Posted on 2015-01-17 at 06:12 by Sam
Three thousand two hundred sixty-seven. That's how many science fiction and fantasy audiobooks were added to Audible.com's US listings alone in 2014, and the larger number of new speculative fiction audiobooks -- which include GraphicAudio, independent (for example The Maze of Games and Eric Flint's "Islands"), and other titles not available at Audible (for example Cory Doctorow's Homeland and Information Doesn't Want to Be Free), physical-only releases, podiobooks, and English-language audiobooks released

Top 25 most-anticipated books of June 2014
Posted on 2014-06-05 at 18:40 by Sam
Everyone has their own lists, but here’s ours: what we're most looking forward to this month, in chronological order of release, with audiobook information if we know about it. (I tried holding the list to 10 as I managed for last month's preview, but after a second pass cutting as much as I was close to happy with, I was still in the 30s. Trimming further to 25 was hard enough!)

Listening Report: May 2012
Posted on 2012-07-04 at 00:04 by Sam
April’s claim of 9 audiobooks was a bit of a “cheat”; I included the late Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 although I had actually read it in (very) early May. Here, things were going to again a bit stretched as it took a few days into June to finish the audiobook which took up most of my late May as well (Kim Stanley Robinson’s 2312) but hey, again, it’s my blog, I include what I want, when I want, right? So. Six audiobooks in May, several outstanding including J.M. McDermott’s Last Dragon, Lavie Tidhar’s Osa

Release Week: Last Dragon by J.M. McDermott, Enchanted by Alethea Kontis, and more
Posted on 2012-05-09 at 14:51 by Sam
Release week for Tuesday, May 8, 2012: My top pick this “week” is Last Dragon by J.M. McDermott, read by Cori Samuel for Iambik Audiobooks. This is a bit of a cheat job, as the audiobook was actually released in audio in late April, but I missed its arrival then so I will trumpet it loud and clear now: this is the next book I’m listening to. (See that “currently listening to” sidebar? Yeah, that.) Originally published as the first novel in Wizards of the Coast’s Discoveries series in 2008, and re-issued in
