YA Audiobooks
Check out flash reviews of Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta and The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater at GreenBean TeenQueen.
Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor, read by Khristine Hvam, reviewed by Brenda at proseandkahn. Brenda says, "She matches the novel's initial leisurely pace and utilizes rich accents and a variety of voices for most of the characters."

Little Women (Part 2) by Louisa May Alcott, reviewed by Kate Reading, reviewed by Lee at Reading with my ears. Lee says, "Reading reads the prolix 19th century prose with confidence, and creates distinct characters for the four sisters as well as many others in the novel..."
Red Glove by Holly Black, read by Jesse Eisenberg, reviewed by Lee at Reading with my ears. Lee says, "Eisenberg doesn't voice the novel, but he doesn't need to. His command of Cassel's character is enough to keep this audiobook interesting."
Adult Audiobooks
Redshirts by John Scalzi, read by Wil Wheaton, reviewed by Sarah at GreenBean TeenQueen. Sarah says, "Wheaton gets the humor of the book and adds a nice spin on the characters (especially the captain's more crazy moments). But he doesn't do a wide range of voices like I'm used to from my audiobooks."
This Time Together: Laughter and Reflection, written and read by Carol Burnett, reviewed by Flannery at The Readventurer. Flannery says, "This book, specifically this audiobook, is for the people who love hearing people tell stories..."
