Welcome to Litsy!

As in my previous post, I‘m participating in #ArmchairAudies in Fantasy category. All these finalist titles are very promising. And almost all of them are the first of a series, an independent prequel or a standalone. Only one exception is Snake Eyes but I‘m willing to read book 1-10 to get there. (I‘m on book 3 right now.)

P.S. Oh, I‘ll try not to be biased even with my fav author Cat Valente on the list.
P.S.S. Anyone wants to join? 🙋🏽‍♀️

Around this time of the year, the #ArmchairAudies is usually held by @LitHousewife to listen to Audie Award finalists and predict the official result. Sadly, this year she isn‘t able to run it. (I hope you‘re well, Jennifer. *virtual hugs sent*) But Miss Dee and Miss Susie (no Litsy account) are helping out this time. 👏🏽

I‘m participating in Fantasy category. If anyone is interested, please don‘t hesitate to reach out! 😉

This book was interesting and entertaining for long afternoons spent doing laundry. It‘s full of the kinds of gossip and snark that you would expect. Bette moved a former husband‘s body to make room for her dog. Joan was in bed with the flu and a bottle of vodka. This was my first listen for the #armchairaudies. It most likely won‘t be my pick- I tend to go for the serious ones. However this was highly entertaining and I recommend it.

This was my pick for best nonfiction #audiobook of the year when I judged the 2017 #armchairaudies. I paid full price for, and it was so worth every penny, but you can get it for $2.95! #audible #dailydeal

This smiley audiobook is mocking me. For the first time since my audiobook conversion, I'm in an audiobook slump. Nothing is working for me. New narrator, trusted narrator, or even my favorite genres are coming up dry. I've suffered through many print reading slumps, so I know this will pass. That being said, audiobooks are my traveling companions and this feels unnatural.

I plan on not forcing the issue. I'll listen to music, etc. Still, BOO!

Now that I've finished my #ArmchairAudies listens, I can catch up on the audiobooks I've had my eyes on since February. First up, a book with the name of the city where I work in the title. It's not a direct reference, but fun nevertheless.

Y'all this book is like awesome. I'm all you should check it out and listen to it. He's like talking about how language changes over time. No really.

All of the above are changes he noted in the way we talk. That's just the last chapter. And based off (another change) my recommendation, you should head to #audible and buy it.

Last of the #ArmchairAudies in #nonfiction. I hope to have all my blog posts up by the 1st. #nonfictionchallenge17

Spent my shower listening to the last book in my #nonfiction #ArmchairAudies category. I'm really enjoying this one. I'm going to have to listen to a chapter of Evicted to compare the two. Both are very different and have EXCELLENT narration! 🤔🤔😃 #springcleaningreadathon

🎧 Full review of 'Doctor Who: The War Doctor: Only the Monstrous' (written & directed by Nicholas Briggs; performed by a Full Cast starring John Hurt) at my blog:

And that's a wrap for #ArmchairAudies reviews in the #AudioDrama category! Next month I'll be posting my picks for winners in each of the 3 cats I judged this yr! 😉

5⭐️ This book is the bomb.com.org.edu. It's good as ffffffff. Audio is so the way to go with this one. She adds so much fun stuff to the text. The only reason not to listen to this book is if you don't want your thoughts in Phoebe's awesome voice for the rest of the day or don't find millennial speak funny. We finally have a winner in the #ArmchairAudies #humor! Check back for a longer blog post soon.
