August was as packed as ever at AudioGals, with twenty-four new reviews, a feature dedicated to Young Adult audiobooks and the final instalment in our massive review copy giveaway. The lovely Karen White joined Lea to chat about a narrators’ forum she attended in May, and about narrating romance in particular. New in August, our Throwback Thursday feature, in which we re-run reviews of old favourites, and also round up other works by featured narrators and authors.
