Hi all,

I'd love to hear recs for audiobooks with terrific narrators. I first started to listen to audiobooks because James Marsters was narrating the Dresden books, but those books aren't necessarily completely my thing (close, though). I tried the Magic or Madness series, but having a USAn voice doing Aussie characters set my teeth on edge for some reason. Have listened to a few others which have been mostly just ok. So I'm looking for recs not just of the books, but of the narrators also.

I read relatively eclectically with a bias toward the speculative: fantasy, SF, YA, magical realism, with some mainstream lit, crime, thriller, historical, and romance. I'm not keen on terribly blokey stuff, though, I'd rather have some competent female characters involved somewhere along the line.

Thanks!
