In order of my listening preference:

1) The Martian Invasion of Earth, by Big Finish. FEBRUARY

NOTE: BF produces fantastic scifi audio dramas, I’ve listened to several!

Synopsis: 'No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man’s…' A curiosity falls to Earth on Horsell Common, and a nightmare begins. England is laid waste by huge fighting machines, armed with devastating heat rays. Humanity brings its own weapons to bear upon the invaders, but can they be any match?

3) The Tattooist of Auschwitz, by Heather Morris. 20th FEBRUARY

Audible US: https://www.audible.com/pd/Fiction/The-Tattooist-of-Auschwitz-Audiobook/B0765C5V87

BBC story: http://www.bbc.com/news/stories-42568390

NOTE: I’m currently reading the book. Very emotional so far. I wanted to experience this remembrance from my Jewish, Silesian, Austrian, Germanic etc. family perspective before hearing it via Richard’s voice.

Synopsis: Based on the true story of Lale and Gita Sokolov, two Slovakian Jews who survived Auschwitz and eventually made their home in Australia. In that terrible place, Lale was given the job of tattooing the prisoners marked for survival - literally scratching numbers into his fellow victims’ arms in indelible ink to create what would become one of the most potent symbols of the Holocaust. Lale used the infinitesimal freedom of movement that this position awarded him to exchange jewels and money taken from murdered Jews for food to keep others alive. If he had been caught, he would have been killed; many owed him their survival.

4) Wanderlust, by Lauren Blakely. 6th FEBRUARY

Audible US: https://www.audible.com/pd/Romance/Wanderlust-Audiobook/B077BK6YQF

NOTE: Author promises different style writing from previous books which are not my taste at all. I’ll wait to look at print copy before trying audio.

Synopsis: What could possibly go wrong with falling in love in Paris? Nothing…unless one of you is leaving.

ICYMI: Previous Richard audio I’ve blogged here & yet to catch up

Romeo & Juliet: A Novel by David Hewson

NOTE: David also wrote Hamlet, Prince of Denmark: A Novel, which was very good because of Richard’s voice characterisations. I expect the same for this!

The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, by Robert Louis Stevenson

NOTE: A classic fave. Should be interesting!

David Copperfield, by Charles Dickens

NOTE: Dickens can be tedious, but the character voices are amazing.
