The audio of Harry Potter is really lovely as well (I'm biased toward the Jim Dale version because it's the one that I have a lot of memories attached to, I think?) Hope Carry On goes well for you as well! (I audiobooked it first... I've read in physical copy since, but I really think I like the audiobook best!)

However, I am on hold for the Carry On audiobook! Glad to see it made your list. I've been re-reading Harry Potter with my kids, but I want to try the audio one day! The Raven Cycle is one of my favorite series! The audio is amazing?<br /><br /><a href="http://www.doyoudog-ear.com/" rel="nofollow">Lindsi @ Do You Dog-ear? 💬</a>Lindsi https://www.blogger.com/profile/13480991226741687503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1146384157134327059.post-84371623692311011682019-03-27T07:18:19.960-04:002019-03-27T07:18:19.960-04:00That's good to know.That's good to know.

Carry On was more my thing in general, so I think that's part of why it's my favourite of the Rainbow Rowell books I've listened to (I'm not a huge contemporary reader), but also the audiobook is just really well done.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17679473507687411515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1146384157134327059.post-32744146495603599242019-03-26T17:22:25.856-04:002019-03-26T17:22:25.856-04:00Oooo, great list!!
