Listen to the Audies

The Audies Awards Finalists, those audio books vying for the 2011 honors have been announced. Well, actually they were announced in February but I’m always the girl who is a bit behind the times.

The “Audies® competition, the only awards program in the United States devoted entirely to honoring spoken word entertainment. Winners will be announced at the Audies Gala on May 24, 2011, at The Times Center in New York City.”

A few of the titles up for this prestigious prize are listed below. I can personally vouch for The Postmistress by Sarah Blake. I can’t wait to hear the winners and hope to purchase more of these titles for our library.
