Alicia64 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 These books are so good specifically on audio: Is This Anything? By Jerry Seinfeld (he narrates the audio. So funny). Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt. This one is so good that I've listened three times. The narrator rocks at doing southern accents. Based on a true story in Savannah, Georgia. The Color of Water by James McBride. It's a really good memoir. Narrated by two people. So good. Atomic Habits by James Clear I've heard is awesome on audio. I've read the book twice so haven't heard it yet. The book is phenomenal. Let me know if you want more! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny_Weatherwax Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I don't have a series to recommend but Where the Crawdads Sing and Before We Were Yours are both good audiobooks. If I recall correctly, the narrators for both books were easy to listen to and the listening was enjoyable. I believe I 'found' chores to do so I could listen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monica_in_Switzerland Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 The Memoirs of Lady Trent series (A Natural History of Dragons). This are an alternative Victorian history, where dragons are real and part of the natural world (they do not have magical powers, but can fly and some blow fire). They are just good, clean fun. The stories are moving and wonderful, but not such page turners that you can't turn them off at night. The narrator is excellent and sounds exactly how an older Victorian lady would recount her adventures in her younger years. There are some very roundabout mentions of sex, but I'd let my oldest two kids read them with no issues, in fact my 14 year old just finished them and he really liked them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really enjoy Dresden Files and In Death series. I don’t mind some profanity but I’m not interest in pages of it or sex scenes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 HP! LOTR read by Rob Inglis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theelfqueen Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Recent SF series I've enjoyed ... The Bobiverse books by Dennis Taylor (starting with We Are Legion, We are Bob) The Interdependency books by John Scalzi (lots of obscenity and some gratuitous sex but not detailed romance style sex scenese) Also Children of time and children of ruin by Adrian Tchaikovsky The HP books on audio (both versions) are good and so are the Narnia books.
