I'm still loving the audiobook of David Copperfield, narrated by Richard Armitage. (He's sooooo good.) Just passed the 30% of the way through point, after starting on April 6th. So expecting that to be ongoing well into June. I'm still listening to other, shorter, ones too. Just finished Adrian Tchaikovsky's new one Children of Strife, which was great. #books #Audiobooks

I know this is common knowledge, particularly for blind users, but I’m obsessed with ElevenLabs. The human-sounding voices are incredible; they've made listening to ebooks an amazing experience. Now I barely need other apps for ebooks, #Audiobooks are still my main choice, but when an audiobook is not available, or if I don't like the narrator's voice, then I always use Eleven Reader as an option. It means now I can read more and more with even a bigger pleasure. #Accessibility #Blind #Books #Bookstodon #Technology #AI

Hey #indieAuthor people, anyone have a passionate opinion about free vs purchased ISBNs for #audiobooks ? It seems like there are a lot fewer platforms to distribute on, vs the whole Amazon vs IngramSpark issue for paperbacks, so the argument of being able to use the same number across platforms is less vital?

Embracing the Shadows: The Best Dark Romance Audiobooks Any romance reader can tell you that “romance” is too broad of a term to accurately describe their reading habits. Just like IRL romance can’t be cleanly defined, stories about love and sensuality can’t be constrained. For every relationship dynamic, kink, and fantasy, there’s most likely a subgenre exploring it. But of all those subgenres—romantasy, […] The post Embracing the Shadows: The Best Dark Romance Audiobooks appeared first on Libro.fm Audiobooks. https://blog.libro.fm/dark-romance-audiobooks/ #Audiobooks #audiobookrecommendations #audiobooks #darkromance #librofm

Beyond the Ice: The Best Audiobooks for Fans of Heated Rivalry Newcomers to the Heated Rivalry universe might not realize that the book series it’s based on (Game Changers by Rachel Reid) is just one in a plethora of hockey romances—or that hockey romance itself is a subsection of the massive genre that is sports romance.

Your Most Sustainable Read: Digital vs. Print When we think about carbon footprints, reading habits don’t immediately come to mind. There are many pastimes and hobbies that have a larger environmental impact, but that doesn’t mean the impact can’t be reduced. The printing process emits millions of metric tons of CO2 a year, and a depressingly large amount of those books end up […] The post Your Most Sustainable Read: Digital vs. Print appeared first on Libro.fm Audiobooks. https://blog.libro.fm/digital-books-and-sustainability/ #Audiobooks

I‘m a little under the weather, but I have tongo to work (two classes have tests next week, I can’t skip the last lesson before that). Lots of coworkers sick at home, so quite a load extra this week. And my voice is already on the brink… But, in other/better news: The run was ok, the audiobook was great, I started this run with OLD MAN‘S WAR by John Scalzi. Always a pleasure, and it’s my first run-through in English. Yeah! #Running #applewatchultra3 #audiobooks #JohnScalzi
