Very Meh is overselling it. It sucks worse than usual. Nothing I want in any way. Even very little I've already enjoyed.

I guess this is all subjective, but for me this is an infinitely better selection than the last few 2-for-1s. The nonfiction selection is especially stacked with great books I've listened to that I can recommend. I Want My MTV is an absolute blast. It's an oral history, which some people find weird if they're not used to the format, but for me works great as an audiobook. The Star Wars and Marvel books are also good, detailed books if you're into either of those. There's a Jon Ronson book, a David Sedaris book, Shea Serrano's movie book, Mike Reiss's book about the Simpsons, somebody's already mentioned Catch and Kill... The Disaster Artist is hilarious and especially good as an audiobook because of Greg Sestero's Tommy Wiseau impression. I think this is a killer sale.

Very true but the American Harry Potter audiobook has a narrator that never seemed to fit in my mind. Gotta get the UK 🇬🇧 version... So much better. Problem is that I don't know how to get the UK version 🤔 Anyone have any ideas?

Strongly recommend Second Hand Curses by Drew Hayes and Room by Emma Donoghue.

Believe the UK narrator was Stephen Fry. Available to listen here: https://hpaudiobooks.club/philoso...ephen-fry/

Otherwise, the books available from Audible were narrated by Jim Dale. IMHO, Dale did a phenomenal job throughout most of the HP series (with exception of his occasionally awful voice for Hermione). Dale's performance is generally rated 4.8/5, and strongly recommended.

Jim was also the narrator preferred by J. K. Rowling

Need recommendation from fellow sd'ers - I have few credits from monthly membership and haven't had a chance to redeem and listen during the last 6 months. If I cancel the membership cab I hold on to my credits and can i listen to the books I bought?
