Reading is one of my favorite things, but it's not always possible with my busy summer schedule. Audiobooks have become my go-to solution! I love the enjoyment and relaxation they bring, whether I'm cleaning, walking, driving, or painting. It's a fun and stress-free way to enjoy books.
Whether you're gearing up for a long road trip or just want a new audiobook for your daily life, I've got you covered. Having listened to numerous books, I've curated a list of my personal favorites. While there are many great books out there, the narrator can sometimes make or break the experience.
Discovering great narrators has been a joy, and I'm excited to share my favorites with you. Jude Mason, Richard Ferrone, and Rebecca Soler are among the narrators I love to listen to. 🤩 Their voices transport you into the story, and I can't get enough of it!

While I have listened to a fair few audio dramas, audio books were unexplored ground for me until I listened to Voyage of the Sandpiper by Jessica Glasner's audiobook. So it took me a while to get used to a stranger's voice 'reading' me a book, by chapter five I had fallen in love. The narrator brings it to vivid life with voices, accents, and a lyrical, candid rhythm and I LOVED it. A highly recommended travel-adventure story with frank faith and a dash of cute, squeaky-clean romance, narrated to perfection.
