We fight to the DEATH....just kidding...Tune in to find out which book gets the K.O and which one will survive on the shelf! Let us know what Audible Originals you've listened to lately and if we should have them fight in future rounds of Audible vs Audible! --This is the audio from our latest YouTube, if you want to see us in action SUBSCRIBE to our BookTube!

Audiobooks to last you through quarantine

Social distancing with audiobooks!
We read an article from Yahoo called "10 celebrity narrated audiobooks to listen to while quarantined" and we started thinking "huh, you know who sometimes SUCKS at narrating books and the only reason their audiobooks do well is because they have a pre-existing fan base and have the publicity to push their crap harder than anyone else? CELEBRITIES". So we decided to pick out some audiobooks narrated by career narrators that are awesome reads to get you through these social distancing times. We also have a pile of honorable mentions that...may have a subtle message to take care of yourself. Let us know what you are reading while in quarantine, and WASH YOUR DAMN HANDS, PLEASE! --This is the audio from our latest BookTube. If you want to see us in action SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube!

We have a questions for young adult fantasy authors...what pulls some of you to the adult fantasy world? In today's latest discussion we are talking about authors who started out in the YA world and then ventured into the adult scene, why they may do this, and what authors we could see dabbling in adult fantasy next. Let us know in the comments below what YA fantasy authors YOU could see releasing the next great adult fantasy! Also, the ice cream we are eating is Nightfood. We were given a promotional giftcard to get 2 free pints in exchange for a review and promotion. While we loved the flavors and abundance of chocolatey chips, our stomachs revolted against us a little later. We think it's because of the sugar content and we aren't sure if others had the same issue. We'd recommend for those that have strong tummies, though! --This is the audio from our latest BookTube.

The Whisper Man

by Alex North
Narrated by Christopher Eccleston
Our parents taught us that if we don't have anything nice to say.....leave a review. So that's what we are doing today for the AUDIOBOOK version of The Whisper Man by Alex North. A drab narration, an okay story, and just bleh characterizations makes this our least favorite audiobook of 2020. But you know we have more to say than that! Be sure to tune in to find out what else goes down in today's review! -This is the audio from our latest BookTube. If you want to see us in action SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube!

Will we EVER read these books?!

Our Forever TBR
We've been building our Forever TBR list since we were in elementary school. Books we've seen in movies, books our favorite teachers recommended, books Brad never got to read because he went to Catholic school until 8th grade. Our list has been STACKED for a long time. So long, in fact, we are doubtful we'll ever read any of this list because these non-read novels have become such a staple in our lives! What's on YOUR Forever TBR? Do you think you'll ever get around to them? -- This is the audio of our latest BookTube. If you want to see us in action SUBSCRIBE to our Youtube!
