Ah yes. I was thinking The Widow was historical. I too still have Shadows at Sunset, The Widow, and Winter’s Edge in tape cassette format.

Thanks, I have the abridged contemporaries and I knew I remembered some discussion about Susan Erickson getting into the Historical arena for the first time with Ruthless and then Reckless from The House of Rohan series.

Eva Ibbotson’s A SECRET COUNTESS is fabulous as well. She was a wonderful writer.
(And I have abridged contemporaries, not historicals. As far as I know those are Ericksen’s first historicals).

This wouldn’t qualify for a non-romance challenge, but a new to me author and audio narrator was Eva Ibbotson’s A Company of Swans by Patricia Conolly. I listened on the commute to and from work this week and so loved it. Since I wasn’t quite finished, I brought the last few CDs into the house. What a great command of the accents. It was a great.

And I just noticed – our number of members at our Goodreads group has jumped from 210 on Monday to 219 today! Lots of good in-between-column discussion going on over there!

And I meant to add the link for the Hard-to-Find thread over at Goodreads.

Another hard-to-find makes it to digital!

Nora Roberts’ Carnal Innocence narrated by Tom Stechschulte.

Brenda and I have raved about this narration before. The book is dated but fine entertainment nonetheless.

Over at our Speaking of Audiobooks Goodreads group, I just started a thread about hard-to-finds. We plan to start listing the hard-to-finds as we discover their digital release. To start with, we’re listing the numerous recent releases of these oldies we’ve seen in the past month.

And if you want to share here, I’ll add yours to the list and will then share a complete update with each column.

Thanks for the heads-up Michelle! Seems like this group has many ardent Linda Howard fans and we didn’t see these on our March Releases list a month ago. Please let us know what you think!

Hey – I just wanted to give a heads up on three releases of Linda Howard classics in the Unabridged format! They actually came out the end of March – but I for one was absolutely delighted. I can’t stand abridged versions of books because it chops up the story details and some of the more subtle nuances are always left out. Audible has released Mr. Perfect, Now You See Her and Open Season in the full unabridged format. I couldn’t buy them fast enough – still holding out hope that they will release All The Queen’s Men as well. Anyway – just wanted to give a heads up to all the Linda Howard fans out there.
