For #JIAM16 I am going to spotlight some of my favorite narrators. I plan on doing one a day until the end of June. I hope you will give them a listen and if you have favorite narrators use this month to thank them for bringing such rich layers to stories we love!

Why I like Her
Amanda has been a staple in my audible library since 2012. I just adore her narration. In the romance world, most people listen to her nail Molly Harper’s signature humor with gusto. There is even a group of us that almost can’t even read the series without Amanda’s voice in our heads. Seriously I was on a plane without headphones so I was reading Single Undead Moms Club (gotta love whispersync) and I could hear her voice in my head. I laughed when I realized that I was reading with her tone instead of mine. However, I want to point out that I have also adored her narration of the E.J. Cooperman Cozy Mystery series: Haunted Guesthouse . I also really enjoyed her narration of the Lucy March series: Nodaway Falls. Needless to say she is one of my favorites. I have over 20 + audiobooks narrated by her in my library and she hasn’t disappointed me yet!
During her non-reading time you can find her hanging with her rescue furr children named after book characters: Lizzie a beautiful cattle dog mix (Pound Pup), Cinder a beautiful Shep/Pitt mix (Pound Pup), and Minerva a beautiful Shep/Pitt mix (Foster Fail). Gathering with friends and family, attending conventions, watching movies/tv shows, rooting for the 49rs, and crocheting.

I was wondering why she sounded familiar… Molly Harper! I’ve done a couple of them on audio and enjoyed her work.
oh I love those narrators that stick with you, that even when you read a story with their voice in your head is a great experience. I don’t think I have listened to this one. But I see I need to.
I will discover Amanda soon, Felicia, because of Molly Harper 🙂 And it always makes me happy when I’m going to listen to a book and know in advance that you love the narrator!
WOOT WOOT!
My very first favorite narrator!!!! Love her and need to try more than just Molly Harper’s books lol. 🙂
Yes you do 🙂 The EJ Cooperman one is a cozy mystery series that is AWESOME!
