Quick question...or should I say...



Has anyone found a narrator whose last name begins with Q?

I haven't had much luck finding any thus far and would greatly appreciate any suggestions...

Perhaps we should amend the rules to add the letter “Q” to the exception noted in #2.

Fingers crossed, it just might help!

Thanks, Jonetta :D

Done!

I searched on audible for narrators with Q names and there are a few with the last name Quinn- if you use audible you could try that and see if any of the books appeal.

O_O

How in the world did I miss...?!

(Please don't answer that. I'm obviously out of it over here. *LOL*)

Between Jonetta and yourself, problem totally solved.

Thanks so much, Michaele. *smile*

You're welcome! I hope there is something you like with a Quinn narrator.

I was trying to think of last names to search and could only think of Quincy and Quarles:)

I just finished this challenge. *smile*

'Q' was my final read with Zachary Quinto narrating the novella by John Scalzi. It was a unique concept and a really interesting tale (which falls under the mystery/thriller/sci-fi categories).

I definitely won't be finishing all my audiobook challenges for this year (as the time is absolutely flying), but I'm all good with what I did get done :)

Wishing everyone some fabulous audiobook adventures in 2019 and a Happy New Year!

Congratulations, Renée!

Yay. Congrats Renegade.
