I also wanted to hear what Gaiman wanted to say about it. I was thrilled to see that he, again, narrated his own works. I really enjoy listening to his voice.

It is a classic title that I had yet to read. I figured since I am wearing dresses all month, why not read stories about dresses, too.

That was very intriguing to me. I was also interested to see if the story would follow the Disney version of Beauty and Beast.

Welcome to day five of Audiobook Bloggers Week 2017!
Are there audiobooks who love to hear? Do you have an audiobook you play on repeat or wish you could play on repeat? For me, there is always so many books on the horizon it's difficult to go back and enjoy another listen to a great book. Here's my short list of books I would love to enjoy all over again!

Welcome to Adolescent Audio Adventures!
At Adolescent Audio Adventures, I share audiobooks for children, teens, and adults. Most of the books found on this blog can typically be found in the Juvenile section of the library. Every once in a while I do like a branch out with some adult fiction or non-fiction. I typically read chapter books for elementary or middle school age students.

Horrifying. What do you know about radium and the Radium Girls?
Radium is a huge part of our history. It was a magical new element around the turn of the century. It was the one thing many sought, but few could hold. Yet when we look back with the knowledge we have today, it's a terrifying part of the past.

Brandon Mull has begun a new series, A Fablehaven Adventure. Book one is entitled Dragonwatch. If you have yet to hear the original Fablehaven series, you need to start there before tackling his newest adventure. Familiar characters return to familiar locations in this fantastical story.
