Just completed #5 (Olympic sport - fencing) - As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride by Cary Elwes and Joe Laydon. This is a great audiobook if you are a fan of The Princess Bride! Listening to Cary Elwes, Robin Wright, Billy Crystal, and the rest of the cast talk about the filming experience in their own words (and often in their own voice) was fantastic! Got a touch long at the end, but it’s overall really well done! 4.5 stars
