I loved these audiobooks. What's next?

What’s the order?

Does this have child trauma?

I'm listening to The Pull of the Stars by Emma Donoghue.

I think it's well done--I'm enjoying the narration and the book isn't too long (about nine hours total).

I love audio books because I find that I will enjoy listening to things that I many not love reading and visa versa. The Pull of the Stars relies heavily atmosphere which is why it's working so well as an audiobook.

OP-- I have this page bookmarked for potential audiobook picks. The Matrix by Lauren Groff is heavily in the running. I did listen to Apples Never Fall by Liane Moriarty-- engrossing and well done. It's a fun book with a lot of twists and insights. Great narration.

I usually listen and read books. Here’s some I enjoyed lately:

The Startup Wife was really good and a good listen.
I like Agatha Christie mysteries and many are read by Dan Stevens, the guy on Downton Abbey
Claire Danes read the Handmaid’s Tale
Jake Gyllanhall read The Great Gatsby.

This Tender Land
Beach Read (light, funny)

It's a take on a classic, but the audiobook version of Circe was absolutely fantastic. I could listen to the narrator read the phonebook, she was that good.

If you search celebrities read books, audible will give you a list of stars reading books. I really liked Claire Danes reading The Handmaid’s Tale. Jeremy Irons read Lolita,which was the perfect voice for such a creepy tale.

Check with your local library to get all of these for FREE. I downloaded the apps Libby and Hoopla and connected my library card and presto! Instant free access to all the books.

I usually have 2-3 books I’m “reading” at a time. One serious, one drama and one self-help.

Agree, but my audio options are limited at the library. Plus, I have an audible subscription with 11 credits. And if you cancel, you lose them all. So I keep it going...

Download 11 credits worth of books and then cancel. Once you download they are yours. If you run out of books eventually you can join up again. I prefer Chirp to Audible though.

well, yes. That’s the obvious solution. But I do tend to like popular books, so I don’t want 11 right now.

You might be able to download the 11 books, cancel, then return books to exchange for credits or other titles after you’ve canceled the membership. Call audible and ask if you can.

You can "return" books with Audible? Huh?
