Wabi Sabi Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I need to use some of my Audible credits. Any suggestions for things you've listened to recently that were for yourself, not the kids? I already have a couple dozens books that the kids haven't listened to yet! A few adult Audible books I've listened to and enjoyed over the last few months include Trevor Noah's Born a Crime, Hillbilly Ellegy, The Handmaid's Tale, and The Lilac Girls.

tuesdayschild Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Some WTMers recommended News of the World ~ Paulette Jiles. They were right, excellent listen (or read). A few , other, audible downloads I've appreciated: David Copperfield ~ Charles Dickens Don Quixote ~ Cervantes Unbroken ~ Hillenbrand Night ~ Elie Wiesel The Great Escape ~ Paul Brickhill ("language" content) The Affair of .... mystery series ~ James Anderson (light listens) Tartuffe ~ Moliere classic/play audiodrama etc.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsmith Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley - one of my favorites from my younger years, plus 51 hours!! The Black Death: The World's Most Devastating Plague by Prof. Dorsey Armstrong - (The Great Courses) I thought this was fascinating. I'm a bit obsessed with plague, lol. The Johnstown Flood by David McCullough - I am also obsessed with 19th century disasters. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee - I love Sissy Spacek's narration. The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings trilogy - I swear I hear the opening lines of The Hobbit in my head whenever I see something Tolkien related.Rob Inglis is awesome! Gone With the Wind - also a great job narrating this, plus I love a long listen. I loved the movie and always wanted to read it but never had the time, so I was ecstatic when I found it on Audible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
