I recently listened to:
To Kill a Mockingbird (read by sissi spacek)
Rules of Civility

Both knocked my socks off!

I also really loved
Daisy Jones and the Six
Dutch House

I enjoy popular fiction.

I'm also interested in listening to some classics. I am embarrassed to say I haven't read many!

Hail Mary and 1963.

I've loved all of Elizabeth Strout's books on audio--the Olive Kitteridge series and then just finished the Amgash series. Excited that the next installment in it, "Tell Me Everything," will be out next week!

Also just finished listening to Pride and Prejudice narrated by Rosamund Pike. She was excellent.

I listen to a LOT of audio books…


Nothing To See Here was a GREAT audiobook!


I’ve read almost all of these! Similar taste!


Ooh…what else do you recommend?? I need a new one


I’ve been listening to similar books. Currently enjoying Tom Lake. I really liked Someone Else’s Shoes. The Count of Monte Cristo was a great listen if you’re open to classics.

Our family really liked the Murderbot series by Martha Wells. The first book is All Systems Red. Most of them are novellas, so only 2-3 hours. We listened to the GraphicAudio version (on Hoopla).

If you read/listened to "Daisy Jones & The Six", you may enjoy the movie, "Laurel Canyon".

I like the Liane Moriarity books on audio. The reader is Australian. Thanks to the poster who recommended Apples Never Fall. It was a good summer audiobook. If you are into tennis, you may like the book too.

Just finished summer audio list:

- The Husbands (bit long, but still interesting)

- Never Lie (some holes with narrative POV but engaging, even my DH enjoyed)

- Edge of Collapse (loved and sad FCPL doesn't have second installment).

- the Idea of You (semi liked, the globe trotting was fun listen).

Bumping because someone recently started a new thread asking for audiobook recommendations.

I found Know My Name (Chanel Miller) absolutely gutting and staggering. Read by the author herself. She's a genius writer.

Is “local woman missing” scary or traumatic?

This one was great.


Would this be enjoyable if you don’t like myths and things?



Are you OK with supernatural/witchcraft? The characters and story are very compelling and it didn't read like "mythology" to me.

Classics - Last summer I walked my way through all 30 hours of Dicken's autobiographical David Copperfield. The narrator was awesome which really helped. And then I watched the quirky Dev Patel movie version and loved it sooo much b/c i understood everything that was going on.

I listen to dozens of books but you asked about classics - i highly recommend listening to classics and they are usually free from the library.

I recently listened to Apples Never Fall by Liane Moriarty. This novel is set in Australia and the family reminds me of the family from the Netflix show Offspring. Funny, quirky and a good listen.
