Very exciting, sorry I’m so late to this news. I’m a big fan of BorrowBox, and also the War of the Worlds album. The audiobook that stands out for me is the Jasper Fforde novel, Early Riser - sadly I forget the narrator’s name, Thomas something perhaps. He gave it an extra layer of excellence in his reading, anyway.
I'm the same, actually, Claudia, and I don't listen to audiobooks very often, but when I do it's always a pleasure. My agent tells me that the market for audiobooks is really strong nowadays - perhaps because people have more time for stories when they're driving/commuting. Thank you for stopping by
Very much looking forward to the audiobook of SHADOW OF THE WOLF! Thanks for the other audiobook recs too! You need to check out the audiobook of HALF A KING by Joe Abercrombie. The narrator is just so incredibly good...
Great tip, Faenon, I'll take a listen. I haven't read any Joe Abercrombie in some time so that's my way back in. Good narration is such a fine art and so impressive when it's done well. Cheers for being here
First, congrats on the audiobook announcement! That's got to be exciting!
Second -- thanks for the unexpected shout-out! Yes, that post has gotten a lot of good response. It's funny -- it's the posts that you're not so sure about when you send them into the world that seem to get some of the best reactions... lol Glad you (along with many others) got something from it.
I also wanted to say, "Sisters Brothers" is one of my all-time favourite books, and it won the Giller Prize here in Canada. If you get a chance to see the movie with Joaquin Phoenix and John C. Reilly, it's very well done. One of those gems of movies that somehow slipped through the cracks.
Sister's Brothers is one of those books you can confidently recommend to anyone and it never let's you down! I haven't seen the movie - I'll make sure to soon. I'm glad your last article is being well read; it gets to the heart of what this storytelling business is all about
"Sisters Brothers" streams on Netflix in Canada every once in a while, but I'm not sure about other countries. Amazon Prime may have had it at one point, too. Either way, it is one of those movies that tends to come and go quickly rather than hang out for a while.

Thanks, Jacqueline. I'd like to listen to more audiobooks - and Early Riser might be the place to start!
I prefer to read but know plenty of people who prefer audiobooks. Also, the idea of dim lights, headphones and atmospheric listening sounds great. 👏

I have a hard time focusing on purely audio information. But I know that fiction podcasts are huge. Do you know Limetown?
Ooh, fiction podcasts, I've not delved into that world at all. What is Limetown?
These guys made radio fiction cool again: https://twoupproductions.com
Sounds amazing, thank you - I'll take a listen
I love them. Had to listen to everything several times to keep up but it was worth it! ;)

Great news, Tim.
Many thanks, Eve
Congratulations! A milestones for a writer, for sure!
Thanks, Donna. Yes, a milestone indeed and a welcome morale boost as I get stuck into my next project!
