Hello,
As the title says I have always been a physical book reader. However, my new job has an hour plus commute each way. I get tired of music and the radio so I wanted to try audiobooks! I started with Project Hail Mary (amazing) and then Sunrise on the Reaping (emotionally devastating). But I’ve tried some other books but I give up bc the narrator’s voice or the way they try to do different characters annoys me. Anyone recommend some audiobooks with stellar narrators? I’m open to all fiction if it’s engaging enough!

I am in the same position as you. After years of telework we were ordered back to the office this year full time. My commute is also an hour each way and I was completely sick of the same music I always listen to. So I tried Audible this year and love it. Here are a few suggestions…
– Demon Cooperhead by Barbara Kingsolver. Might be my favorite narrator so far. He truly sounds like the main character.
-Tales from the Gas Station by Jack Townsend. The series is like a cross between Clerks and the Evil Dead. There are two versions for each book but I love the theatrical versions.
-The Expanse series. If you like sci-fi, the books are are great and the narrator is one of the better ones
The Dungeon Crawler Carl series by Matt Dinniman, narrator Jeff Hays. Best audiobooks I’ve ever heard.
The Bobiverse series by Dennis Taylor, same narrator as Project Hail Mary.
Some great audio I have listened to this year
The Correspondent by Virginia Evans (SO very well done)
I am Pilgrim by Terry Hayes. (Long but honestly I was totally gripped throughout)
Empire of the Vampire series by Jay Kristoff (the audio is brilliant)
Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid (I cried so much at the end I had to pull over and park my car because I couldn’t see to drive)
Station Eleven by Emily St John Mandel
Sky Daddy by Kate Folk
