Looking for Audiobook recommendations for an upcoming road trip.
Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd and One Man by Andrew Gross
Hunger by Roxane Gay
Any of the Flavia de Luce novels. Great narrator. Also “The Night Circus.”
The BBC has a wide variety of Audio cast performances .
Miss Julia series is entertaining. It is funny and I fell in love with the characters.
Here are some good lists to check out – and http://libro.fm/ lets you support your local bookstore of choice when you listen to audiobooks. http://blog.libro.fm/picks/audiobooks-of-the-month-summer-reading-picks/

Dr Sleep read superbly by the actor Will Patton.
Travels With Charley read by Gary Sinise. I think it’s available via Hoopla.
The Martian
Bossy Pants by Tina Fey
Behold the Dreamers
Lilac girls, the immortal irishman
Ready player one
The Night Circus or Elinor Oliphant were both great.
The Dresden Files. James Marsters reads them so, so well.
I really really wanted to like them. I like other things Jim Butcher has written, and helllooooo James Marsters. I enjoyed the first book, forced myself through the second, and gave up in the middle of the third. 🙁
I’ve noticed that folks either love the series or kind of hate it. Hello James Marsters indeed!
If you want to try a podcast, “S Town” was great, get it free from NPR
Harry Potter?
The Help by Stockett, the Harry Potter series, Ruth Ozeki’s Tale for the Time Being, and David Mitchell’s 1000 Autumn Days of Jacob de Zoet, and The Circle by Dave Eggers are all great audio books, very different from each other but excellent.
I second Harry Potter, read by the excellent Jim Dale, and Tale for the Time Being, as it’s read by the author Ruth Ozeki!
Thank you all for the recommendations!
Kitchens of the great mid-west by j ryan Stradal or the good house by Ann Leary. Both excellent audio books!
Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore
night circus, the art forger, joy luck club, age of innocence the dramatized version ❣️❣️❣️
Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry, Mr. Mercedes by Stephen King, A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles and Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer to name a few ?
If you like DeMille: UPCOUNTRY
Short but classic The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie. I also liked listening to The Sympathizer by Viet Thanh Nguyen.
Listening to the Elena Ferrante novels right now and really enjoying them.
