Ours is a different sort of poll this year. After all, our listeners selected their all time favorite romance audiobooks in 2011. Once the results were published, I heard from more than a few of those listeners – all asking a similar question. What other audiobooks, audio authors, and narrators received votes besides the few…
Last week we featured a sneak peek at 2012 debut authors. This time, I’m taking an early look at Chick Lit and Women’s Fiction for 2012, a category that at times has been a bit of a problem in the Annual Reader Poll at AAR. Some years we pollsters wonder if we’ll have enough votes…

Our first annual Favorite Romance Audiobooks Poll results are in and it’s time to share!
