I’m not going to lie – this is a pretty spontaneous post, but after two semi-crazy and nearly unbearably hot days at work, I don’t have the brain capacity to write the book review I had intended to be today’s post.
I’ve been using Audible for about two years now, and I think at this point, I’ve listened to more books this year, than physical copies – and I’m not mad about it. I freaking love audiobooks – they allow me to read while I’m busy at work, getting ready, cleaning, etc.. you get the idea. All the things that take time from sitting down with a book, getting comfy with a mug of coffee or tea, and flipping the pages – audiobooks let me read while doing just about anything.
In the two years since I’ve started listening to them, I’ve amassed quite a bit of a library – the majority of them I’ve really loved, though there have been a few that I just couldn’t get into because of the narrator, the story. I find that the person or persons who narrates the story can make or break it for me.
I thought I’d list all the books I’ve listened to – most of these have reviews which I will link.
So here goes nothing. This might be a little more time consuming than I originally thought. Lol
****Some books won’t have reviews attached. I listened to them during a time when I wasn’t actively blogging – but feel free to comment if you want to know my thoughts!

I’m currently in the middle of listening to this one.
Okay, so I didn’t quite realize how many books I’ve actually listened to. The bad thing is, I own most of these books, if not all of them, in physical form as well. Some of the books have reviews coming, so keep an eye out.
But I think that concludes this very impromptu post about what I’ve listened to on Audible. Feel free to leave recommendations for future reads! Do you have a narrator you really like? Do you prefer fantasy over some other genre, or something else? Are there any authors that are automatic buys?
