What Audiobooks are you listening to ?

Currently on book 8, of 16, of the Expeditionary Force books by Craig Alanson. I have listened to 10 audiobooks consultatively in this series so before I continue with the remaining 8 I might listen to something else. Saying that I am really enjoying them, easy to listen to, and amusing, sci fi.

Recently finished Book 15, Failure Mode, and am taking another break before tackling #16.

They are good but just a bit samey when you listen to them back-to-back.

I swapped over to The Invasion UK series and have just finished book 3

Whilst it's worth finishing it off it does get pretty formulaic in the second half.
 
Currently on book 3 of the LJ Ross DCI Ryan mysteries. Never really read the original books, but having listened to these audiobooks her attention to detail on all things “local” is pretty good. Feels as if it’s drawn me in more, knowing the places she’s mentioned and having been to a lot of them.

My wife loves LJ's book and, whilst they're perfectly good, I can't help feeling aggrieved that her favourite author churns about 3-4 genuinely good books a year whilst mine (Sanderson) scatters half finished series in his wake like a blind-drunk flower girl at a wedding.

I have not listened to them but I'm tempted to read instead.
I'm kinda flipping between audio and ebooks.
I have been reading, listening to some, books by Cynthia Harrod Eagles her DI Bill Slider series. Most detailed and well written continuing stories.
 
I was making my way through the High Republic books, but am taking a break from them to go through the entire Discworld series! Very enjoyable to relive those books.

Fibber in the Heat

Check out this great listen on Audible.com. Fanatical about cricket since he was a boy, Miles Jupp would do anything to see his heroes play. But perhaps deciding to bluff his way into the press corps during England's Test series in India wasn't his best idea. By claiming to be the cricket...

his voice/style grates and the content, so far, has been quite boring... might even return it :(


Tempted to start another LitRPG series, whilst waiting for more Dungeon Crawl Carl.

Also waiting on the next Bobiverse book.

I like Expeditionary Force and will always listen to them but they are a little samey

Just finished Mount Fitzroy - Scott Sigler's 2nd book after Earthcore - If you like the above, you'll probably like these. He has a trilogy of the Infected series and another couple of books I haven't listened to whose characters get referenced in Mount Fitzroy.

I'm a bit stuck on what to listen to next. Actually, I'll start Book 2 of Final Architecture.

Children of Time books are excellent btw.

Started Book 13 of Expeditionary Force last night, the 15th Expeditionary Force audiobook on the trot (there were 2 x.5 books), and whilst I do agree they are a little samey, they are very enjoyable. As much as Skippy can be annoying, the character has grown on my over the series.

Once I've finished this series, new book out on my birthday, I am not sure what to listen to. I recently bought Under the Breaking Sky complete edition, 59 hours so half a Stephen King book, I still have the 2nd and 3rd Children of Time books to listen to, I like the sound of the Bobiverse books. I may need a hard sci fi book after I've finished all of the EF books though.
 
Currently listening to Stephen King's 11/22/63. Think I am about 6 or 7 hours into it and so far its a good listen, I only listen on the commute to work which is now only twice a week, so takes me a while to finish a book.

Pre-covid when I was in the office everyday i was listening to Game of Thrones and think I got half way through book 3. Would love to carry on listening but feel I may have forgotten most of it. Maybe one day I will get back to it

I really like this one. Some people can't get on with Jason being a bit self righteous. But that's kinda his thing. Book 11 just released too. About 3 hours into it.

ELLC and Chrysalis are also Jeff Hays narrated books like DCC. Jeff is an absolute master of narration.
 
Listening to the Dresden Files Audiobooks, already read them all but I've got to admit James Marsters narration puts them over the top, figure if I start now I'd be about done with book 17 by about the time there's some news about the next one.
 
I've been listening to quite a bit recently

There is a good following for this. You follow initially ground pounders, then they get involved in politics, bounty hunters, revenge. The scope keeps getting larger on a galactic stage and its impressive to keep it all interlinked. Especially when looking at micro level events, zooming out to macro then zooming back in to something else.
Narrated by RC Bray again.
The scope seems bigger than Expeditionary Force, it's now on season 3 of books with no sign of stopping
