I'm still chugging away on the Clockwork Boys, another hour and a half to go. This seems to be one of those books where I liked it as an ebook, but the audiobook has me ready for it to end already. The narration is fine, so I'm not sure why I'm reacting to it that way. I'm trying to decide between Gemmel's Winter Warriors or Midnight Riot next. It will likely be Midnight Riot since I'm really ready for a change of pace.
This has been a somewhat odd audiobook year for me. Usually, there are three or four new books by favored authors that jump to the front of the list for me when they come out, but really there has only been one book like that this year. There are 3 or 4 other new books that are in the to be read list, but all my other purchases this year have been more backlist books or audiobooks that I bought in conjunction with the ebook because it was cheap.
Some of that is several favored authors finished up series last year, so they are taking time off before starting the next project. Others are situations where authors are starting to lose a bit of their earlier magic. Most authors go through that phase where they have been doing it for a decade or so and now need something to rejuvenate them a bit.
