I’m in audiobook heaven, literally!

Okay, my job is mundane but I still need to maintain focus and accuracy, so I usually listen to Adam Carolla and Chuck Powell’s Morning Ritual then some talk radio that gets my blood pressure to high, and I start spacing out. (Not a hard thing for me if you know me, lol!)  Anyways, I really love the Dresden Files that Sci-fi chose not to renew, bastards put Flash Gordon instead, whatever! So I decided to get the audiobooks that the show was based on and give them a listen since I really loved the show and the only audiobook experience I had was the Harry Potter books which kept me riveted to my seat in anticipation and focused on what I was keying at work. Well I wasn’t let down in the least, Jim Butcher, the author of Dresden Files is awesome which I already knew but even better, James Marsters aka Spike of Buffy the Vampire fame was the narrator! I must say he does a great job reading, but I still prefer Paul Blackthorne, he’s my one and only Harry Dresden!

Anyways, you’re probably wondering when I’m going to get to the point, right? Well I’m in audiobook heaven because I discovered a whole new genre of books, and I get them for FREE! That’s right for FREE, I just got myself a card to my local library and wala, free audiobooks! Granted they don’t have everything, but it’s better than buying them or renting them.

  1. Just another option to check out that I thought I’d share…
    I use this online audiobook rental & download service. They offer downloads which can be more convenient and they definitely have a broader selection than what I’ve been able to get at the library.

    I mostly use the rental service so I can play the CDs in my car (makes commutes significantly less painful). It’s like Netflix (which I’m also hooked on) but with audiobooks. Pay monthly and get unlimited audiobooks in the mail. The turn around is usually fast and the customer service has been very kind when I accidentally lost one. You can request a book they don’t have and they’ll get it for you for either the download or physcial CD.
