    Audible has made great strides toward cornering the coveted Thirsty Parents market today by announcing that Fleabag‘s Hot Priest Andrew Scott will be narrating an audiobook collection of Beatrix Potter stories. Well played, Audible! I don’t have any children, but you better believe that my next road trip will be scored by the Hot Priest reading about Peter Rabbit, Jemima Puddle Duck, and Squirrel Nutkin (please supply your own tasteless joke, as this is a website of literature).

    Unclear if the collection will include The Tale of Mr. Tod, the story of a fox. If it does, though, I will take it as confirmation that Andrew Scott is, in fact, his character from Fleabag, in which case you can find me at church this Sunday. In London. (Yes, I know he’s gay.)

    The collection will be released August 8th.
