Each year that I enjoy the audiobook format, I encounter more narrators that become fast favorites and a few books that truly sparkle more than ever in the audio format. I had a fabulous listening year since our last June is Audiobook Month (JIAM) event so I wanted to share the gems that made my Top Five lists for both narrators and books.
Top Five New Favorite Narrators
Gildart Jackson – he has a low voice and can do dark and gritty, brooding, or lighthearted so well.
My Review of The Final Toll (A Servant of the Crown Mystery #4) by Denise Domning.
Jayne Entwistle – so versatile with young child to the aged, classes, accents, and engaging tone and pace.
My review of The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie (A Flavia de Luce Mystery #2) by Alan Bradley.
Matthew Lloyd Davis – smooth low voice, fabulous foreign accents, historical setting, pace, and emotional cues.
My review of Dark Clouds Over Nuala (Inspector de Silva Mystery #2) by Harriet Steel
Teri Schnaubelt – became the voice of these characters, gender, distinct characterizations, balance between acting and storytelling, pacing.
My review of A Merciful Silence by Kendra Elliot
