Like the podcast version of a novel!
I first learned about this app from a local author whose work I really enjoy (Curtis Chen). He did a project in collaboration with a couple other authors and it was published here (Ninth Step Station). I listened to the audio series and it was great! I love that it’s episodic like a TV show, but that it’s still a book. It’s like the podcast version of a novel! Then I tried out a few more series and I have loved them too! The writing is enjoyable, the stories are interesting and well put together, and the narrators are wonderful. Also, the app works nicely. It’s easy to search for things or just brows, easy to buy a season (after listening to the first episode for free!), and easy to move from one episode to the next. I am such a fan, this app is great!

Love it!
The Serial Box series are so well done, I have a hard time not just listening to/reading a series all at once! I originally found Serial Box through the new Orphan Black series but after getting caught up on the few episodes that are available I went through the other series that Serial Box has done. I LOVED Bookburners, the narrator did an incredible job and the stories in each season really hook you in. I listened to all of the episodes way too fast but enjoyed every second of it. I am excited to explore other titles, I have a good feeling I’ll find another great one soon enough!

Great stories!
As a fan of Orphan Black, I was sad to see it end. Just like so many others, I loved how Tatiana Maslany brought the different clones to life. So when I heard that the Clones were coming back in a new format, I was excited. I looked into Serial Box. So the story will continue as a hybrid audible book/ television type series. Awesome! With Tatiana performing, it has to be great! So now I’m looking forward to the return of my favorite characters. Meanwhile, I have found another favorite actress, Summer Glau is performing a series, Alternis. I’m loving it! The world is lush, the characters are vivid in my mind. Check it out! Storytelling is alive!
