Had another audiobook go live last week, which I’d narrated on the ubiquitous Shure SM7B. Behind the C414 XLII, this is my second most used microphone. It’s a lovely and misunderstood microphone, and I can’t wait to use it again one day. For now, I’m on the CAD D89.

I’ve recorded audiobooks on a ton of different microphones already. I’ve got two in the works now using the CAD D89. Silver Rank Brewer of Hawkin’s Magic Beers is one of those two. This mic sounds incredible!

FYI: Book 1 was performed on the C414 XLII.

The AKG D190e in champagne. A gorgeous vintage microphone which I’ve recently picked up. I had wanted to use it on one of my Grab a Goblin books, but its unfortunately beyond repair at the moment. #audiobook #microphone

This was my first Agatha Christie read from a book which I picked up from my parents’ collection about a decade ago. Well, I’ve finally gotten to sit on it, and I’m surprised how much I’ve loved this one—her writing too. I haven’t been one for mystery up until now. What a delight!

My Big Goblin Space Program by ScottWarren (RR handle). Ah, what a fantastic story! The tribe, the system—just some of the most amusing mechanics I’ve come across.

Goblin Teeth by Jim_Quill. Ah, what an amusing read. The mechanics and the system were intriguing, and I can’t help but want more. Quite the cast, which makes me crave more party dynamics in my future reads.

What an incredible story this was. I’ve had such good luck picking up wonderful goblin stories lately! Black and magenta!

Cover reveal for the last book in my Hawkin’s Magic Beers series!

I have been wanting to read this for years. Finally did.

This was my 2nd manga read, and it’s probably my favorite series right now. Excellent story-telling!

Ah, I finally finished reading book 1! This was an absolute delight to read, and I adored the relationship between Saeter and Blacknail. ClearMadness truly understands the goblin in and out. This series has a place in my heart.

Just finished reading Orc and the Last Born by Cornelius Clem on Royal Road. One of the most well written fantasy novels I’ve ever read. Being one who adores orcs and goblins, this was a tremendous joy to read. Highly recommend.

The first short story in Madeleine Kind’s Good Days Camping series went live this morning on Royal Road. It’s short and sweet and inspired by Laid Back Camp.
The audio is also available on Youtube. I got to have a lot of fun with the narration on this one. 🎙️
