For the holidays I got a gift of 6 audible credits. I don't really use audible. But since I really appreciate the gesture I would like to use them on books I'd enjoy.
I read pretty much any types of fiction- based on story graph – I read Literary, Historical and Science Fiction.
Here are the last 10 fiction audiobooks I enjoyed. All of them were through Libby or a CD from library.
-
memory police by Yoko Ogawa. Although there are parts where the narrator switches to a book she's writing, I was able to understand it easily
-
long petal of the sea by Isabel Allende
-
The Wren, the wren by Anne Enright
-
Julia by Sandra Newman
-
hangman by Maya Binyam
-
Western Lane by Chetna Maroo
-
Brotherless Night by VV Ganeshanathan
-
Babel by RF Kuang – although fantasy, I didn't get lost in the worldbuilding or the uncomplicated magic system
-
any Becky chambers book
Books I really enjoyed, it
But didn't enjoy the audiobook
- Lanny by Max Porter- I think after I read the first couple of chapters, the audiobook made sense.
- seven moons of Malaki Almeida by Sheehan Karunatilake – the plot switches pretty often that made it hares to follow the audiobook
- a passage north by Anuk Arudpragasam – this novel mostly happens as thoughts of our protagonist. I got lost a bit. But I really enjoyed the paperback
- prophet song – the audiobook was fine. But I think the novelty is how the book structures each paragraph.
- master of a djinn- maybe steampunk/fantasy might not be best consumed as audio?
- three body problem – maybe too many characters?
- old gods time by Sebastian Barry – multiple timelines
I would prefer to use them on more recent books as they'd not be available in libraries.
