audiobook narrator spotlight: Ell Potter
next up in the series is Ell Potter! they have a wide range, from litfic to romance to thrillers to cozy fantasy. named one of audibleโs break out stars, Ell has a soothing voice and their cadence just scratches an itch in my brain in the best way. Like my last list, Iโve avoided Audible exclusives so everyone can access these titles through Libby, Hoopla, or Libro.fm.
anyone can spotlight any narrator they want at any time! ๐ซถ
