Favorite audiobook and why? My library has Libby and I want to try it out.
Orphan X series because the narrator brings it to life. It’s a thriller if you like those
Not in here’s a book read it form, but in audio, things are different. I will give anything a shot. 🙂
Born a crime by Trevor Noah
Jim Gaffigan Dad is Fat. It’s like listening to his stand up…if you like that sort of thing. He’s very funny. 🙂
Anything by David Sedaris is fabulous in audio!

Salems Lot is great as well
All time favorite audiobook was The Invention of

11/22/63 by Stephen King all day long!

Stephen King- Mr. Mercedes trilogy. The Secret Keeper by Kate Morton

Hugh Fraser reading Agatha Christie.
Devil in the White City
The Book Thief by Mark Zusak bc Allan Corduner is the perfect voice to listen to Death tell you a story.
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
Yes!
Also Born a Crime by Trevor Noah
@Geeti this book: Born A Crime is excellent as is Trevor Noah.
Libby has audiobooks!!!
Yes
Misunderstood the question! Anyhow, I’m almost all audiobook now due to visual issues from MS. Great readers make even so-so books (or dry topics) enjoyable, great readers and great authors combined are magical, and a bad reader (luckily becoming rarer) can make even a masterpiece insufferable.
@Julie thank you. I’m sorry to hear about your MS.
Thank you, but really it’s an old companion at this point, 25 years and counting!
Any of the Spencer Quinn novels about detective Bernie Little and his dog, Chet. So funny!! (These are adult novels although that sounds like a kid story. )
Loved the narrators for Big Little Lies and The American Marriage.
The Nightingale
Water for Elephants
Britt-Marie Was Here
My Antonia by Willa Cather, great on audio
Where the crawdads sing
The Harry Potter books are so good on audio. I can drive cross country on one.
The Boys in the Boat (Brown), Unbroken (Hillenbrand), or anything narrated by Edward Herrmann!
Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society! Love the accents. Adds sass and charm to the characters. Allows my mind to engage a bit more.
Following
Trevor Noah’s born a crime, Gentleman in Moscow, both are excellent
TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD by Sissy Spacek
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo! I’m obsessed with the narrator’s voice tbh lmao <3
Harry Bosch series. Especially those narrated by Titus Welliver. Also David Balducci’s Amos Decker series and the other series which name escapes me. ( about a CIA guy)
Winter garden. This is where I leave you. Both are fantastic.
Jenny Lawson books because she’s even more hilarious when she’s reading her own book….
Also the red queen series and Julia unbound because I love Erin Spencer’s voice lol
F
The Hate You Give is excellent.
Another vote for Trevor Noah. Hilarious. Fascinating
ThebTalisman Ring by Georgette Heyer, read by Phyllida Nash, is a fqvourite. She does the voices so well and is so funny. Spike Milligsn’s wqr memorus read by himself are very good. Nice to hear the books read by the act ual author.
I’m listening to New York, by Rutherford, and really enjoying it.
I have been listening to my TBR list while I work and clean and stuff and its amazing
Home to Big Stone Gap
Great for fall into winter
Books way better than movie
Adriana Trigiani
The Hate U Give, Trevor Noah, Harry Potter (Jim Dale is amazing), Jodi Picoult usually uses different narrators, which I really like.
Room by Emma Donoghue. The character telling the story is a little boy and I felt more connected to him in the audiobook form more then the physical book or the movie.
Oh yes!
Stephanie Plum series because Lorelei King is awesome! And so is Jim Dale in the Harry Potter series.
Jim Dale also reads the Peter and the Starcatchers series… another favorite that even my 16 year old hasn’t outgrown!
Krakatoa by Simon Winchester because I learned so much by listening to it.
Three Men in a Boat, by Jerome K Jerome, read by Hugh Laurie. It’s on Spotify, idk about Libby
F

Incredibly narrated.
Circe. It’s an amazing and beautifully narrated story.

Dreams from my Father…President Obama reads it himself. It was swesome!
Yes, loved it.
The Saboteur by Andrew Gross. Narrator can do the accents & pronounce the Norwegian places with perfection. Great story too.
The Alan Bradley Flavia books – Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie and all the others. Wonderful narration and just plain fun to listen to.
A gentleman in Moscow. Fabulous story and a great narrator
@Lynette yes! Totally agree!
The Alice Network by Kate Quinn
“Neverwhere”, written and read by Neil Gaiman. Exciting, thoroughly lovely book. And read by NEIL GAIMAN.
He knows and loves the power of audio. I once heard an interview with him where he said that he writes to be read aloud!
I got the audio of A Gentleman in Moscow from my library for my husband and I to listen to on our 7 hour road trip yesterday. We’re into the 3rd disc, and so far I have no incentive to continue. When we head home tomorrow, I’m going to try again and hope we can get to a point we don’t want it to end!
I think this book might be better read than listened to bc the writing is so lovely and soothing it might put me to sleep.
@Bonnie I really enjoy listening to it…..just haven’t figured out what the “plot” is!
@Linda the plot is a life time long.
Hated it.
Really loved Glass Castle in audiobook.
Born a Crime narrated by author Trevor @Noah
Wishful Drinking by Carrie Fisher. Actually, any of her books — because it is wonderful to hear her voice speaking her words.
An American Marriage by Tayari Jones!!!
