Destiny, Mystical, Serenity and all those other chicks....I immediately think "lady of negotiable affection."

It's hit or miss with me. An audiobook is only as good as the person reading it. It's vital that the reader STILL be a storyteller. Jim Dale reading the Harry Potter books is amazing (and very expensive). Neil (himself) reading The Graveyard Book and Stardust is a major win. Dixie Carter's slow southern drawl reading Scarlett will stay with me forever, as will Fannie Flagg reading Daisy Fay and the Miracle Man. It just depends on the reading. Find someone that you WANT to hear speak.

I've listened through several bad book readings and I would have to really have a think as to which books those were because the audiobook really didn't make them memorable.

As with anything....why don't you run it by ME first before you buy something and I'll tell you whether or not you should. The world should work this way.

I love this post. My coffee loves this post. We read it together and we both agreed it was fabulous.

OMG! Now you are hooked. Lisa's Wallflowers are amazing and ooooooh so funny. This is my favorite though because Sebastian is just about the best romance hero/villain there is. And she does write some excellent naughty bits!

If you're loving this kind of funny historical romance, I have a slew of them to recommend.

Dear Donna,

You should just go ahead and delete that poor unloved eCopy of Dreaming Anastasia. You are never going to read it.

Sincerely,
The Truth.

I wouldn't worry about this, or anything like it. I wouldn't worry about this until the problem SHOWS UP at your front door. AND THEN, you must pretend that you don't speak English. Make sure you HUG the representative, repeatedly (strangers like that). Sneeze on him/her. Arrange to have something small and fuzzy crawl out of your hair. Stroke something as you ramble nonsensically in your made up language (the door, the door frame, any decorative support columns, the person). If they try to present you with papers, assume it is a gift and give them one in return (a handful of cold cooked linguini, a used coffee filter, wet cotton balls). Become overly excited by the magic moving metal machine they arrived in. Go over and lick it. Offer your guest a drink of hose water from your shoe.

This may or may not help you in your legal situation, but I want you to do it anyway, should the opportunity ever arise, and then immediately call me.

You are only hurting yourself. When you die, and get to the pearly gates, and it is asked of you: 1) Did you read everything ever written by Neil Gaiman? 2) And did you watch, love and subsequently fall in love with Richard Armitage in North and South? You will have to answer "No."

AND YOU WILL BURN IN HELL.

We're totally going to write a really, really, REALLY bad book. I will send you an outline. I'll write most of it in mustard and you can use the condiment of your choice to make additions.

We are SUPPOSE TO LIKE THIS ONE. Didn't you get the memo? This one has been hand picked for us by the YA gods and for that reason alone we are suppose to love it and sing its praises. It is the next "IT" book, so it is.

I have some idiotic like, eight year old ramblings, written in colored pencil with scribble marks in the margin, FROM WAY BACK WHEN.....do you think I could get it published?
