I loved LIFE, too. It was surprisingly educational, about pop-culture history and post-war England in particular. I promise I'm not too biased by working at Hachette. I'm also looking forward to listening to the new Rob Lowe from MacMillan…
This reminds me - I have a copy of David Nasaw's audiobook biography of Andrew Carnegie waiting at home for me. It's not a favorite - yet - but I think might make some good listening on this summer's vacation. I can listen with my…
This event was so much fun! I love how a seemingly random assortment of authors always gels into such an interesting and dynamic conversation! Can't wait for next year.
PS Can't believe Brad advocates listening while doing…
What a wonderful deal! I've never listened to an LA Theatre Works full cast audiobook, so I'm excited for my first. I imagine it's a fairly different experience than my usual listen.

Agreed! The Book Bloggers, Publishers, Authors, and Narrators are bringing such wonderful different perspectives to this JIAM! I'm learning a lot, and they're such fun discussions.
I am a huge fan of YA, and I am an adult! I'd recommend the Beautiful Creatures series for adults who are Twilight fans. I also loved the intense and moving 13 Reasons Why, and I know many others, like http://www.alisonsbookmarks.com/ also…
I loved this one! That little boy has such personality. Although, even when you really really need to get to the end of a book, you should say "please."
I'm admittedly biased since I work for Hachette Audio, but I loved David's audiobooks long before I started here! I just wanted to poke in on this conversation and point fans to our new website - there's a really cute video with…
I, too, love David Sedaris. He's definitely my favorite for this category. (I'm also really looking forward to his sister Amy's new audiobook, which our production team is working on right now. Both of them can be so funny and weird…
