June is Audiobook Month!
I list my most recent audiobook listens on Walkin' and Readin' Wednesdays, so on this first day of Audiobook Month, here's a list of the titles that aren't mainstream, yet are entertaining as heck.
Slaycation Series, by Lauren Biel
1. Sinners Retreat (2024)
2. Slay Ride (2025)
3. Ship Happens (2025)
4. Slaughter Park (2026)
5. Sinners Reunion (August, 2026)
"Serial killers need vacations too! This is a dark rom-com series" - Goodreads
Lots of humor, very adult, and yeah, bad people are unalived...a lot.
Clovenhoof Series, by Heide Goody and Iain Grant
1. Clovenhoof (2012)
2. Pigeonwings (2013)
3. Godsquad (2015)
4. Hellzapoppin' (2015)
5. Beelzebelle (2016)
6. Hooflandia (2018)
7. Holymoly (2018)
8. Alpacalypse (2023)
9. Hankypanky (2024)
10. Babelicious (2025)
"Charged with gross incompetence, Satan is fired from his job as Prince of Hell and exiled to that most terrible of places: English suburbia, and forced to live as a human." - Goodreads
To me, these authors hold up a mirror to modern society, and take massive potshots at everything: governments, soccer mom's, every organized religion, pubs, heavy metal bands, writers, saints, and more.
Snark, humor, silliness beyond what meer mortals can do, but do NOT mess with Joan of Arc, unless it's with a hot-air balloon.
Stranger Times Series, by C. K. McDonnell
1. The Stranger Times (2021)
2. This Charming Man (2022)
3. Love Will Tear Us Apart (2023)
4. Relight My Fire (2024)
5. Ring the Bells (2025)
"A weekly newspaper dedicated to the weird and the wonderful (but mostly the weird), it is the go-to publication for the unexplained and inexplicable." - Goodreads
Manchester UK has got ghosts, monsters, magic, vampires, and more, and The Stranger Times staff wants to report it all, except there are dark forces that don't want anyone to know.
Humor, goofiness, and then there is DI Sturgess who has an alien living in his head.
Kat and Lock Series, by Jo Callaghan
1. In the Blink of an Eye (2023)
2. Leave No Trace (2024)
3. Human Remains (2025)
4. Body of Lies (2026) Audiobook not yet available in US
"Featuring DCS Kat Frank and Lock – the world’s first AI Detective - AIDE (Artificially Intelligent Detective Entity)." - Goodreads
Lock can scan computer files by the thousands in seconds, saving the police time and money, yet probabilities don't catch criminals.

Henry Update:
Henry is a feline sleeping tablet!
If a human lays down on the bed with him, they will be asleep before they know it.
Must be the way he parks his body up against the human.
😹
Let's Hop!
I do enjoy a good audio book and I think Henry does too
ReplyDeleteI need a sleep tablet most nights...love that Henry is yours! (I really don't use sleep tablets, but sometimes it is tempting to ask for a script...insomnia is such a drag...)
ReplyDeleteYou always come up with some interesting books for me to check into. But I'm still the kind of person that has to hold the book in my hands. Henry is just super comfy with his home and his humans.
ReplyDeleteAwww Henry, lookin' good, so good.
ReplyDeleteHenry ~ you look so adorable ~ Hugs ^_^
ReplyDeleteGreat list of books ~ thanks ^_^
Lots of great audiobooks. I used to do this when I was working. Driving from one meeting to the next and then the next.
ReplyDeleteHenry is most handsome.
Thank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Awww Monday and week. Scritches to the kitties. ♥
When my office moved and my commute tripled, my librarian friend suggested books on CD, and it changed my world. Now I multitask while listening to an audiobook by earbuds, and do chores, walk, etc.
DeleteYes, there sure is lots of good stories out there. Henry, you are the purrfect sleepmate!
ReplyDeleteAww, Henry❤️ You look so cuddly! I need to try an audio book. I think that would work for me.
ReplyDeleteHenry is a sweetie. I need to try listening to a book instead of reading one. XO
ReplyDeleteMudpie is the same way! I always say she's like a sedative.
ReplyDeleteThe books sound excellent, you certainly do get around to a lot of them.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Henry helps with sleep, it's something cats are good at.
I can't get into audio-books; maybe it's another person's voice reading my book... The Stranger Times sounds like the blog Strange Company. I always check it out; it's on my side-bar.
ReplyDeleteThanks for these summaries. Intriguing stuff. Be well!
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet boy😺Extra Pawkisses for all of you🐾😽💞
