Just picked up a bunch of audiobooks that were on my wish list with the big sale, a lot of 4-6 dollar audiobooks. Of course, a lot were part of a series with a least one book that is regular price. I'll pick those up when it's time to listen to them.
Right now, I'm listening to a Warlock in Spite of himself, by Christopher Stasheff. It's one of those performance books with a number of voice talents and sound effects. Those who don't like such things definitely won't like this one. It's not horrible, but I think that a lot of the sound and voice effects (such as Fess with an R2D2 style voice) are distracting and make the words hard to understand. The Tamora Pierce books use the same technique (multiple voice actors) but they do it much, much better.
