Volume 98: September 13, 2020

Hello fellow Accomplice!

Had a bit of a cold front move through... in early September! that has all of us feeling sleepy and delighting in warm beds.

The anniversary of 9/11 has come and gone yet again, time marching on as it will, and the first reviews are the audiobooks I spent this year listening to.

The earlier part of the week was more Listens from grand narrators—soooo: May you find something to your liking!

As always, feel free to share your favorites with me!

Or share your audiobook accomplice stories and photos!

Audiobook Accomplice Listening To Now: 2020-09-13 — So now we’re going into the wonky **Hispanic Heritage Month**, wonky cuz it’s mid September through mid October. But we’ve got it covered, starting with a couple of awesome Listens to have for you next week.
And I’m happy that each **Ray Bradbury** got votes, but one got most of the loving, so it’s added in here. Top it off with a historical fiction **Animals** pick, and I’m hitting the ground running!
Oh do say you’ll join me this fine week!
Details for the audiobooks are on the **Listening to Now** page.

Audiobook Accomplice Tell Me Whats Next 2020-09-13 — **Simon Vance**!
The man who got me hooked on audiobooks is here paid tribute to. These are shorter less well-known works, not the epic classics he’s usually doing the honors for, but I wanted to give these guys a chance for a Listen.
The trouble is? I need your help to decide on which one! See some that might tickle your fancy? **Vote** now, **vote** often; just help your fellow Accomplice out, won’t you?
Details for the audiobooks are at **Tell Me What’s Next**. Feel free to also **suggest another audiobook** for future review.
