I think you would agree; there are so many good books to read, but how to read them all? I wondered this. As a result I have started to listen to audiobooks! The hours driving cross-country in my van had allowed me this past year to plug in to a good story while on the road. When my driving for the day ended, I could focus on other things!
What I love about listening to audiobooks are the fantastic individuals telling/reading the story. With their tone and inflection throughout the reading, a story truly comes to life more than if I was just reading it. Even better, the author reading their own book! While I list my best books of 2023 below, I want you to know the best author reading her book, Braiding Sweetgrass, was Robin Wall.
I listened to and read many books this past year, but here are the best ones!
The Ride of Her Life by Elizabeth Letts
Brave the Wild River by Melissa L. Sevigny
The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak
The Girl With Seven Names by Hyeonseo Lee
Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus
The Covenant of Water by Abraham Verghese
Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall
Barkskins by Annie Prouix
Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt
The Six:The Untold Story of Americas First Women Astronauts by Loren Grush
Have you listened to audiobooks? Do you enjoy them? Do you always read a book? If you have a favorite book to recommend to me, please do! Thanks!
