OK, we may or may not have nearly lost it when @danielhenningla — audiobook narrator extraordinaire and publisher of the new imprint @starshellsofmadness — stopped by for a visit! You know that voice from such audiobook favs as TJ Klune’s The House in the Cerulean Sea and Somewhere Beyond the Sea. (We ❤️ Chauncey!) We talked books, we gushed a little, and maybe did a little plotting of potential things to come... 😉 #BookSociety #AuthorVisit #Audiobookstagram #AudiobookCommunity #BookLovers
