This is promising news, but considering most of their audiobook series have stalled out with no new releases in a year or more, I'm not optimistic about this going anywhere.

I’m glad ANN is covering these releases as news, but I wish they’d add audiobook releases to the weekly new North American release reports.

Anyway, I’ll probably pick these up as they come out.

Thank you for the suggestion. I'll pass this on to the person on the team who writes these articles weekly, but please note that these articles take a very long time to write every week, and I'm not sure if it's that easy to find audiobook releases based on the way we compile this information.

Can I please massively second this please. I actually do quite a few Light novel audio books, but it is actually very hard a lot of times to find information like release dates and other stuff so this would be a massive plus for me

Thanks for the response. Even just adding a once-a-month summary of audiobooks would be great. It doesn’t have to be weekly.

That would be seriously cool if every month we could get a list of the light novel audiobooks being released in English.
