Audiobooks Recommendations – June 2025

/ Sarah Collins / 3 Comments

Below are my latest Audiobooks recommendations. This list maybe short but some of the books were nearly 30 hours long.

Dakota Krout – His “Cooking with Disaster” series was fun and different. And it appears his “Damsels in Distress” series will be a fun listen.

  • Grilled Armageddon: Cooking with Disaster, Book 1
  • Sewer Skewers: Cooking with Disaster, Book 2
  • Omelet Endgame: Cooking with Disaster, Book 3
  • Thunderplump: An Epic Fantasy LitRPG Adventure (The Completionist Chronicles, Book 11)
  • Thesaurize: The Completionist Chronicles, Book 10
  • Tenacity: The Completionist Chronicles, Book 9
  • Red X Wolf: Damsels of Distress, Book 1

The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires, by: Grady Hendrix: Not my typical book. I only picked it for the title. At times the book went on and on, but the ended made it worth finishing.

David Petrie

  • Revelations: Necrotic Apocalypse, Book 6

Scott Meyer

  • That’s Not Right

Yahtzee Croshaw

  • Will Leave the Galaxy for Good: Jacques McKeown, Book 3

Shirtaloon

  • He Who Fights with Monsters: A LitRPG Adventure: He Who Fights with Monsters, Book 1
  • He Who Fights with Monsters: A LitRPG Adventure: He Who Fights with Monsters, Book 2

Luke Chmilenko

  • Threads of Fate: Ascend Online, Book 5

Dennis E. Taylor: Even though I listened to Book 5 in the Bobiverse series, sorry Dennis it not making my list. I felt the book spent most of the time describing gadgets.

Audiobooks Recommendations – February 2024

/ Sarah Collins / Leave a comment

It been a year since my last Audiobooks recommendations. This list maybe a little short this year, because I did not travel across country. When people ask what I like to listen to while driving, well audiobooks of course. Mainly LitRPG books because they are entertaining enough to keep me awake on my long drives.

Vaudevillian Series by Alex Wolf – Was one of the best I listened to this year.

  • Top Hat Express: A LitRPG Adventure (Vaudevillain, Book 1)
  • Black Tie Villainy: A LitRPG Adventure (Vaudevillain, Book 2)
  • Cane Whirling Lunacy: A LitRPG Adventure (Vaudevillain, Book 3)

The Dragon Mage by Scott Baron – This series was solid. I did not get tired of it after the 6th book which happens sometimes with long series.

  • Bad Luck Charlie
  • Space Pirate Charlie
  • Dragon King Charlie
  • Magic Man Charlie
  • Star Fighter Charlie
  • Portal Thief Charlie
  • Rebel Mage Charlie
  • Warp Speed Charlie
  • Checkmate Charlie
  • Castaway Charlie
  • Wild Card Charlie
  • End Game Charlie

David Petrie

  • Rebirth: Necrotic Apocalypse, Book 5

Dennis E. Taylor

  • Roadkill

Justin Cronin

  • Ferryman: A Novel

Audiobook Recommendation – August 2021

/ Sarah Collins / Leave a comment

My list of recommended books for August 2021 is short than most because I am still not traveling long distances. I have noticed one distinct difference between Audiobook and Paperback books. Paperback books you always know when they are going to end. With Audiobooks, sometimes you get so into a book and when it ends, it comes at a complete surprise. This happened to me on several of these books.

One of the books this happened to me on was Mageblood: Mephisto’s Magic Online, Book 1, by Christopher Johns. I bow my head in shame that it took me over a year to start listening to Mageblood. It was an entertaining book. I have one major problem with it. It was something so unrealistic, I just could not believe the author put something like that in a book. How can the main character make a sandwich with leftover bacon? Leftover bacon does not exist in this world or any world.

Here is the list of my recommendations. They are not in any particular order:

Christopher Johns

  • Mageblood: Mephisto’s Magic Online, Book 1

Scott Meyers

  • Grand Theft Astro

Dakota Krout

  • Something: Full Murderhobo, Book 1
  • Inflame: The Completionist Chronicles, Book 6

Xander Boyce

  • Tallrock: A Fantasy LitRPG Adventure (Farming Livia, Book 1)

Luke Chmilenko

  • Glory to the Brave: Ascend Online, Book 4

Dennis E. Taylor

  • Heaven’s River: Bobiverse, Book 4 – This book was the weakest of all the books. But, I could have just been my issue. I could not get over how an author could end a book series, a big announcement it would be the last book, and then write another book. Note: It did make it on the list.

I borrowed the logo from Mountaindale Press for this post, because most of the books I have listened to in the past eight months have been published by Mountaindale Press. The logo was designed by on of their authors, which is so cool. When I looking for a new book, I look at books published by Mountaindale Press first. Every books I have listened that was published by them has been worth my time.

Audiobook Recommendation – May 2019

/ Sarah Collins / Leave a comment

It has been seven months since I’ve updated my audiobook recommendation list.  Most of the books I have listened to during that time were written by Dakota Krout.  If you like RPG books, you will enjoy these books. So, a shout goes out to Dakota Krout for a job well done, okay six jobs well done.  My only dilemma is where to put them in the list, and which series was better.  I love the Bobiverse series and the Magic 2.0 series.

This list may change, since I am still listening and driving.  Currently, I listing to Scott Meyer’s book “Off To Be a Wizard”.   If the author keeps up the good work, it will make the list.

Ray Porter has become my favorite narrator, thanks to Bobiverse.  Searching for books narrated by Ray Porter is how I found Peter Clines’ books.
