Audio Books & Novels

So far I love the app. The stories may be older but there are so many to choose from that I bet you have plenty new-to-you to choose from. Only thing I wish the app had is a way to set a bookmark and/or a sleep timer. I listen in bed and fall asleep only to awaken the next morning to a finished book. Not boring, just a sleepy listener! 🤪. Then I rewind but really have no idea when I fell asleep so I end up listening over and over.

I was excited to find works by one of my favorite authors, George MacDonald. I was even treated to a reading of my favorite story, ‘The Golden Key’, which has changed meaning many times since I first read it as a child. I suppose if you’re only a fan of whatever is being spoon-fed to the masses on the best seller list, you’ll be disappointed by the selection of classics. I challenge you to read something different for a change. Inspire yourself by exploring the works of the authors that inspired some of the world’s greatest authors. Open your mind and you won’t be disappointed!

This app is okay, there are great books.. although, some narrators are not so good.. some take time to grow on you. While many switch up readers and it’s back and forth between amazing readers and sucky readers. It’s annoying. This app definitely needs improvement, 1. Downloads take forever. 2. If you loose signal, the app crashes (even when the book has been downloaded) so pushing play several times is needed. Also, when you gain signal back.. the app crashes. So annoying. 3. Books I add to my wishlist DISAPPEAR. Also, once A book as been played and finished it should be added to a finished section and removed from the currently listening to books.

I have an hour commute via car 3 days per week to work. I find listening to audio books makes the time FLY! And, I look forward to getting in the car to listen! What I hated was when I forgot to go to the library for a new book on cd! Or the minor disturbance of having to change disks in traffic!! Of course I’m too cheap to purchase audio books😊. So I found this app. And a new love for classic novels. I started with The Haunted Bookshop by Morley. Wonderful!!

I have too many irons in the fire to pick up a book these days so, I thought I would try audio books at the suggestion of a friend. Audibles app only let me listen to what I had selected from the web, boo. Another one said free books but only presented me with a few and the rest were premium selections. This one was the jack pot! I found my favorite author and several others and they have all been well narrated. Thank you so much!
