Thanks for the suggestion. I have this Graphic Audio version of Fool Moon now and I'm listening to it. You are very correct - it is very good. It draws me in and holds my interest - something that is often a struggle for me with other audiobooks. And I'm finding that my mind does not wander like with other audiobooks, which causes me to frequently rewind and replay sections that I spaced out on.

I see that Graphic Audio also did versions of the Murderbot books. I may try those next. My local library has them. I've always wanted to read that series but have never gotten around to it. Since I'm really liking the Graphic Audio version of the Dresden books, Murderbot may be a good next choice for listening to Graphic Audio. There are more than just the first two Dresden books from Graphic Audio, but my library does not have those yet. Hopefully they will soon. These Graphic Audio books are kind of expensive to purchase in my view ... $15.50 each for the next two. An additional $2 each if you want them in MP3 rather than online format. I assume that extra $2 gives you actual MP3 files to download unencumbered, but I don't know that for sure, or what they might be doing with MP3's in relation to usage limitation (DRM) these days. MP3's used to be unencumbered.

Do you subscribe to Graphic Audio's email? If so, you will get notified when they have sales. I've seen up to 50% off. So you could wait for that to happen and then buy all the Graphic Audio books you want.

Listening to a Graphic Audio audiobook is like listening to a radio show. They are very good.

My library has 46 copies of this story but I am the ONLY one who has checked it out so far though and I've had it for 10 days already. 45 of 46 are available right now. I don't think I've ever seen that happen, especially not for a Dresden or other popular series. People must just not know about it.

My other library doesn't have it at all.

It seems that people are not looking at new eBooks. I look at new eBooks at the library every Tuesday.
