I like Susan Erickson too, her narration of Winter Garden by Kristin Hannah was absolutely exquisite. Have you read that one? The Rosie Project is on my wishlist so I'll think about the audio since you enjoyed it. Love getting recommendations ... thanks muchly :)Teddyreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09553244883194436385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6416388930682401137.post-66262260246385815742014-06-14T12:53:30.114+10:002014-06-14T12:53:30.114+10:00It's been years since I read Roberts, but I...It's been years since I read Roberts, but I'll see if my library has this audio!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6416388930682401137.post-26335321209060385062014-06-13T11:18:31.030+10:002014-06-13T11:18:31.030+10:00I love this post!

So I am sure my sister will enjoy The Collector knowing that Julia narrates that too.<br />My bestie is Davinia Porter for her D Gabaldon novels. I love her accents! I like Susan Erikson, I have listen to her Key trilogy by Nora Roberts. I believe Theresa Plummer has done a very good narration of the Virgin River series by Robyn Carr - however I read all those rather than the audio. <br />For some reason I dislike men reading books but I did love The Rosie Project read with the gorgeous Australian accent by Dan O'Grady. <br />It is such a delight when a book is well narrated. At the moment the one I am listening to is okay, but the narrator doesn't do anything to differentiate characters, so well read but.... boring! It's not enhancing the book. <br />Love this post, you have done a great job with it. A real pleasure to read.Kathryn Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08964951326616144323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6416388930682401137.post-46095622265890882442014-06-12T11:39:45.458+10:002014-06-12T11:39:45.458+10:00Thanks Kimba.

Instead, I grew up poor and beaten down and didn't stand up for myself until I was in my late 20s. :( Anyways, it's a fantastic book, I'm loving it! My favorite narrators have been ~ Jim Dale, Wil Wheaton and Gildart Jackson.
