Audiobook Listeners’ Advisory
Posted by: Mary Burkey
Joyce Saricks, doyenne of Readers’ Advisory, salutes #JIAM2012 in “At Leisure: Celebrating Audio” column in Booklist. Saricks’ writings are a treasure trove of suggestions for finding, appreciating, and sharing the best in audio. You can search BooklistOnline for Saricks + audiobook for more great “At Leisure” columns that include all things audio. Joyce Saricks also has a terrific book, Read On… Audiobooks: Reading Lists for Every Taste: http://www.abc-clio.com/product.aspx?id=2147492585. And grab a copy of Writing Reviews for Readers’ Advisory by Brad Hooper, which has a chapter by Saricks on writing audiobook reviews: http://www.alastore.ala.org/detail.aspx?ID=2769.
There’s a chapter on audiobooks by Booklist’s Media Editor Sue-Ellen Beauregard in The Readers’ Advisory Handbook, edited by Jessica E. Moyer & Kaite Mediatore Stover http://www.alastore.ala.org/detail.aspx?ID=2883.
