My Top Four All Time Favorite Audiobooks
Alright, so today I’m going to share with you guys my top four favorite audiobooks. This isn’t just which audiobook had the best story. This is picking which audiobook had the best story, narrator, and production value. All of which are extremely important to draw readers in.
Without further ado, check out my top four favorite audiobooks below 🙂
The Broken Girls by Simone St. James
So, this one might be a biased opinion, but this novel made me fall in love with audiobooks. To give some context: I was driving home after a family vacation some eight or so hours away in a different state. Picture this: it’s around midnight, it’s raining and lightening everywhere, and you’re listening to an audiobook mystery about ghosts and hauntings. It was UNREAL. Three of my family members were riding with me and I thought they had all gone to sleep, but I hit pause at one point and they all yelled at me to press play! The narrator not only did an amazing job, but the story for this one? Wow. It was hard to top this audiobook for a long time.
Daisy Jones & the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid
This one is on here for production value and story. The narrators were still amazing, but the production choices really won this one. Daisy Jones & the Six is basically written in interview format, which translated beautifully into an audiobook. There were enough narrators to account for each different person who was interviewed (and this was so so necessary because I can’t imagine hearing all of this from one person’s voice). You’ll seriously appreciate this one.
A Good Girl's Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson
I’m convinced this book was meant to be an audiobook. Why, you ask? Because holy cow the audiobook is amazing!! Sort of like Daisy Jones & the Six in that you get interviews, A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder follows Pip as she tries to solve the murder of Andie Bell. You have interviews, transcripts of Pip’s notes, emails, the whole nine yards. What does that leave you with? A freaking awesome audiobook. Not to mention the narrator did a fantastic job!
Sadie by Courtney Summers
GUYS, when I say I will never stop recommending this audiobook, I mean: I. Will. Never. Stop. Recommending. This. Audiobook. Kind of like A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, I’m convinced Sadie was written with the audiobook in mind. Told in two different perspectives: one from Sadie’s point of view as she tracks down her sister’s killed, and the other from the perspective of a true crime podcast host who tracks down Sadie to try and save her life. You will not regret picking up this novel.
