Welcome to Audio Book Heaven

about me clipartHello, and welcome to Audiobook-Heaven! If you are looking for audiobook reviews you have definitely come to the right place. At Audiobook-Heaven you’ll find audiobook reviews from all genres, and for all ages, with more being added every week.

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Steven Brandt. I was born and raised in rural Nebraska and after 13 years “abroad”, 5 years in Kansas City and 8 years in Dallas, I’m happy to be back home in my native state. Since my blog is all about audiobooks it goes without saying that I have always been an avid reader, as many of you are I’m sure.

During the mid 2000’s I had a long struggle with various eye problems and that’s when I turned to audiobooks, and what a Godsend they were, and are, to me. In 2009 I lost my sight completely and a few months after that I learned to use the computer with the help of a screen reader. That was when I started blogging and it didn’t take long to put the two together. I created my first audiobook review blog, Reviews From The Deep in October of that year. In April of 2010 I had about 50 reviews published and I decided to revamp the site a bit and give it a new name, Audiobook-Heaven.

In October of 2011 I finally got the surgery I needed and I now have pretty good vision again in one eye, although the other is beyond repair. How exciting it was to actually see my own blog for the first time! I had to admit that it was pretty blah though, just a simple black and white design, so that was when I spruced the old girl up a bit into what you see today.

I am editing this page in June of 2012 and Audiobook-Heaven now has just over 300 reviews published along with a few articles and resources for audiobook enthusiasts, not to mention free monthly audiobook giveaways which have been going on all year long.

If you’re not quite sure where to start, I recommend browsing the complete list of audiobook reviews currently available at Audiobook-Heaven using the drop-down search boxes on the sidebar. You can search the audiobook reviews by author, narrator, genre, or publisher.

I hope you enjoy the audiobook reviews. Thanks for stopping at Audiobook-Heaven!

Breathe deep the gathering gloom
Watch lights fade from every room.

Late Lament
(Graeme Edge)

Breathe deep the gathering gloom,
Watch lights fade from every room.
Bedsitter people look back and lament,
Another day's useless energy spent.
Impassioned lovers wrestle as one,
Lonely man cries for love and has none.
New mother picks up and suckles her son,
Senior citizens wish they were young.
Cold hearted orb that rules the night,
Removes the colours from our sight.
Red is grey and yellow white,
But we decide which is right.
And which is an illusion???

Hey, I've been 'abroad' with you on this amazing journey.
For some reason I still feel 'abroad' :P

Great changes this year!
I had to comment, that killer dog looked about ready to attack! ;)
