I recently switched to Audible annual, and now I have 11 credits to use.
The next Bobiverse book is out on Audible in Sept, but I already have 100+ that I need to listen too, having making the poor choice of working again. I will prioritise the DCC series until then when I do find time.
But the Tainted Cup will hopefully be read on Kindle, unless I fail and move to Audible for them.
We’ve covered quite a bit of the same ground on Audible. Take this as you will - the Audible readings of these two RJB books are just fantastic. I can hear Ana and Din’s voices just thinking about them - I hate to steer you away from the printed word but of all the books to listen to, these rank very high.
In other news - it’s been announced that Jeff Hays will voice Princess Donut in the live-action DCC series. It wouldn’t be the same without him.
That’s amazing news, and I can’t wait.
OK If I struggle to ready with my eyes, I will try with my ears, so thanks for sharing that.
I enjoyed reading The Faith of Beasts by James S. A. Corey, so picked up Frontier as my next book only to get the feeling I’d read it before after forty pages.
Sadly forgettable. Or I’m losing grey matter.
Anyway, I’m reading this now.
That’s in my TBR list.
I’ve parked Once the Deed Is Done after reading over 50% as I just want to get to finish it. The story is told through interconnected characters, but I found the narrative stalls when we switch from one person to another. Such as shame as careful editing could make this a gripping read.
Following this discussion, I’m going to read Jim Harrison’s Dalva again. A beautiful novel.
He evokes a particular atmosphere with his stories and illustrations. The Tales From The Loop was made into a good TV series that captured this well. The film of the Electric State was to my mind less successful by not sticking to the story of the book. Gcoupe’s books » CLZ Cloud for Books
Can’t disagree with what you say Geoff. I absolutely loved the tv version of Tales From The Loop. I still rewatch it regularly. The Electric State is watchable, but a far less memorable experience.
New book out next week 
Ooh - straight onto the list of books to read… Thank you.
Started reading Stålenhag’s “The Electric State” based on the intriguing book cover you posted.
Good start as it opens with this preface:
They’d put us on a railroad
They’d dearly make us pay
For laughing in their faces
And making it our way
There’s emptiness behind their eyes
There’s dust in all their hearts
They just want to steal us all
And take us all apart
But not in
Love my way, it’s a new road
I follow where my mind goes…
So swallow all your tears, my love
And put on your new face
You can never win or lose
If you don’t run the race…
The Psychedelic Furs,
“Love My Way,” Forever Now, 1982
Edit: Simon Stålenhag performs his own music too 
Playing the album while reading his book in a dark room under a lamp really creates a vibe. Reminiscent of Bladerunner.
Ah. Produced by my hero, Todd Rundgren.
The environments that Stålenhag creates are so original, with a weird retro and yet futuristic perspective.
Seriously, if you can access Tales From The Loop on Amazon etc, it’s really beautiful slow motion sci fi. Recommended viewing 
Maybe this is off-topic for this thread. Sorry.
I must admit that I really enjoy listening to progressive rock – especially older stuff – like Yes, for example. I particularly like many of the album covers by Roger Dean, who also worked for bands other than Yes. The following three books are more like picture books, containing album covers, but also some photos of the creation of various Yes stage sets.
