"Audiobook fans tend to be more adventurous because we can listen while we do something else."
~Joyce Saricks, "At Leisure: Unexpected Pleasures", Booklist magazine Vol. 107
I'm a little behind the times-June was Audiobook Month-but I thought I would share with you some audiobook recommendations I've gleaned from various resources, including staff favorites.
First, did you know that Katherine Kellgren won the Booklist Voice of Choice award? We have quite a few audiobooks narrated by Ms. Kellgren in the library catalog if you'd like to give her a listen.
Now, off to the races-I mean the recommendations! Some of these will be books on CD & some will be eAudio. downloadable from our Digital Library.
