Incredible as it may seem, another year has flown past, and this is the final News and Reviews round-up of 2016. As you’ll have seen from last week’s “Best narration/Best story ” posts, we’ve had a pretty good year of listening here at AudioGals, and we’re looking forward to more of the same in 2017. But for now, here’s our regular round-up of reviews and features from the last month, all put into one handy post so you can catch up on anything you might have missed. Don’t forget that you can keep up to date with all our news and reviews by following us on Twitter or by visiting us at our Facebook Page.
