  1. Unbelievable selection of audios! I am gaining a wonderful perspective of modern day writing but also, being taken back into my childhood with Meryl Streep narrating “Charlotte’s Web”. My commute is so much richer. Thank you Libro.fm – loving your stories!

    Emergency Skin
    By: N. K. Jemisin
    Narrated by: Jason Isaacs

    No Original Work category? Hmm…

    Evil Eye
    By: Madhuri Shekar
    Narrated by: Nick Choksi, Harsh Nayyar, Annapurna Sriram, Bernard White, Rita Wolf

    1. I’m afraid the winners of those categories signed exclusive agreements with Amazon’s Audible, which prevent bookstores and libraries from offering the audiobooks. We are strongly opposed to Audible’s attempt to keep independent bookstores out of the audiobook business.
