Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI a book by David Grann
Graphic Audio
Graphic Audio has become the only audio book company that I listen to. A movie in your mind is very right. A full cast, sound scape and production. For all my theatre people-theses are radio plays.
A Court of Thorns and Roses 1: A Court of Thorns and Roses 1 of 2
The only thing I hate is that some of the books are two parts
A Court of Thorns and Roses 1: A Court of Thorns and Roses 2 of 2
This might be my favorite book in the series!
A Court of Thorns and Roses 2: A Court of Mist and Fury 1 of 2
I had to wait so long for this part because my listening hours on Spotify ran out :(
A Court of Thorns and Roses 2: A Court of Mist and Fury 2 of 2
Fun fact the person playing Feyre, Melody Muze, is from Dallas. #TexasGirls
A Court of Thorns and Roses 3: A Court of Wings and Ruin 1 of 3
This book is so epic that GA split it up into 3 different chunks
A Court of Thorns and Roses 3: A Court of Wings and Ruin 2 of 3
Yes part 3- but this is a thick book and so much action happens
A Court of Thorns and Roses 3: A Court of Wings and Ruin 3 of 3
Now several people call this the Christmas episode of the series. That may be low key true- but if you pay attention there are some big things starting to come to life
A Court of Thorns and Roses: A Court of Frost and Starlight
Not gonna lie- everything Nesta did pissed me off. but she does have a beautiful story arc in this book
A Court of Thorns and Roses 4: A Court of Silver Flames 1 of 2
Part 2- but also this is probably the spiciest of the books to listen to…
A Court of Thorns and Roses 4: A Court of Silver Flames 2 of 2
I was on my way back to TX after attending a concert in KS city- I found this book and Spotify and it was the perfect listen for the 8 hour car ride.
Married To Magic 1: A Deal With The Elf King
A lot of fantasy on the Graphic Audio…. book two follows Katria and her Relationship with the Fae Prince
Married To Magic 2: A Dance With The Fae Prince
In the 3rd book- the series starts to tie together and you can see how each book relates to the other.
Married To Magic 3: A Duel With The Vampire Lord
I was excited when I heard Rhysand voice- Played by the talented Anthony Palmini who also voices the Siren Duke
Married To Magic 4: A Duet With The Siren Duke
I listen to every second of GA recordings. They give suggestions of what you might enjoy bases on what you just listened to. I was at the end of a book and a preview of Crave played. I immediately recognized Melody Muze's voice and started the series.
Crave 1: Crave 1 of 2
I am noticing a trend of finding stories so long that GA brakes them into parts.
Crave 1: Crave 2 of 2
Crush also featured other voices I loved like Anthony Palmini. It was interesting to hear how he changed his voice to sound like a teen at Katmere
Crave 2: Crush 1 of 2
This book is 688 pages- so part two was a must
Crave 2: Crush 2 of 2
Book 3 took at turn. I think for the better. I have enjoyed the relationship between Grace and Hudson growing and changing.
Crave 3: Covet 1 of 2
We lose a someone in this book, so make sure to have tissues near by. I will also have to stop listening to the series here because part 2 of Court doesn't come out until March 10, 2025 and there no way I can listen to part 1 and wait 3 months to finish the book.
Crave 3: Covet 2 of 2
I started listening to this series because another actor crossover- Yenni Ann. They played Macy in Crave and Alexis Price in the Demigods of San Francisco series
Demigods of San Francisco 1: Sin and Chocolate
Second book- I like that this series. It has a little romance but the story is not focused on that.
Demigods of San Francisco 2: Sin and Magic
Book 3 brings with it the war
Demigods of San Francisco 3: Sin and Salvation
I cried in this one… and the next one doesn't even come out until Jan 2025….
Demigods of San Francisco 4: Sin and Spirit
