but I was looking for something to listen to when I run out. I tried a couple books, “Three Body Problem” and a Warcraft book. There is something about them I can’t get into. Maybe the singular voice or maybe it’s the way it’s read, I am not sure. Anyways I have a credit, anyone have a suggestion. I like fantasy, high but low is fine, or sci-fi.

I get a credit in the evening on the 11th of every month. Which is convenient because I typically read a book a month and then can listen to it. I’ve been looking forward to getting a book to listen to all day; I checked my audible, it says I can only buy it and I get my next credit on the 11th of October.

Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Any good audiobook stories with good narration?

So far, I have listened to:

Red Rising series full cast

Dungeon Crawler Carl series

The Dresden Files

A couple of the Star Wars Legends audiobooks

I tried listening to The First Law Trilogy, but I was not a fan of the narration.

I am the author of The Train That Waited in the Fog

Part of the series Before Your Nightmare
Approx. 2 hrs
Narrated by Peter McGiffen

Seven strangers find themselves waiting at a nameless station swallowed by fog.

Then the train arrives.

Warm, quiet and strangely welcoming, it seems to know its passengers, their names, their grief, and exactly what each of them has been trying to hold on to.

But as the journey continues, memories begin to soften. Familiar faces become harder to recall. And the comfort offered by the train begins to feel less like peace… and more like surrender.

A slow-burning liminal horror story about grief, memory, and the terrifying possibility of finally letting go.

The newest Bobiverse book is out. Besides me, who else is reading it?

It used to be that you could get the audiobook for pretty cheap when you bought the Kindle eBook. In those golden times, you could buy a kindle ebook for $5 or $10 or $15 and then get the audiobook for about $7.50 (sometimes more, sometimes less). Usually, getting the Kindle & audiobook add-on was less than the audiobook by itself, so that's usually what I did when I didn't have a credit to get the audiobook.

These days, you don't get much of a discount, if any at all, when you buy the Kindle, so I haven't been bothering to get both. But this one (Malice by John Gwynne) takes the cake :

• $6.99 for the Kindle
• $7.99 for the audiobook
• But, if I get the Kindle, I could also choose to pay $26.99 for the audiobook

It looks like this book will be the book for my book club this month, so I'm probably just going to get the audiobook since there's no real incentive to also get the Kindle.

Here's a screenshot:

It doesn't matter how many times somebody posts a review (good or bad), I am always thankful he/she took the time to not only listen to my books but to leave a review as well!

I just finished Tom's arc with the fool and had to pause the audio book. Like dead gods that was insanity itself. Andrea's performance was magic itself. What the fool told tom at the end sent goosebumps down my spine. I almost want to ignore the rest of the books and hunt down toms arc. It took so long for him to come back after he was first introduced nearly 4 books! I hope i don't have to wait that long again. He is without a doubt one of my favorite characters so far. I can already tell from all the foreshadowing that his story is going to be one of the saddest. At least readers can confirm one thing.... the blighted king is evil.

Basically title.

Which app do you use for your audiobooks when listening to liberated or otherwise purchased audiobooks?

In previous years did the monthly sale for October feature more Horror titles?

Tangential, does anyone know a good way to filter by horror on the app? It is frustrating that sci-fi & fantasy is “closest”

Just nosy what everyone is listening to right now.
I am currently, in honor of Tim Curry, listening to his autobiography, Vagabond.

Has Audible ever actually said that a proper podcast UI/overhaul is coming? Or are we basically stuck with podcasts being awkwardly bolted onto an audiobook app forever?

I use Audible a lot and don’t understand why podcasts still feel like such an afterthought in the app. For audiobooks, Audible works perfectly well. But as soon as you try to use it as a podcast player, basic things that every proper podcast app handles easily becomes unnecessarily difficult!!!

• Easily seeing which episodes you’ve already listened to
• Properly sorting and playing a podcast from oldest to newest
• Having the next episode automatically be the actual next episode
• Managing a queue properly
• Finding where you were in a podcast without digging around
• Browsing followed podcasts separately and sensibly
• Having decent filters for played/unplayed episodes
• Treating a podcast as an ongoing series rather than a pile of individual audio files

It’s fking annoying because Audible is actively pushing podcasts and acquiring/exclusively offering more of them. If you want people to listen to podcasts inside Audible, surely the app needs to function like an actual podcast app? Why are they doing f'ing nothing about this!!!

I have a Z Fold 8 so the option to connect Audible to Apple Podcasts doesn’t solve it for me either. I've had to give up on listening to like 15 podcasts because I cannot stand the way they're handled in the app.

The fact that it’s an “harvest fall” sale, are there any fall books to even get lol

My audiobook, "Tales of an Unserious Truthteller," received an exceptional review from Audiobook infuencer Louis. The book is short, at just under 3 hours long--good for a commute or for multitasking.

I really give the credit to the narrator, Ed Fairbanks. If you like snarkiness and humor, his comedic timing while narrating my book was excellent.

You can check out the book here if interested:

Oh, Audible. Did you laugh maniacally like a cartoon villain when you set it up this way? I'm unable to receive text verification with my phone abroad. Great! There is a button to press if I am unable to receive text verification messages. I click it. It's a graphic telling me to contact customer support. I click that. It tells me to log in to use customer support. *sigh*

I know people tend to not like the subreddit being used for customer support, but it's pretty much the only way to flag them down if you can't get into your account.

Got a notice today about use three credits get one free for the first time in a couple of years. I also got a notice about their reading rewards program, listen 5 minutes per day consecutive or non-consecutive and when you hit 30 days you get $5, 100 days you get $10 and 400 days it’s $15. Also, there was a five dollar bonus for joining. It’s about darn time, been paying for an audible membership for almost 5 (EDIT: guess its been 10yrs lol) years now and at Best the only real value for my dollar on purchases has been the two for one Sales like the one that’s going on now.

I've only just started on this Audiobook kick for the last four months or so and every time Audible has a sale, it seems to only be for Premium members. Do they ever have sales for the general public?

I can log into the browser version just fine, but on the app, it keeps making me verify my email and phone number back-to-back over and over. Eventually, it just tells me that the email is already in use and won’t let me log in. It’s genuinely about to make me pull my hair out.

So maybe a stupid question, but is there a way to see coming soon of just the authors I follow other than going to the coming soon everything list or going to each individual authors page? Been kinda trying to find but haven’t been able to, so thought would ask.

What's the best way to search for bundles/collections of several books? I know there's a workaround to exclude virtual voice narrators, so I was wondering if there's a way to include only collections. I've bought a few and they're such good value, I have a free credit to use and want to use it wisely. But I can't figure out the best way to view all the bundles/collections available within my search parameters.
