Nothing But Reading Challenges discussion

Hey everyone, I'm looking for some audio book recommendations with really good narrators please.

I've already listened to pretty much everything read by Richard Armitage ;)

I'll give pretty much anything a go, but not a huge fan of YA or romance (or *shudder* YA romance!)

I'm down to my last 2 unread audios, and while this lockdown is going on I'm not getting the quiet I need to read print, so I'm counting on you guys to help me out here. I have 20 audible credits itching to be spent, lol!

Hey Sammy. I would suggest an abridged version of Wolf Hall narrated by Dan Stevens. :)

It's 2 abridged books in 1 BTW. The 2nd, Bring up the bodies, is narrated bt Julian Rind-Thutt, and he is also very good. :)

I am really picky about narrators and many of my reads are narrated by the authors. I am a very eclectic reader so just a few that I have enjoyed over the years...

by Alan Cumming
by Neil Gaiman
by Tara Sivec not big on audio romance but this is LOL funny
by Vikram Paralkar
by Charles Yu very experimental format, like a script.
by Flea
by Katya Apekina
by Lindsey Stirling
by George Saunders
by Trevor Noah

I've listened to Dan Stevens before, and he was pretty good! Thanks! :)

Thanks for the recs! I've read the first two (and both were great!), but the rest are all new to me so I'll go check them out. :)

Hello~ Here are some I’ve listened to as an audiobook in the past year or so and really enjoyed!

If you’re in the mood for an older, darker Harry Potter-esque magic school structure:
Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo



If you’re in the mood to feel good:
(Historical Fiction) The Giver of Stars by Jojo Moyes
(Fantasy) The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E. Harrow
(Mystery with Fantastical Themes) Tuesday Mooney Talks to Ghosts by Kate Racculia



If you’re in the mood for a post-apocalyptic journey:
The Book of M by Peng Shepherd
Wanderers by Chuck Wendig



If you’re in the mood for some thrilling elements:
(Psych-thriller from the perspective of the psychopath) You by Caroline Kepnes
(Police procedural in the Yukon wilds with a unique population makeup) City of the Lost by Kelley Armstrong
(Police procedural, very “The Wire”-like) Long Bright River by Liz Moore

Ican also recommend Unmarriageable narrated by the author Sonia Kahmal. It's a very good and interestin "Pride&Prejudice in Pakistan" story and the author's rendition adds extra flavour to it.

Here is a very eclectic list for you, all titles that I have listened to more than once...

Speaking of Austenesque stuff, I just noticed on Audible that Armitage has narrated The Jane Austen Society which is getting released at the end of May.

I may or may not have pre-ordered it... :D

Now my TBR is growing too. Thank you!

You know, I've had Just One Damned Thing After Another sitting on my shelf for about 3 years now! I really need to read the bloomin' thing one of these days! lol.

Off to see about the rest of these, thanks! :)

OOOOOOHHH! Thanks for the update, Sammy. Rushesofftocheckquickly.... ;)
