Also want to acknowledge that the way I built sync isn't original to me at all. All this refactoring started with me wanting to write something similar for Bandcamp. Then I came across the excellent BancampSync project.
Looking at the code I thought it had a simple, elegant, and robust way to detecting duplicates. And so I copied it :)

Happy to announce I've relaese v1.0.0 of my #Python #LibroFM utility
Over the weekend I did a lot of refactoring of the code. There's much better test coverage. The main thing I'm happy about, though, is I changed the "download" to "sync" and it works much better.
Specifically, it tracks what's already been downloaded and makes sure not to get those again (unless you want it to, of course). My plan is to set it on a cron to check periodically and automatically grab new books for me.
You can snag the code here: https://codeberg.org/bfordham/librofm
Or run `pip install librofm`

I was frustrated by the lack of detail in the Netflix documentary about the Five Families so I used an audiobook credit to by a 30+ hour book on the subject which so far I'm enjoying. I only know the broad strokes of the #mafia lore so I'm learning a lot of new stuff about the early years so far.

Libro.fm has a half dozen CJ Cherryh audio book that are also DRM free
The listings include the entire Faded Sun trilogy and full cast abridged workups of Merchanter's Luck and Downbelow Station
The downside is the audio books don't have the fantastic art :)

They want to see if the Visitor harmed any other civilizations on its way.
This reading is chapter five of The Francesians, the last book in the Green Comet trilogy. Between the Maker world and that of the comet people, the Visitor dropped in on two other systems. Elgin and Fran and the others need to see what damage was done.

So against my better judgement, and honestly just because I like to check out new things, I downloaded Open Audible because Libation hasn't been working lately. Sooo many unlabeled buttons! Plus it gets stuck a lot when I'm going through settings. I have to tab away from it and then tab back. #Bookstodon #Audiobooks #Blind #Accessibility

In Part 9 of @eddietonkoi’s continuing series on audiobook narration, he gets less technical and explains how to make edited audio sound like a human would actually speak. I found it fascinating.

What Sound Editing Does a Non-Fiction Audiobook Actually Need?
A non-fiction audiobook may sound easy. There is a narrator. There is a manuscript. The narrator reads it. The audio is exported.
But professional audiobook production is rarely that straightforward.
In non-fiction, the quality of sound editing directly affects comprehension, credibility and listening fatigue. A great narration can still feel amateur if the underlying recording has inconsistent levels, distracting breaths, room noise, clicks or poor pacing.
At CINEDRAMA ENTERTAINMENT, we look at audiobook editing as more than simply “cleaning an audio file.”
It is about creating a listening experience that allows the content—and the narrator—to remain the focus.
1. Noise Reduction Without Destroying the Voice
The first step is identifying unwanted background noise:
- Air-conditioner and fan noise
- Electrical hum
- Computer noise
- Room ambience
- Traffic or environmental sounds
- Recording-system noise
The challenge is not simply removing everything. Over-processing can make a human voice sound artificial, thin or metallic. Professional editing means finding the balance between a clean recording and a natural-sounding voice.
2. Breath Editing
Breaths are part of natural speech. Removing every breath can make narration sound unnatural. Leaving every breath untouched can make the audiobook feel distracting or poorly edited.
For non-fiction, breath editing is usually about control rather than elimination.
Unusually loud breaths, distracting gasps and awkward pauses may need attention, while natural breathing can remain part of the performance.
3. Clicks, Mouth Noise & Recording Artifacts
Close-mic narration can reveal details that are almost invisible during recording. Placement of the mic causes variations.
Mouth clicks, lip smacks, saliva noise, small pops and other artifacts can become surprisingly noticeable through headphones.
These are often handled individually or selectively. The goal isn’t to make the narrator sound “processed.”
The goal is to make the listener stop noticing the recording and start focusing on the content.
4. Pacing & Pauses
This is particularly important for non-fiction. A business book, biography, self-help book or educational title contains information that listeners need to absorb.
If sentences run together, important ideas can lose impact. If pauses are excessive, the audiobook can feel slow.
Good editing considers:
sentence → pause → idea → emphasis → transition
The editor is therefore not only working with sound.
They are working with how information is received by the listener.
5. Volume & Dynamic Consistency
Imagine listening to an audiobook where one paragraph is quiet and the next suddenly becomes much louder.
You turn up the volume. Then the narrator becomes loud.
You turn it down again. That is a production problem.
Professional editing aims for consistent perceived loudness while preserving enough natural dynamics in the narrator’s performance.
This becomes especially important when an audiobook will be consumed across headphones, phones, cars and smart speakers.
6. EQ & Voice Clarity
Equalization can help improve intelligibility and reduce unwanted tonal characteristics.
Depending on the recording, an editor may need to address:
- Excessive low-frequency rumble
- Boxy or muddy sound
- Harsh high frequencies
- Nasal characteristics
- Lack of vocal presence
But EQ should serve the voice—not impose a completely different voice on the narrator.
A professional audiobook should still sound like the person who recorded it.
7. Editing Mistakes Without Killing the Performance
Non-fiction narration can contain:
- Mispronunciations
- Repeated words
- False starts
- Incorrect readings
- Long hesitations
- Sentence corrections
- Page-reading mistakes
These may need to be edited carefully.
The important word is carefully.
If an edit removes too much of the natural performance, the listener may hear unnatural jumps, changes in ambience or altered pacing.
A good edit should be heard as little as possible.
8. Chapter & Section Transitions
Non-fiction audiobooks often contain multiple chapters, sections, lists, quotations, references and sometimes supplementary material.
These transitions need to feel intentional.
Silence, spacing and chapter openings should create a consistent listening structure rather than making the audiobook feel like a collection of unrelated recordings.
9. Mastering & Delivery
Editing is not the final step.
The completed audiobook needs to be prepared according to the technical requirements of its intended distribution platform.
That can involve checking:
- Overall loudness
- Peak levels
- Noise floor
- File format
- Sample rate
- Channel configuration
- Beginning and ending silence
- Chapter/file structure
- Technical consistency across the entire title
A beautifully edited chapter is not enough. The complete audiobook needs to work as one professional product.
The Bigger Picture
This is why we believe audiobook production should not be treated as simply:
“Record → Clean → Export.”
A professional non-fiction audiobook involves a chain of decisions:
Narration → Editing → Restoration → Pacing → Voice Processing → Consistency → Mastering → Delivery
Every stage influences the final listening experience.
And perhaps the most important principle is this:
The best audiobook editing is often the editing the listener never notices.
The listener shouldn’t be thinking about noise reduction, EQ, compression or breath editing.
They should be thinking about the idea, story or knowledge being communicated.
That is the real purpose of sound editing.
The Audible Craft
In this newsletter, we’ll explore the production decisions behind professional audiobooks—from narration and sound editing to mastering, audio storytelling and the evolving role of technology in the audiobook industry.
Because when a book becomes audio, the words aren’t the only thing that need to be heard.

I was toiling through Cat Rambo's "You Sexy Thing": only listened to 4.5 hours in 10 days and it felt like a chore: inconsistent pacing, drawn out descriptions, unannounced character changes. Dropped it.
Started "Only Human" by Sylvain Neuvel yesterday morning and I'm already 5 hours into. This series is catnip to me.
Yup, some #audiobooks are really clicking with me and other are not. I should definitely drop books faster.

Started "Only Human" by Sylvain Neuvel yesterday morning and I'm already 5 hours into. This series is catnip to me.
Yup, some #audiobooks are really clicking with me and other are not. I should definitely drop books faster.

Book Review: On Earth as it is on Television by Emily Jane
Author: Emily Jane
Title: On Earth as it is on Television
Narrator: Hayden Bishop
Publication Info: Hyperion Avenue, 2023
Summary/Review:UFOs arrive in the sky over Earth’s cities, interfere with communications, and then … they just leave. Humanity remains shaken, and while this is largely a humorous tale, there are menacing undertones in the growing xenophobia that leads to detention of suspected aliens. And it turns out that there are aliens on Earth, but they are mostly harmless. They had been left behind as scouts and when no one returned they slowly adapted to become (quirky) humans with somewhat ordinary lives.
The novel intertwines the lives of four people: Blaine and his unnamed wife who are raising two obnoxious, television-obsessed kids; Heather, a teenager who lives in luxurious Malibu but is annoyed by weird and extremely perfect stepfather; and Oliver who awakes from a catatonic state after 20 years and tries to piece together his life. There are also many cats in this novel, some of the cats are talking and telekinetic. Perhaps Emily Jane also loved The Cat From Outer Space as a child?
This book wasn’t working for me at first, but about a third of the way through some pieces began to click together. I’m glad I stuck with it because it’s a silly, sometimes absurd, reflection of humanity through the tropes of the alien invasion story.
Recommended books:
- The Road to Roswell by Connie Willis
- Light From Uncommon Stars by Ryka Aoki
Rating: ***1/2

I've finished: I Cheerfully Refuse by Leif Enger
While I Cheerfully Refuse hits most of the usual post apocalyptic genre tropes, it is no regular post apocalyptic adventure novel.
Rainy is a quietly competent protagonist, and viewing this dystopian world from his perspective is what setts this novel apart.
Reminiscent of Station 11, it is a more literary work.
Literally (Actually) pitting Rainy and Lark, with her used book shop, against the illiterate anti-intellectualists.

Let’s get real!
What bothers you and why?
📌Disclaimer: Please note that if you click on any of the links and make a purchase, I will be receiving a small commission at NO extra cost to you📌
Hey there, lovely readers!
Today, we’re diving into the wonderful world of pet peeves.
Yep, we’re talking about those little things that just get under your skin and make you want to scream into a pillow.
What bothers you and why? Buckle up because we’re about to take a wilde ride through some common annoyances.
1. Slow Internet
Let’s kick things off with a classic: slow internet.Is there anything more infuriating than watching the spinning wheel of death while trying to stream your favourite show?
Or worse, when you’re in the middle of an important Zoom meeting and your screen freezes in the most unflattering way possible.
Seriously, is it too much to ask for a stable connection in the 21st century?
2. Telemarketers
Next up, telemarketers.These persistent callers have an uncanny ability to ring just as you’re sitting down for dinner or when you’re in the middle of a relaxing bath.
The worst part?
They always seem to have the most important and irrelevant offers just for you.
“Congratulations! You’ve been selected for a free cruise!” Thanks, but I’ll pass.
3. Overly Loud Chewing
Can we talk about loud chewers for a second?There’s something about the sound of someone chomping away on their food that can drive even the most patient person up the wall.
It’s like they’re auditioning for a role in a sound effects department.
If I wanted to hear that, I’d turn on an ASMR video.
4. Endless Email Chains
How about those never-ending email chains?You know the ones where everyone feels the need to hit “Reply All” with their two cents.
Before you know it, your inbox looks like a novel, and you’re stuck scrolling through 47 messages just to find the original point.
Can we all agree to use “Reply All” sparingly?
5. Misbehaving Technology
Technology is supposed to make our lives easier, right?But when your printer decides to have a meltdown right before an important deadline or your phone battery dies at 20%, it feels like the universe is playing a cruel joke.
Don’t even get me started on autocorrect—no, I did not mean “ducking.”
6. Slow Walkers
And then there are the slow walkers.You’re in a hurry, weaving through the crowd like a ninja, and then you get stuck behind someone who seems to be taking a leisurely Sunday stroll on a Tuesday morning.
It’s like they’re walking through molasses, and all you can do is smile politely and wait for an opening.
7. Leftovers with No Expiration Date
Here’s a fun one: leftovers in the fridge with no expiration date.Is this container of spaghetti from last week or last month? Who knows!
It’s a game of culinary roulette, and the stakes are high.
Do you risk it, or do you toss it? The struggle is real.
So, there you have it—my list of things that bother me and why.From slow internet to leftover roulette, these little annoyances can really test our patience.
But hey, they also give us something to laugh about (eventually).
What bothers you and why? Share your pet peeves in the comments below—I can’t wait to commiserate with you!

My Secret Obsession: Dark Romance Audiobooks & The Voices That Make Me Swoon
What’s something most people don’t know about you?
📌Disclaimer: Please note that if you click on any of the links and make a purchase, I will be receiving a small commission at NO extra cost to you📌
What’s Something Most People Don’t Know About Me?
If you asked Chat Ludlow, the commanding king of the dark Fae and richest man on Earth, what most people don’t know about him, he’d probably smirk and say, “Everything. They only see what I let them.”
That, my friends, is what I’m aiming for here—a little mystery, a little intrigue, and a lot of fun.
So, what’s something most people don’t know about me?
Well, I’m not just a dark romance enthusiast—oh no. I’ve got layers, much like Chat’s intricate plans to make Belle his forever (cue the swoon).
My Secret Obsession? Dark Romance Audiobooks 🎧
Yup, you read that right. While I live for crafting my own sizzling stories, I’ve got another obsession that’s just as intense: dark romance audiobooks. And not just any narrators will do—no, no.
My go-tos are the deliciously deep voices of Aiden Snow and Teddy Hamilton.
There’s something about the way they bring the tension, passion, and raw emotion of a story to life that keeps me hooked for hours.
Think of it as the Chat Ludlow experience—dangerous, seductive, and oh-so-intoxicating. Much like Belle, I can’t help but swoon every time those voices take over my headphones.
Just like how Chat’s deep, commanding voice sends Belle into a fluster, audiobooks narrated by these legends have the power to take any romance to the next level.
If you’re not already obsessed, trust me—you’re missing out on the ultimate audio romance experience.
Why Audiobooks? Because They Let You Escape.
Life, much like the worlds Chat and Belle navigate, can get overwhelming.
Between work, life, and the chaos in between, we all need a way to escape. And for me, that’s pressing play on a dark romance audiobook and letting those velvety voices take me into another world.
It’s a bit like falling headfirst into one of Chat’s steamy power games—except this time, it’s Aiden Snow telling me all the dirty details, and I don’t have to lift a finger.
When you listen to Aiden Snow or Teddy Hamilton, it’s like having your very own Chat Ludlow right in your ear, whispering all those dangerously sweet nothings.
What’s not to love? You can dive into a world of Fae kings, ruthless CEOs, and unrelenting passion—all while folding your laundry (because multitasking is key, am I right?).
Everyone loves a good escape.
Whether you’re listening to a podcast or, like me, you’re falling for a brooding fictional alpha on audio, there’s something magical about immersive experiences.
What This Says About Me (and Chat)
Now, I know what you’re thinking—What does an obsession with dark romance audiobooks have to do with writing or being Chat Ludlow’s obsession?
Well, everything, actually. People expect you to be a certain way based on what you create, but there’s always more beneath the surface.
For example, Chat may come off as a dominant, ruthless man in control of everything, but underneath it all, he’s fiercely in love with Belle—someone who softens his edges and makes him vulnerable.
Similarly, when I’m not writing, I’m melting into the worlds created by my favourite narrators, where love, danger, and passion intertwine in a way that’s just so satisfying.
Your Turn: What Don’t People Know About You?
Okay, now it’s your turn. I’ve spilled my secret—dark romance audiobooks narrated by the dreamy Aiden Snow and Teddy Hamilton. Chef’s kiss, right?
What’s something about you that people don’t expect?
Do you also escape into stories when life gets overwhelming, or is there another secret passion you’re hiding?
Drop a comment below and tell me your favourite audiobook narrator or what surprising hobby you’re obsessed with.
You never know—you might just find a fellow audiobook addict (and I’ll definitely be here fangirling alongside you).

If you have never listened to my audiobooks before and don't know where to start, allow me to recommend The Giantess Slave by Amber Collins.
A female mad scientist kidnaps two party girls to create the ultimate instrument of her revenge: a 200-foot tall woman!
It's a scifi story with a light sapphic vibe that's the lowest heat of all my books -- it's far more suggestive than explicit and barely registers as PG-13.
*Friends sometimes say they'd like to check out my work but feel uncomfortable at the thought of listening to me narrate spicy sex scenes. I respect that! This might fit the bill.
It's also as campy as a 1950's drive-in movie.
And I had more fun than I know how to tell you doing the sexy mad scientist voice!
Bonus: for reasons I absolutely do not understand, several listeners have told me that they love to listen to this book to fall asleep to. Maybe my MILF-y Mad Scientist voice is soporific?
It's available through Amazon, Audible and Apple Books. You can hear a quick free sample in any of the listings!

More people are indicating that they listen to scifi audiobooks than I expected!
I'll point out that I have narrated one science fiction audiobook, which is hard to find in my catalogue: The Giantess Slave, by Amber Collins.
It's super short, low spice, campy, and fun! I had a blast performing the Mad Lady Scientist Voice, too.
(It's also a book that multiple listeners have told me that they like to play to help them fall asleep -- it's an odd kind of back-handed compliment, but if it's helping people fall asleep I'm happy about that!)
You can learn more about the audiobook and listen to a sample where it's listed on Apple Books, Amazon and Audible:
