We're thrilled to announce the release of Pretty Dead Girl by Natalie Tielcke, produced by Audible with Almost Tangible. Cosma was just an ordinary teenager. Yet her death brings sinister secrets to light, sending shockwaves through her friendship circle – and beyond.

White text reads “audible original / Pretty Dead Girl / Naalia Tielcke” and smaller yellow text reads “secrets can be fatal.” A yellow banner declares “only from Audible”

Sometimes I feel like a broken record on our channels when it comes to this topic, but LISTENING 👏 IS 👏 READING! 👏 (And by the way, we happen to have several fabulous productions of Beatrix Potter stories for you and little ones to enjoy!)

Does listening to audiobooks count as reading?

Sky's arts and entertainment correspondent Katie Spencer explores the booming format of audiobooks and whether it will help stop declining literacy during "the national year of reading".

Over a background showing misty trees on a mountainous landscape, white text reads “What I loved most was the soundscape.  I could hear the water, the cabins, the forest and trees, the well.  It was incredibly evocative.  I could feel my feet ploughing up the mountain...  I could hear the salmon farm tanks.  There was so much water.”
