In 2013 I started expanding what I was listening to. By participating in The Eclectic Reader Book Challenge as well as The BBC Challenge I discovered not only new authors and narrators but genres as well. Out of the 60 audio books I heard last year these three were among my favorites:
The Lost Memoirs of Jane Austen by Syrie James was a delight to discover. After reading finishing this book I sought out her Secret Diary of Charlotte Bronte. In addition to discovering Ms. James the narrator, Stina Nielson, who is someone I completely enjoyed hearing.
Wish You Well by David Baldacci was my favorite book in 2013. David Baldacci was already a favorite author of mine for his mystery/suspense books. What truly sets him apart is his ability to leave that genre behind and write heartfelt novels like Christmas Train and One Summer. Wish You Well is an homage to his family's heritage in the Virginia Mountains.
Cathedral of the Sea was a book I chose simply to fulfill a translated work requirement for The Eclectic Reader Book Challenge. I'll be honest I don't believe I've purposely read many translated works before. Ildefonso Falcones is an incredible storyteller who took me on a journey throughout Feudal Barcelona. His ability to paint word pictures of all aspects of life during this turbulent time made you forget the book was over 600 pages.
