  Jim Dale has such a rich, musical voice and does such great characters, listening to him is bliss. He's perfect to read this lush, whimsical, poetic story. He also reads the Harry Potter audiobooks brilliantly, so you might want to check…Read moreRead more of this annotation

  I can't think of a better reader for this book chock full of '80s SF and fantasy nerdiness than nerdy actor Wil Wheaton (who is even namechecked in the book!). I've listened to this three times because it's just so much fun.

• The Raven Boys

  Stiefvater, Maggie, 1981-

  Actor Will Patton's quiet, lyrical voice and Southern accent will draw you into this story of myth and magic in modern day Virginia. You'll want to listen the the other three books in the series.

  Similar to Yes Please, Patton Oswalt doesn't so much read this memoir as speak directly to you. It's as if he were sitting across a table from you, telling you stories about his early years in standup comedy and his obsession/addiction to…Read moreRead more of this annotation

  Lutz, Lisa

  I sort of stumbled upon this detective novel which is as much a dysfunctional family comedy as it is a mystery, and I was immediately hooked into the entire series by the snarky voice of the main character, private detective Isabel "Izzy"…Read moreRead more of this annotation

• The Ocean at the End of the Lane

  [a Novel]

  Gaiman, Neil

  Add The Ocean at the End of the Lane to your for later shelf

  Not many authors read their own fiction for audiobooks--I don't know how many can truly pull it off well--but Neil Gaiman reading his own work is amazing. Magical and mesmerizing. The ending of this story is so beautiful and touching, I…Read moreRead more of this annotation
