How do you pick your next audiobook? If you’re a fan of audiobooks like me, this is always a question I struggle with. I would highly recommend listing out all the physical books you’ve read and start sifting through – listening to your favourite ones again adds a new dimension to the stories.
This list is a work in progress – but I’ve found it useful in revisiting novels I’ve read or picking up on new works by the same author. The only annoying thing I’ve found so far is there are a number of my favourites which are not on Audible.
I’m going to struggle to get these down so I might as well add them as I go along. As with the list of the films I’ve made in bold, those I like the best.
For those I’ve listened to on audiobook only, I’ve added an [AB] at the end for those both book and audiobook. I’ve included [+AB] – this is to save duplicating the names of the titles.
