Need a new book, preferably audio, can’t find anything to hold my interest

I love this author/narrator combo — more that I like the book itself.

+1 I got bored with this book about halfway through. Haven't finished - read some spoilers just for narrative closure.

Nothing To See Here was a great audiobook. I'm surprised you didn't like Remarkably Bright Creatures, given the others you do like! What bored you about it?

Maybe you're more in the mood for a mystery or a thriller? On DCUM's recommendation, I recently read - book, not audiobook - The Lies I Tell and I LOVED it.

OP here.
“Remarkably”…I’m not sure. I’ve even sped up the narration but it’s dragging! Maybe I’ll keep at it.

I’ve read and enjoyed most of what is suggested: Daisy Jones was the best audiobook!

I am PP and if you don't like it you don't like it! I really loved it but a slow and gentle meditation on octopuses, family, aging, life, and death, was exactly what I was in the mood for. I was sort of turned off by Lessons in Chemistry, actually, even though I finished it - and I think at another time I'd have loved it. Sometimes you're just not in the mood!

Daisy Jones was a great audiobook, agreed.

I posted previously about struggling to find an audiobook that didn't annoy me. I have since listened to a couple I not only didn't hate, but really thought the narration added to the experience:

Call Me by Your Name

Agree that "educated" was really good. It felt like the author herself was narrating.

"Where'd you go Bernadette?" was a fun audiobook.

I also randomly listened to two actress autobiography audiobooks: Anna Kendrick and Judy Greer. Neither was exceptionally great literature, but it was a time in my life where I needed a simple distraction, and hearing someone around my age talk about their life felt like talking to a friend in a conversation where I could be low key and just listen. Judy played Karen in "Daisy Jones and the Six." It was interesting to hear her take on always being cast as a friend but never the main character.

You mean will play? Is this a movie I somehow missed?!?
