Best of BARD: August 2017

For the second month in a row, John Grisham’s Camino Island comes out on top with the most downloads by LBPH patrons in Western Pennsylvania. But King Patterson, never to be outdone, appears twice (that’s right, twice) in the top five books downloaded by our readers. Cussler and Connelly round out the group, showing just […]

Best of BARD: June 2017

In the midst of all the action of an audiobook, sometimes we can forget what makes it all possible. Fitting then, that right smack dab in the middle of this Top Five is a book telling the story of the Talking Book service – how it came to be, how the service works then and […]

Best of BARD: May 2017

With rising temperatures the blood boils, and that is evident with these thrills coming in hot from the heavy hitters – Deaver, Baldacci, Patterson, Slaughter, and Cornwell.

Best of BARD: April 2017

I’m not going to lie, Best of fans, I’m a little disheartened. You see, I’m of the belief that the Top Five is a bastion of what is hot and fresh. The up and comers, the new sizzling titles. And while that is mostly true, the list does provide that, with the occasional sentimental favorite […]

Best of BARD: February 2017

You’d think a list starting with Patterson and Woods and ending with Steel means we are back in the thick of it with some of the usual suspects, the heavy hitters of our favorites, as we are wont to do. But if you look a little closer at the mix for the Top Five this […]

Best of BARD: January 2017

New Year, New You. But that doesn’t mean we can’t keep the gritty heavy hitters in our lives, representing the Top Five. I’m not gonna lie, I was tempted to change the title of the Best of BARD to The Wrong Side of Goodbye, that’s how good the title from Mike Connelly’s latest is. No […]

Best of BARD: December 2016

Grisham. Patterson. Connelly. Baldacci. Bell. I suppose my challenge has been answered in the form of the hardest hitting male writers around. But I can’t say I blame you all, because when these masters of suspense crank out their latest, we all scramble to the headphones and stay transfixed. Last time we had a refreshing […]

Best of BARD: October 2016

Strong representation from some of the more familiar names (Brown, Woods, Childs) helps us round out the Top Five this past month, but a strong showing from Louise Penny and Linda Howard helps to keep it fresh and new. Check out some of the latest and greatest, and we’ll see you next time! The Sting […]
