Graphic Audio have collaborated with Humble Bundle to feature the dramatized adaptations of Clean Sweep and Sweep in Peace in a Romantasy Promotion which will run until February 24th.
Humble Bundle is a digital storefront for video games, books, comics and other entertainment, and they release collections that are sold at a price determined by the purchaser, with a portion of the price going towards charity. For the Romantasy bundle featuring Innkeeper, Graphic Audio have chosen Charity Water and their worthwhile cause to provide access to clean water for millions of people.
Also included in the bundle are dramatized adaptations of books by Jeaniene Frost, Charlaine Harris, K F Breene, Elaine Wilks and more- for a maximum total of 24 books. The regular price for buying the items separately would be above $400. With Humble Bundle, the reader decides what they wish to pay and for how many books, with the minimum purchase being $1 for 2 books.
The audiobooks in this bundle are available in MP3 format. Instructions and a list of recommended listening programs can be found here.
If you’ve ever thought about trying the Graphic Audio adaptations, and are in the Valentines mood, now is a great opportunity to get your listen on and contribute to a good cause at the same time.
This is great! I’m familial with HumbleBundle; and although I’m not really into audiobooks (my mind tends to wander and I have to keep going back and trying to find the point at which I wandered off), I’ve been wanting to try the GraphicAudio books. Thanks for letting us know!
Ohhhhhh. I have the Innkeepers already, but this is a good deal to check out some of the others I’ve been eyeing. *cough* Night Huntress *cough*
For those on the fence, check out the samples. I’m usually not an audio girl, but I ADORE — obnoxiously so — Graphic Audio. They’re great company if you need to be on the road for any lenght of time.
Same here – I don’t usually listen to audiobooks, but I have fallen HARD for Graphic Audio dramatized adaptations and now I need them all!
+10000000! Graphic Audio is Ah-Mazing! I don’t like traditional audiobooks, but those are sooo good!
One of the books in that bundle is a Devon Monk book for which the two main male narrators are “Tony” (Robb Moreira) and “Sean” (Ryan H Reid) with a quick appearance by “Wilmos” – all of which made me laugh when I listened to it.
so tempting… i have 7 of the 24 titles but also…. :drool:
I have 8, but $24 for the rest of them is still a great deal.
Humble Bundles are a great deal for a worthy cause. I bought one last year in support of Ukraine that had a whole bunch of video games. It cost me less, even going above the recommended minimum, than the one game that I really wanted cost on Steam. I don’t know about ebook providers like nook and Kindle, but you can link HB game purchases to your Steam account.
@Sandra, Humble used to just have you download the ebooks, but now they go through Kobo, which is great for me,since that’s the one I use the most. They used to have a program that supported indie bookshops – don’t know if they still do that.
Way too good of a deal to pass up at even half the books. By chance does anyone know which of the books besides the night huntress ones I need to listen to with headphones on if my kids are around?
I believe the Eileen Wilks pair have some language and sex scenes, although I may be getting these first two in her World of the Lupi series confused with the later ones, which definitely use the f-word. I just finished listening to the Graphic Audio version of book 14 last week. Very, very well done. Can someone who’s a more devoted fan of Eileen Wilks weigh in on the adult content of the first two books? The BDH recommendation got me to check out her books in the first place–thanks, everyone!
OMG, this is awesome!! I don’t care that I already own all the IA books, I can’t click buy now fast enough lol
This is perfect! I had been thinking about trying my first Graphic Audio book starting with the Inkeeper series. And giving back at the same time, can’t get better than that.
I have a lot of these, but it’s still worth it for the ones that I don’t have. I may even gift a bundle to my sister. 😊
Thanks for sharing! There are a few that I’d like to try in there. 🤗
Do we know if we’ll be able to listen to them in the Graphic Audio app? I looked through the list of listening platforms, but it’s not listed. It’s not a big deal, but it’s nice to keep track of the series in one place. Thanks! 🤗
Not sure, sorry! You could ask them through their customer service form: https://graphicaudio.zendesk.com/hc/en-us, maybe it makes a difference if they’re GA titles?
According to the Humble Bundle website:
Q: What apps can I use to listen to my Audiobooks?
A: All audiobook files are in an MP3 format which can be opened and enjoyed through iTunes, Windows Media Player, Rythmbox, Google Play Music, or the software of your choice.
Yep, I’m aware, I linked this in the article 🙂 – I’m not however sure if the Access app could count as “software of your choice”. Graphic Audio support would know.
Reply from Graphic Audio support:
That Humble Bundle deal only includes the MP3 downloads from their website using a browser. Humble’s special one time deal is not available or connected with our GraphicAudio website or apps. Our server data costs and app development costs are not paid by their sale, so we’re not including our own service with outside Humble Bundle purchases. Thanks for understanding.
Thank you for sharing that! I can understand their reasoning (even if it’s not what I was hoping for). 😊
well, that made it really easy to get a bunch of audiobooks to try out. later on I’ll poke at it to figure out how to listen to them. thanks for sharing!
What a cool idea!
It looks like Autocorrupt has struck with Charlaine Harris’s name – unless there is a Charlene Harris that I don’t know about?
Ooops, sorry! Thank you, will edit. I’m a bear of very little sleep lately and I was focusing very hard on the JeanIEne part.
Very cool! Thanks for the info!!
Sorry I know this is not related but I couldn’t find a way to ask on the contact us page. I have been trying to recreate the innkeeper mayo egg garlic bread recipe from book 1 but no luck. I cannot find the original recipe that I recall was posted at one point despite using the website search function. It sounds delicious as I love mayo and garlic.
Hi Sara,
There is no recipe for it on the blog, so it may have been archived- but it is pretty detailed in the book itself, might you be remembering that? 🙂
“I used a spatula to rescue the last piece of French bread from the pan. I’d melted a bit of butter in a nonstick skillet and fried each piece until it turned golden brown. The trick wasn’t getting the bread completely fried but instead just toasted enough for each slice to form a lovely golden crust. I’d peeled some garlic cloves, so I took one, chopped the top off it, and began rubbing each slice of bread with the clove.
[…]
I finished with the bread, took a bowl with egg mixture out of the refrigerator, and started spreading it on the bread, arranging the slices on a pretty green platter as I went.
[…]
Sean snagged a sandwich off the platter and bit into it with a crunch.
“Mmm. What’s in this?”
“Egg, Miracle Whip, garlic, and French bread.”
“So it’s like an egg salad. It doesn’t taste like an egg salad.”
“That’s because of the garlic and bread.” I chopped green onion and sprinkled it on the sandwiches.”
Andrews, Ilona. Clean Sweep, The Innkeeper Chronicles 1. NYLA 2013. Pages 89, 91 and 92, Kindle edition.
Maybe it’s the substitution of Miracle Whip with mayo? I am in Europe where we don’t have Miracle Whip so can’t attest to the difference, I’m afraid.
Please let me know if this helps or you need more details 🙂
I forgot all about this garlic/egg bread….it sounds delicious and now I NEED to make some to go with my homemade soup at lunch today! 😋
And thank you for alerting us to Humble Bundles! I never heard of them, but I have been wanting to try GA, and this is such a great deal!
Thank you- I recall the recipe was once posted with lamentations on how her famiy members didn’t appreciate the miracle whip/mayo. Miracle whip is a popular mayo brand in the US
😍
I’ve already listened to them all, but I’d love the bundle!
And this is the highest up the post comments I’ve ever gotten.
Me, too! (first! but I’m guessing it only “counts” on the serials? 😉 (I was excited, though)
What a great deal! I’m not a big audiobook reader, but this is really tempting. I’m familiar with most of the authors listed. I love Eileen Wilks and her Lupi series. I keep hoping for The Codex to be published.
I also like you can adjust your contribution to give more to the charity.
This couldn’t have come at a better time: I’m having eye surgery tomorrow, and now I’ll have all these amazing books to listen to while I recuperate. Wonderful!
Hope it goes well! Perfect timing for the books!
I bought the humble bundle as soon as it came out. I was sooo happy. I love graphic audio adaptation so much. 🙂
I’m not into audiobooks, I listen to things while I work so I don’t keep track of everything like while I read. But this bundle has a lot of books that I have already read, so I don’t need keeping track so closely, and then there are a couple of Devon Monk books, and I haven’t tried anything from her yet, it’s been in my TBR Mountain for years, so… The price is a steal, even paying more than the maximum, there goes my paypal account…
If anyone is debating, Death and Relaxation (and the one after it that’s included) and Born In Fire are great series to start listening to after IA’s books. 😊
I absolutely LOVE Graphic Audio and have listened to almost every one of the books listed. This is is a phenomenal deal! I would have saved a lot of money.
Definitely, get the whole package. It is a bargain and will be many delightful hours of listening.
Thanks for the heads-up! I already own a lot of the bundle, but there are still lots that I haven’t heard so I’m super excited to get the bundle. I love that it’s in MP3 format, perfect to listening to in the car on a USB stick without having to use bluetooth to stream from my phone. Plus Graphic Audio is the BEST, I’ve enjoyed every single one of their audiobooks I’ve ever listened to, so I’m looking forward to hours and hours of entertainment 🙂
Thanks for this recommendation. I had not heard of humble bundle before an I am enjoying the 1st Innkeeper in another format (I have the Kindle and paper versions) I also have the 1st and sometimes 2nd books to multiple series I did not know about. Its going to be so much fun to try new authors. Thanks again.
