Staff Picks 2023

Introduction

The monthly "Staff Picks" is a set of 10 books from our catalog. Once upon a time, these books were showcased on the main page for LibriVox on archive.org, but this feature has been discontinued. However, the current staff picks are still announced in the "news/blog" section on the LibriVox homepage.

Feel free to suggest any of our completed projects for future staff picks. Please post your suggestions in this thread. Bonus points if they fit the current monthly theme and/or they are in a language other than English.

The audiobooks that were featured in 2023 will be added here. A short blurb of these selections may be found on the linked blog posts. For more information and a list of Staff Picks in previous years, have a look at the main Staff Picks page.

Enjoy!
