Ben! (Boo!)<p>Listened to the the beginning of The Girl Next Door by Jack Ketchum, which is pleasant enough and feels very real and lived in but I know by reputation it gets A LOT more fucked up. I picked up the audiobook a couple months ago and have put off listening to it, but no longer.</p><p><a href="https://mas.to/tags/horror" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>horror</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/splatter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>splatter</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bookstodon</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/audiobooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>audiobooks</span></a></p>

However, I've read audiobooks almost entirely for about 15 years. I made the transition while living in Vietnam where the selection of English paper books was limited. I still lose the train of thought from time to time but I rewind and get going again. <br><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/AmReading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AmReading</span></a> <br><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/audiobooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>audiobooks</span></a></p>
Angela Korra'ti<p>Oh _good_ I just got invited by Amazon to make audiobooks of my books using virtual narrators. </p><p>This is what I told them in reply. Quote:</p><p>I am three thousand percent NOT INTERESTED in this.</p><p>For a few reasons:</p><p>1) If I want an audiobook of any of my work, I would very much prefer to pay an actual live narrator for it. I write fantasy. My work involves multiple situations where different accents would be called for, and multiple unusual names and translated terms. I would _not_ trust a virtual/AI narrator to get any of that right.</p><p>2) I do _not_ have the time to slog through the output of any virtual/AI engine to make sure it actually sounds decent. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.murkworks.net/tags/Amazon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Amazon</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.murkworks.net/tags/KDP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KDP</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.murkworks.net/tags/audiobooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>audiobooks</span></a></p>

Good morning! Wishing you all a beautiful day filled with only good things, high energy and positivity! I’ll get towels washed today and sacrifice the closing of a fitness ring or two to sit down and read. Right now, I’m drinking my decaf coffee and enjoying it while listening to the last little bit of Resonance Surge by Nalini Singh. I’ll start Primal Mirror on Friday when hubs returns to work.

Be kind to yourself and those around you, hug tight those you love most and smile, you are loved and appreciated! 🤗🫶❤️🫂 #GoodMorning #Positivity #AudioBooks #Braille

@stevendbrewer I got so much out of the Moby Dick #audiobook.

As much as I enjoyed every page, let's face it, it's a slog. But the actor reading was amazing, lots of emotion and character voices. I took it on a bunch of long car trips: huge fun. And the archaic style and pacing, all the nautical jargon and dialect, the audio was a HUGE help.

I love to read in bed at the end of the day and I wore headphones and read along. God I enjoyed it so much. #Audiobooks count!

#writephant #selfpromo The three of my books that are with a publisher (47North) have audiobook versions.

The amazing Mary Robinette Kowal, narrator extraordinaire, did the audiobooks for The Far Time Incident and its sequel!

And my standalone, Regarding Ducks and Universes, is narrated by wonderful Alexander Cendese!
