    In Episode 187 of Book Talk, Etc., Tina and Hannah are diving into the art of audiobooks, storytelling, and what makes an ideal narrator for our listening tastes. We discuss what makes an audiobook truly stand out to us - whether it's a dynamic narration, full-cast performances, or the perfect voice for the story. We also share some of our favorite narrators and how their performances influence our reading choices. If you love audiobooks or want to get more into them, this one's for you!
