Got Your Number: The Greatest Sports Legends and the Numbers They Own by Mike Greenberg with Paul Hembekides; read by Mike Greenberg (Hyperion Avenue, 2023): The best sportscaster alive settles the argument once and for all: Many players wore a particular number, but which players own them? I have listened to this book a dozen times, and I’m already looking forward to No. 13.

Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir; ead by Ray Porter (Audible, Inc., 2021): Newly minted Audible Hall of Famer Ray Porter is one of my closest friends—he was a member of our wedding party when Suzanne and I got married two years ago—and the man puts on a master class in audiobook narration in Project Hail Mary. Run, do not walk, to wherever you get your audiobooks.

In a Dark, Dark Wood by Ruth Ware; read by Imogen Church (Simon & Schuster Audio, 2016): Ruth Ware is the finest mystery writer to come along in years, and her narrator, Imogen Church, is a freakin’ rock star who will make you forget there’s only one person in the booth. Here, they team up on their first moody, spooky, heart-pounding collaboration. I dare you to listen in the dark.

Narrator Scott Brick’s most recent audiobook is The Devil’s Bible by Steve Berry (Hachette Audio, Feb. 17).
