smallhobbitAt the beginning of March I had 24 audiobooks on my TBL pile and now I have reduced this to 23, but I also have a pre-order which arrives next week, so I'm running fast to stand still :)
My latest listens:
Stormy Weather by P G Wodehouse, part of the Blandings collection read by Stephen Fry. An entertaining tale, featuring the Empress of Blandings and all sorts of typical shenanigans.
A Peaceful Retirement by Miss Read, read by Sian Phillips. The last in the Fairacre series and I was happy the narrator was Sian Phillips again. Perhaps slightly less appealing than earlier books, but I was pleased to have been able to complete the series.
A Deadly Affair by Agatha Christie, read by Hugh Fraser, David Suchet and Joan Hickson. Deadly love stories, featuring Poirot, Miss Marple etc. I'd heard/read a couple before but enjoyed the selection. Ideal for crafting.
The End of the Affair by Graham Greene, read by Michael Kitchen. Not as gripping as some Greene stories I've read, but still with sufficient twists that I had no idea where it was going. Kitchen's voice was slightly bland, but suited Maurice Bendrix, the narrator.
Under the Hammer by John Mortimer, read by Bill Wallis. A collection of stories, set in an art auction house in London, with various dodgy dealings going on. I enjoyed the stories and like Wallis' narration.
And now I notice there's a sale on at Audible... No, I do not need any more titles!
