Hello everyone. Wondering what everyone’s favourite audiobooks are?
Outlander series! The narrator does an amazing job!
Trevor Noah: Born a crime
11/22/63 by Stephen King and NOS4A2 by Joe Hill.
The Illuminae Files
The Dresden Files series
The Nightingale.
The Ocean at the End of the Lane ❤️ it was lovely to listen to
I have really been enjoying the audio books of Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister. Still relevant today!
Harry Potter is amazing. Also, Where the Crawdads Sing. I mostly listen to audio these days due to work and kiddos and there were only a few that I didn’t care for the narrator.
@Natasha agreed. I’ve listened to Harry about 20 + times
@Ashley I have only listened! It is wonderful!
I read “On Writing” by Stephen King, read by the man himself and it was awesome. As he was reading, he took on the personae of the characters with inflections and dialects. It was amazing. One book I absolutely hated on tape was “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo”. The person who was reading it was SOOO dry and boring that I almost fell asleep in the car.
Pam Joslin I am next in line for that audio, I can’t wait til my hold comes in!!!
Best Day Ever by Kaira Rouda
Wanderlust by Lauren Blakely
The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller. Frazer Douglas is one of the best narrators I’ve heard.
A narrator really makes or breaks the book for me. I can’t listen to one of my favorite series because the narration is just awful.
Following
Circe, also by Madeline Miller, has a great narrator. I really like Will Wheaton and he narrates quite a few books- Ready Player One and Armada are two I’ve listened to. I’ve also been stalking particular narrators to see what other books they’ve read. Sometimes I get lucky and find another book or two I’d like to read.
The Hate U Give and Children of Blood and Bone are we incredibly well done’
Still Alice. Ready Player One. Harry Potter books. The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo. The Life We Bury. Love Warrior.
Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil (unabridged)
The Guernsey literary and potato peel pie Society
Born a Crime by Trevor Noah, The Hate U Give (and basically anything else read by Bahni Turpin), Six of Crows, Crooked Kingdom, Big Little Lies, The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice & Virtue, The Good Lord Bird, The Mermaid & Mrs. Hancock, Spoonbenders, Howl’s Moving Castle, In Other Lands.
I also love to listen to classics on audio — some great ones are Jane Eyre read by Thandie Newton and Middlemarch read by Kate Reading. And Watership Down! That’s a classic to me anyway.
I love Jane Eyre , but haven’t heard it on audiobook. This one is going my list . Thank you
@Arlene I hope you like it!
My favourite has been The Northern Lights Trilogy by Philip Pullman. Narrated by the man himself and featuring a full cast it really is fantastic
American Gods by Neil Gamin
Anything read by Davina Porter. I first heard her narrating when I listened to the Outlander books. Now I listen to just about anything she narrates. She has very specific taste in books which, fortunately, matches my own, so now I often pick books just because she’s narrating them. She’s divine!!!
Can’t go wrong with one of the greatest of all time, narrated by none other than Jeremy Irons himself!

@Eric That man’s voice is liquid gold!
@Rebecca I can seriously listen to that silky English voice all day!!!
Harry Potter books hands down. I always have them on my phone.
Gulliver’s Travels narrated by the bloke who played Niles Crane in Frasier is my favourite so far. Also Huckleberry Finn done by Elijah Wood.
age of innocence dramatized version dracula dramatized version night circus
– “The end of the affair” by Graham Greene is one of my top favourites, partly because it was my very first audiobook, and partly because it was narrated by Colin Firth ❤
– Carl Sagan narrating his books is an awesome experience. You can actually feel his passion, and that is beautiful.
– P.G. Wodehouse’s work is great for when you want something light and fun. English humor at its best! I prefer Cecil’s, and Spencer’s narrations.
– Nabokov’s “Lolita” read by Jeremy irons. It’s twisted, I know, and I can’t explain why, but I love it ❤
Tangerine by Christine Mangan
@Renee I’ve not heard that!
@Kathy it was great
Burial Rites, author Hannah Kent, read by Morven Christie. Morven Christie brings the protagonist Agnes to life, I read the book first but the audio was exceptional and made the story and interaction with the other characters more emotional.
It’s not for everyone because of the way it’s told but I loved listening to “Room” by Emma Donoghue
@Kayleigh I actually think this would be best as an audiobook
A Tale for the Time Being read by the author Ruth Ozeki. An unusual and beautiful book.
