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!
My favorite audio book EVER is the new read by Tom Hanks of “The Dutch House.”
He’s also great reading “Uncommon Type.”
I loved Milkman, read by the author, Anna Burns!
Yes! But the audio I’m listening to now for Milkman it’s read by Brid Brennan, who is masterful

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.
