It was amazing. The woman who reads the Valdemar books by Mercedes Lackey gets on my nerves. The one that always puts me in stitches is Wil Wheaton's reading of Ready Player One. It's an almost 16 hour audiobook (the book itself is huge) but it's still fun.A.M.

A narrator can just ruin the best of stories and because I have an audioographic memory - it sticks in my head so then even reading the book I'll hear them ;) I am however really thinking I need to hear Simon Vance and Rupert Degas since you've been bragging on them. It's not like you to brag on someone without reason ;)<br /><br />*~MAJK~*<br /><br />A-to-Z Challenge 2014 <br /><br />Mighty Minion of Co-Host Nicole Ayers<br /><br />@Safireblade on Twitter<br /><br />http://www.safireblade.com/safirebladenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1930320015749694781.post-58151273331764509242014-04-16T23:56:29.659+10:002014-04-16T23:56:29.659+10:00Kate Danning is another really great one.

I don't like the sound effects (heraldry and trumpets) but she's an amazing narrator and shouldn't be blamed for the producer's foibles.Dee Solbergnoreply@blogger.com
