Audiobook gives an amazing look behind the scenes of the classic move Princess Bride. I loved hearing how it was made and how cast members interacted with one another behind the scenes.

Story
Sally Skellington is the official Pumpkin Queen after a whirlwind courtship with her true love, Jack, who Sally adores with every inch of her fabric seams—if only she could say the same for her new role as Queen of Halloween Town. She can't help but wonder if all she's done is trade her captivity under Dr. Finkelstein for a different cage. But when she and Zero accidentally uncover a doorway to an ancient realm called Dream Town, she'll unknowingly set into motion a chain of sinister events that put her future as Pumpkin Queen, and the future of Halloween Town itself, into jeopardy.

The story is delightful and engaging start to finish and delves deeper into the world of holidays from Nightmare Before Christmas. Loved the expansion of the mythos and would love more in this series.

I got the audiobook so I could better understand the new Netflix series and it did not disappoint. the voice acting is top tier and I couldn't be happier listening to it.

The story following Jayden is not nearly as compelling as that of the original Godling chronicles stories. The story just doesn't engage me the same way and the end is disappointing.

Story
Audio is a unique medium. It invites listeners to become a part of the process, to interpret what they hear, however they'd like; whereas motion pictures leave no such room for input. With the completion of this book, it dawned on me that, as an actor by trade, I could play the part; and I'm knee-deep in actor pals - why not record the book like a radio play? So that's exactly what happened. I rounded up an excellent troupe of thespians, from both Los Angeles and my home state of Oregon, and we recorded what was to become this epic listen for you to hear!

The novelizations give some more insight into the Ghostbusters world and expand on things more than the movies. Voice performance is serviciable but not fantastic

Great short story in the Grimnoir Series. Always fun to hear about how someone will fight a Kaiju, more so in the 1930's!

Story
While he's not quite a household name, most people would consider H. Jon Benjamin, the voice-actor star of Archer and Bob's Burgers (and a sentient can of mixed vegetables in 2015's Wet Hot American Summer) a comedy show business success. But he'd like to remind everyone that as great as success can be, failure is also an option. In a hilarious, self-deprecating memoir, Jon lays out some of his many failures in all areas of life, from Work ("wherein I'm unable to deliver a sizzling fajita") to Family ("wherein a trip to PF Chang's fractures a family").

Jon Benjamin is always a delight to hear whether in this audiobook of his own failed memoirs or as Bob from Bob's Burgers. Highly recommend for fans of dry comedy.

As Dash and his team begin expanding the Forge, they must focus on Dark Metal as the one thing that can give them an advantage in the coming war. Using drones and a map from an ancient library, Dash and Leira must seek out the source of a transmission coming from far away. That source, however, is something far more valuable than they could have hoped: a fleet of ancient Unseen ships, waiting to be salvaged.
