Amongst the myriad exciting occasions in the month of June (LGBTQ+ Pride Month), it marks the somewhat lesser-known Audiobok Appreciation Month. Today, we wanted to count down five audiobook titles from our collection that we think our audiences should know about.  Anna Cookson- "The Sound of Your Soul" Now two-time Pegasus author (check out her new book "Dancing Out of Love"!!) and BBC presenter Anna Cookson released her first book "The Sound of Your Soul" with us in 2018, and in 2020, was adapted into an audiobook, narrated wonderfully by the talented Lillian Rachel. In a dystopian future where the carelessness of man has killed all the world's fish, Cally Dunne finds herself searching for her husband after he vanishes, following being called up for the government's mysterious new "training scheme".
