Audio Book New Releases | While I’m Falling by Laura Moriarty and More!

by on November 4, 2009

I always look forward to seeing what new titles are out there each week, don’t you?

I’m ready to add to my list of books to read as the weather gets colder, so let’s see what’s new in audiobooks this week.

While I’m Falling by Laura Moriarty

While I’m Falling by Laura Moriarty (read by Julia Gibson). If character based drama is your thing, this one sounds pretty good.

Veronica Von Holten’s happy life as a college student is disrupted by her parents’ marital issues. Divorce, car accident, and other struggles ensue. I’m keeping this on my ‘maybe’ list.

Mr Darcy, Vampyre by Amanda Grange

While I’m Falling by Laura Moriarty AudiobookMr. Darcy, Vampyre by Amanda Grange (narrated by Elizabeth Jasciki). So far I’ve seen Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, Sense and Sensibility and sea-monsters, and now Mr. Darcy, Vampyre?

I can see the logic of hoping that these horror elements lead curious readers back to the original classics, but I wonder if it works.

My son has the zombie one, but has yet to read it. I think he just likes the cover. Mr. Darcy, Vampyre, picks up at the end of Pride and Prejudice and adds a family curse. Intriguing…

The Copper Bracelet by 16 bestselling thriller writers

The Copper Bracelet by 16 bestselling thriller writers (read by Alfred Molina). This sequel to The Chopin Manuscript finds a former war crimes investigator working against a secret conspiracy.

This audiobook is featured at a special price until November 24 on Audible.com. Included authors are: Jeffrey Deaver, Gayle Lynds, David Hewson, Jim Fusilli, John Gilstrap, Joseph Finder, Lisa Scottoline, David Corbett, Linda Barnes, Jenny Siler, David Liss, P.J. Parrish, Brett Battles, Lee Child, Jon Land, and James Phelan.

Ford County: Stories by John Grisham

Ford County: Stories written and narrated by John Grisham. This collection of longish short stories (around 40 pages each) is comprised of seven of Grisham’s formerly unused plot ideas. An interesting idea, but you know how I am with short stories…

The Lacuna by Barbara Kingsolver

The Lacuna written and narrated by Barbara Kingsolver. The main character, Harrison Shepherd, was born in the US and raised in Mexico. Torn between the Mexico of Frida Kahlo and the US of J. Edgar Hoover, Shepherd finds his loyalties torn between two nations. I loved Kingsolver’s The Poisonwood Bible, so this is another ‘maybe’ for me.

The Humbling by Philip Roth

The Humbling by Philip Roth (read by Dick Hill). Roth always delivers amazing works. Acting legend Simon Axler suddenly finds himself unable to act, an issue that eats away at his marriage and lands in a mental institution. His life intersects with two interesting women during and after his hospitalization, leading him to places he would never expect.

Is it too late to add this to my Christmas list?

Reading and writing are my passions. I read a lot of paper books as well as listen to audiobooks utilizing playaways from the local library. I listen to most of my audiobooks on my iPod. I read about one book/week and am rarely seen without one in hand. Come along and discuss this article in our friendly community forum.
