Was it written in the stars?…
At this year’s June 2019 American Library Association (ALA) Annual Conference in Washington, D.C., Julia Whelan was meeting her “favorite people” (librarians) and signing audiobook copies of Educated (for which she won a 2019 Audie Award for Best Female Narration), when just across the aisle, none other than bestselling author, Jojo Moyes, was about to do her own signing.
A huge fan of Moyes, Julia was thrilled to have just been cast as the narrator of her next book! The two were surprised and delighted by this chance meeting, resulting in a lovely photo (above) and chat before Julia headed into the studio to record this summer. Finally, The Giver of Stars can be shared with all of you! Hear why Whelan loved every moment of this audiobook experience.
