What are some of your favourite audiobooks?
** I’m not being sponsored by Audible. I just thought this was a great list.
Gaiman’s books are always my favourites. 😀 Neil is such a talented narrator and the ones with the full-cast recording are so, so fantastic. And Jim Dale’s voice was my childhood. 😀
I’ve had a hard time getting into Gaiman’s novels maybe the audiobooks will help.
Such a great list of books. I’m still a relative newbie with audio books although I do have quite a few lined up. I’m with Kathy – I love Neil Gaiman anyway tbh but his narration is brilliant.
Lynn 😀
Looks like I don’t have a choice but to check out Gaiman’s narration haha 😜
