Once again, the Listener’s List narrator poll was a resounding success! The first five male narrators have been selected, but every narrator on the list received listener love.

I admit to a twinge of jealousy whenever I read about book events and shopping sprees. I long to be able to participate in #IndieThursday [...]
Listener’s List Poll ~ Ladies First
10 Apr By 27 Comments
When I posted my thoughts on Audible’s A-List Collection of audiobooks and countered that listeners are best able to determine who the star narrators are for new listeners, the response was incredible.
