  1. Just discovered your list! I listen to audio books most every day while I am working. I see some good ones here and will add them to my wish list on Audible! I'd like to add AS YOU WISH by Cary Elwes to the list. For fans of The Princess Bride movie especially, it was outstanding -- Elwes's narration is top notch, but also many of the other actors/director from the movie chime in.
    Great post!
