2103 Audiobook Challenge


Audiobook Challenge



Grab the button!



Back in 2008, after reading the series Twilight and in my efforts to fuel my addiction I discovered the pleasure of a well narrated audio book; I've never looked back since.
Since then, I no longer have to be away from my favorite books and characters, because now they come along with me for a ride, grocery  shopping, while I’m cooking or doing all my house chores, and let me tell you, my house has never looked cleaner.
So when Jennifer at The Book Nympho asked me if wanted to co-host this challenge, I was more than thrilled to accept.
There has never been a better time to discover the magic of audio books than now.  The selection in every genre is almost as good as the printed ones, and it keeps getting better and better.
Come and join us!

Here are some of my favorite series on audio, these are sure to turn you into and an audio book  junkie like yours truly.

Outlander by Diana Gabaldon - Narrated by Davina Porter - Historical Fiction/Paranormal 
Black Dagger Brotherhood by JR Ward - Narrated by Jim Frangione - P/R
Fever Series  by KMM - Narrated by  Joyce Bean, Natale Ross and Phil Gigante - UF 
Morganville Vampires by Rachel Caine - Narrated by Cynthia Holloway - YA Paranormal 
Chicago Stars by SEP - Narrated by Anna Fields - Contemporary Romance
Highland  Pleasures by Jennifer Ashley - Narrated by Angela Dawe - Historical Romance
Black Jewels by Ann Bishop - Narrated by John Sharian - Dark Fantasy
Charley Davidson Series by Darynda Jones - Narrated by Lorelei King - UF
IAD by Kresley Cole - Narrated by Robert Petkoff - PR/Urban Fantasy 
The Hathaways by Lisa Kleypas - Narrated by Rosalyn Landor 
 

I also love every series posted by co-host at The Book Nympho
(except for Elemental Assassin - I'm planing to listen to that as part of my challenge)
