Enjoy these Audio Readers This Summer

A good audio reader can make even a “okay” book sound wonderful; and a bad reader can make a good book awful. And a good book makes a long ride go quickly for everyone.

Audiofiles has a list of “Golden Voices” that highlight award-winning audio readers. All of these readers are available on cds of the books; if there is an * next to the reader’s name, then you can also download some of their books through OverDrive. In Enterprise, you can limit your search to Audiobooks and Author and plug in the name of the reader.

My personal favorites are Jim Dale * who did the Harry Potter series, Ralph Cosham* who did the first ten of Louise Penny’s mysteries, Carolyn McCormick* who did the Hunger Game series, Anna Fields* who was the voice for Susan Elizabeth Phillips for many years and Patrick Tull who did the Patrick O’Brian series.
