Audiobook Lovin' Podcast: Season 7 Ep. 13: That's a Wrap on the 2026 Audiobook Lovin Series!

 


Listen to this post or read below!


Another Audiobook Month has officially come to a close, and so has the 12th Annual Audiobook Lovin' Series and what an incredible June!

From wonderful conversations with talented narrators, authors, and industry professionals to sharing laughter, stories, favorite books, and heartfelt moments, this year's Audiobook Lovin Series was one for the books. Every guest brought something unique to the microphone, making this our biggest and most memorable series yet. 

To everyone who listened, watched, shared episodes, left reviews, commented on social media, or simply spent time with us throughout the month — thank you. Your support means more than you know and continues to help this community grow year after year.

A Short Summer Hiatus

After an amazing (and very busy!) June, the Audiobook Lovin Podcast will be taking a short hiatus throughout July and possibly part of August.

Why the break?

Honestly... I need one.

June is always an incredible whirlwind, and after producing this year's series, it's time to recharge the creative batteries so I can come back refreshed and ready for what's next.

During the hiatus I'll also be hard at work behind the scenes:

  • Preparing for this year's Sultry Listeners Awards
  • Finalizing exciting behind-the-scenes projects for the newly launched Audiobook Lovin Network
  • Planning future podcast episodes, special projects, and even more audiobook goodness

While there won't be new guest interviews during the break, don't go anywhere...

There Are Still a Few Surprises Coming...

Just because we're taking a short pause doesn't mean things are going quiet.

I have a few surprises planned throughout the summer, so be sure to keep an eye on the podcast feed and my social media channels. You never know when something fun might pop up!

Join the Audiobook Lovin Patreon

If you love the Audiobook Lovin Series and the podcast and want even more content, now is the perfect time to join our Patreon community!

Your membership helps support the continued production of the podcast, interviews, special series, and all the work that goes into bringing the audiobook community together.

But that's not all...

  • Would You Rather
  • FMK (F, Marry, Kill)
  • Extended guest fun

And here's the best part...

Throughout July and August, Patreon members will continue receiving exclusive content while the podcast is on hiatus.

That means the audiobook fun doesn't stop, you'll have brand-new content to enjoy even while I'm taking a much-needed break.

So if you've been thinking about joining, this is the perfect time. If you don't want to miss out on all the Audiobook Lovin' goodies, Patreon is where you'll want to be this summer!

Welcome to the Audiobook Lovin Network!

One of the biggest announcements this year was the official launch of the Audiobook Lovin Network, and I couldn't be more excited about what's ahead.

I'm thrilled to welcome the very first show joining the network:

Tea Time with Tricia & Jojo

While their official podcast launch begins July 10, you've already heard this dual during the Audiobook Lovin Series! They joined me in this year's celebration! Their show will be publishing every other Friday with new and exciting episodes. 

If you've enjoyed watching their conversations and interviews on TikTok or are brand new to them, you'll now be able to listen wherever you get your podcasts as they become part of the Audiobook Lovin family.

This is just the beginning, and I can't wait to share everything we're building behind the scenes.

About Our Guest


4x award-nominated Tiffany Vanlandingham cultivated her soulful, raw vocal delivery as a stage actor before bringing her craft to audiobook narration.


Curiosity seeker. Reluctant heroine. Remarkable everywoman. 


Tiffany’s unvarnished manner of storytelling creates a grounding force for her listeners. Whether playing a gifted renegade hacker, a vampire resistance leader, or a small-town private investigator, her female heroines are free spirits with wisdom beyond their years.


Prioritizing emotional truth and deeply personal storytelling, her voice is a natural fit for fantasy, romance, YA, and mystery/thrillers.


A creative and strategic collaborator, Tiffany provides a dedicated 80-member review team who listen and craft thoughtful Audible and social media reviews to increase visibility and engagement for every production.


She believes stories are fundamental to how we understand ourselves and others. It’s in the contradictions of character, where darkness meets light, strength meets vulnerability, and passion meets restraint, that we recognize our shared humanity.

About Our Guest


Hello, I'm Abigail!  A lifelong artist and performer who found a love for music and acting as a child. I studied opera and choral conducting at the undergraduate level after having my interest in performance piqued by many roles in musical theater growing up. 

After spending time studying acting in LA and performing both on stage & screen, I now get to do what I love from the comfort of my own home - telling stories using my voice. Transitioning from the world of theater to voice over & audiobook narration couldn't have felt more natural, as I have always been a book-worm, often caught hiding under my blankets with a book & flashlight when I was supposed to be asleep. I have recorded titles for Penguin Random House, HarperAudio, Hachette, Macmillan, Disney, Brilliance, Audible Studios, Spotify & Podium Entertainment among others...

I am a Northern California native, raised between the redwoods and the ocean.  When not in my home studio, you can find me exploring the nearby forests with my toddler on my back, baking sourdough bread, fermenting everything in sight, sewing, running, gardening and hanging out with my giant black German Shepherd, black cat & seven chickens.

About Our Guest

I devour books like the cookie monster. Living For The Story. All my life I have loved getting lost in a story, acting in a play, or being on the screen. I want to quite literally set hearts ablaze through my performance. Acting as early as the age of 6. First and foremost I’m a reader a true consumer of the product I want to provide. It brings me an immense sense of joy. Every story is special in my eyes, and I can’t wait to work with you. While also providing a quality product directly from my high class setup.

My goal is to narrate from the heart—emotional, real, and entirely entertaining. Aiming to bring true feelings to the surface with every listen, making stories come alive with a unique spin every time.
