I feel like some authors really want to read their own works (maybe for financial reasons? do the voice actors get a cut or do they just get paid for their time?). Some authors do an awesome job. Some authors should never, never read their own stuff. Of course, sometimes publishing houses hire voice actors who do a terrible job too. But the voice acting can save or ruin a book so it's really nice when they get it right - and crappy when they get it wrong.

It's a big bummer that the outlaw marriages was mostly stormy relationships. although, I think when one person (or both) are big name/famous and/or artists, stormy is common.

little princes sounds compelling. Thanks for sharing these! I feel like such a book slacker.
