Do audiobooks count as reading? We have thoughts. This week we're getting into the best audiobooks we've ever listened to, the narrators we can't stop thinking about, and whether the right voice actor can actually make a book better (or completely ruin it).

We cover our audiobook gateway drug, the books that hit harder on audio than on the page, graphic audio (and whether it's a little too graphic), and the narrator obsessions living rent free in our heads.

Books and narrators we get into:

• Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir, aka the audiobook we hand to anyone who says they don't like audiobooks
• Taylor Jenkins Reid's full catalog, from Daisy Jones and the Six to Atmosphere
• The Favorites by Layne Fargo and Chain-Gang All-Stars by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah
• Allie Hazelwood's Mate and Problematic Summer Romance
• Trial of the Sun Queen by Nisha J. Tuli and Duskbound by Greenwich and Lennox
• Julia Whalen, the narrator we'd follow anywhere
• Plus Dark Matter, Catch Me If You Can, Babel, The Knight and the Moth, and our graphic audio hot takes

Whether you're a die hard audiobook listener or someone who's never pressed play, consider this your guide. Tell us your favorite narrators and we'll see you next week for our June TBR wrap up.
