And Aunties sounds fun, I actually think the spoiler bit may help me like it more? Also sad about the last one but I do not blame you a bit! I wasn't really interested in it because I don't love books about music stuff, but glad it wasn't, that guy sounds a MESS hah.

You are the second reviewer who really enjoyed this one. I may have to reconsider. I've heard great things about Aunty. I read the final book and enjoyed it. A "bad" narrator can certainly ruin a book. If you are liking the story, I suggest grab the ebook instead.

LOL It was Burn For Me ...I have no problem sharing. LOL It was Burn For Me by Ilona Andrews. I know so many people who LOVE the series. Maybe I would have too if I'd picked up the Kindle version. But I went with audio it was... awful. Apparently Renee Raudman does the whole series and fans adore her. But it was one of those instant dislike things for me. Most characters had twangy accents. I get that they were in TX but it was a metropolitan area - not Hicksville. But the worst was the grandmother's voice. OMG, I cringed every time. She was only like 60 years old, a very active woman, and yet she was voiced in the very cliche "old lady voice." It reminded me of the little old lady in the Sylvester and Tweety cartoons. LOL I finished the book but decided I was done after that. Definitely wouldn't continue on audio. And when I thought about continuing via Kindle, I just couldn't. The narration made me pretty much hate every character and that was going to carry over to the books. So, goodbye to that whole series!Tanya @ Girl Plus Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18357204133826428572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-79521107140082371502021-06-23T13:11:10.212-04:002021-06-23T13:11:10.212-04:00I had that no first hand knowledge recommendation ...I had that no first hand knowledge recommendation thing happen in the physical sense, recently. I bought a "handmade" sign from a shop three people I interact with on Instagram have been raving about, and it was a piece of crap. After asking them, I found out none of them had purchased from this Etsy shop. They were only basing their recommendations on the shop's photos. 😐<br /><br />I had a hard time with the audiobook I bought of The Martian; the narrator sounded like an announcer from the 50s selling laundry detergent. 😆<br /><br />Read on! 📚La La in the Libraryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18253014225202985934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-4506858855791151682021-06-23T12:35:24.364-04:002021-06-23T12:35:24.364-04:00lol That sounds like me.

I still have it on my TBR but I haven't been rushing to pick it up like I have with some others by CLo. <br /><br />Narration can totally be a DNF factor for me. I once quit a series because I hated the narration So. Much. It soured me on the whole series (the same narrator - who is apparently beloved by the fandom - is used for the whole series) and I won't even read the books on Kindle. I have such a negative connotation with the whole series now. Harsh, I know.
