Transcript

Hi. Narrator Andrew Joseph Perez, aka Julio Maxwell, here with my pick. I recently really enjoyed When Women Were Dragons by Kelly Barnhill, narrated by Kimberly Farr and Mark Bramhall, and brought to you by Random House Audio. It is absolutely stunning. The book itself is incredible. It is the story of 1950s America, when 600-some women spontaneously turned into dragons, and then America America’d about it. It is absolutely stunning. The narration is out of this world. Highly, highly, highly recommend. Pick it up. I got it through Libby from the Los Angeles Public Library. It’s available. It’s out there. Happy listening!
