Hi everyone! We've all gotten that look of "What are you talking about" when we, a book lover, speaks to a not so book lover. They just don't get us! Which is why when yo do get to chat with a friend who is also a book lover, time goes by so fast and more than an hour is recorded! LOL
I had the pleasure of meeting Felicia in person at this year's RT Book Lovers Convention as we were both part of the "How To Find Your Listening Audience" with Karen White (narrator), Michelle Cobb (AudioFile Magazine & Insatiable Press). I loved being part of the panel and getting to hang out with Felicia. So of course I immediately thought of her when I was thinking it would be a great idea to chat with a fellow blogger and audiobook lover which you can listen below. I've also included some of Felicia's favorites that we think you'll want to check out!

10 Series I will ONLY do on Audiobook (I am sticking with Romance but willing to give anyone some Cozy Mysteries/Horror too) and totally suggest to those just dipping a toe into Audiobooks. Though my first piece of advice is to start with a story you know so that you can get used to being “read” too again. It helps if you know the story already.
- Kate Daniels by Ilona Andrews narrated by Renee Raudman (UF)
- Fantasyland Series by Kristen Ashley narrated by Tillie Hooper (PNR) * Wildest Dreams (bk 1) * The Golden Dynasty (bk 2) * Fantastical (bk 3) * Broken Dove (bk 4) * Midnight Soul (bk 5)
- Highland Pleasures by Jennifer Ashley narrated by Angela Dawe (Historical)
- Season for Scandal by Kelly Bowen narrated by Ashford McNab (Historical)
- Rhymes with Love by Elizabeth Boyle narrated by Susan Duerden (Historical)
- Alpha and Omega narrated by Holter Graham and Mercy Thompson narrated by Lorelei King ---books by Patricia Briggs (UF)
- Fool’s Gold by Susan Mallery narrated by Tanya Eby (Contemporary)
- Pretty much any series written by Molly Harper and narrated by Amanda Ronconi (PNR)
- White Trash Zombie by Diana Rowland narrated by Allison McLemore (UF)
- Animal Magnetism by Jill Shalvis narrated by Karen White (Contemporary)
