New Audio Book Releases | UR by Stephen King, Big Girl by Danielle Steel.

by on February 25, 2010

There are so many wonderful audio books out there. How do you decide what to read next? There’s something for everyone this week: horror, mystery, literary fiction… So, what will you read next?

UR by Stephen King, narrated by Holter Graham. Just when I was warming up to the idea of a Kindle or nook, Stephen King had to go and write about an eBook reader that opens a disturbing window into other worlds.

When an avid reader finally tries to embrace technology by buying an eReader, he acquires the ability to see other realities. I have to read it, obviously… on audio book.

Fantasy in Death by JD Robb, read by Susan Ericksen. NYPSD Lieutenant Eve Dallas faces her most puzzling case. The founder of a computer-gaming company is found dead in a locked room – decapitated. I haven’t read any of the “In Death” series of books. Should I?

Big Girl by Danielle Steel, narrated by Kathleen McInerney. It was inevitable. Romance writer Danielle Steel has finally embraced a character who isn’t perfect. Unconventional beauty, body image, and family are all issues that are experienced by real women. Of course, this being Danielle Steel, I’d wager that a happy ending is in store for readers. I went through a period of reading her books in high school. That was before I figured out that they were all basically the same.

Black Magic Sanction (Rachel Morgan Series #8) by Kim Harrison read by Marguerite Gavin. Rachel Morgan is a witch-born demon bounty hunter of supernatural creatures: vampires, werewolves, demons, and banshees. Now she must deal with being shunned for dealing with demons and black magic. I haven’t read these fantasy thrillers, but they actually sound quite good.

The Infinities by John Banville, read by Julian Rhind-Tutt. Booker Prize winning author Banville presents the story of a renowned mathematician, on his deathbed. Gathered at his deathbed are his family… and some mischievous gods. Now this sounds like its right up my alley. It reminds me of Gods Behaving Badly by Marie Phillips (narrated by Rosalyn Landor), which I absolutely LOVED.

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.
