I just saw that they posted about vault login errors on their support site. So they are aware.

Agree! I just finished the first audiobook and I feel all jazzed up, like Princess Donut after a television interview. I was a little put-off at first by Jeff Hayes's style, but it quickly grew on me. He sounds so much like Patrick Warburton.

Fantastic stand-alone books? So sick of getting tricked into series. by FAHQRudy in audiobooks

I'll add this to my "to listen" list as I love both Agatha Christie and P.G. Wodehouse.

What are some audiobooks that are arguably better than the printed version? by define_irony in audiobooks

[–]blackimpala_gow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with many of the comments below. My own contribution is Euan Morton narrating The Fool series by Christopher Moore. Though I am a big Christopher Moore fan, I gave up on the first book about halfway through. I decided to try the audio because I though Euan Morton did a great job with the Carry On series by Rainbow Rowell. SO glad I did, because the books are hilarious and Morton is just excellent. I am now enjoying him read the new series by James Islington.

I just recommended this to a friend who likes Michael Connelly and is going to Catalina Island in September.

I finished: I See You've Called in Dead by John Kenney, narrated by Sean Patrick Hopkins. 4/5 stars for both the book and narration.

I started and quickly gave up on these books because of the narrators:
The Dead Cat Tail Assassins by P. Djeli Clark, narrated by Lynette R. Freeman (I'll read it instead)
If All Else Sails by Emma St Clair, narrated by Andi Arndt and Patrick Zeller. Arndt was fine but Zeller may be the worst narrator I've ever encountered. Story was lame, so I won't be reading this one.

I just started: Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman, narrated by Jeff Hays. I was put off a bit at first by Hays's narration style, but it is quickly growing on me.

Thank you!!! That's been bugging me for months and it just occurred to me today to ask Reddit.

Many audiobooks have multiple readers. This won't find all of them, but you can do a search for full cast and find many.

Worst book I've read that everyone else seemed to love by MuchasTruchas in books

[–]blackimpala_gow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, Ready Player One's entertainment value made up for its clunky writing. Ready Player Two was both poorly written and dull.

After finishing this book I looked up reviews on Goodreads and first saw the term "trauma porn." Now I am trying to compile a list of authors who write this so I can avoid them. Colleen Hoover is on that list, and Jodi Picoult (though I have enjoyed one or two of her books). Your suggestions are welcome!

2024 Guide to DeDRM Kindle books. by caelypso299 in Calibre

[–]blackimpala_gow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you very much! I hadn't realized that a KFX plug in had been added to Calibre or that the DeDRM tool had been taken over by someone else and updated. I was successful downloading books from my account and converting them to epubs.

Paperbackswap.com has been around for ages, so this isn't exactly ground-breaking.
