Megabooks @TheAromaofBooks thanks!! I‘m excited for the draw! 5y

hes7 Ooh, good idea. I tend to focus on my audios with due dates, so I have a bunch I‘ve been neglecting. 5y

Megabooks @hes7 👍🏻👍🏻 I tend to listen to newer ones in addition to library ones. 5y

Lcsmcat I listened to the Bohjalian - it‘s a good one! 5y

Megabooks @Lcsmcat fantastic!! I hope it gets called!! 5y

Bina: A Novel in Warnings | Anakana Schofield

Favourite fiction of the decade, audiobook format. Note that volume 1 in Martha Wells‘ Murderbot Diaries is standing in for all four; they are short, so enjoy them all! Also note that I have trouble counting to ten... #top10ofthedecade #audiobookedition

Cinfhen

Rissreads Fantastic list! I have alot of these on my tbr, and there are a couple I have not heard of so I will screenshot and check them out! 😊 5y

merelybookish I adored Goon Squad and Milkman (they made my top 10) and I listened to them on audio as well! 5y

Lindy @merelybookish The second time I read Goon Squad, I decided to try audio because I was really curious how the PowerPoint chapter would be interpreted. It was brilliantly done. 5y

merelybookish @Lindy I know! I almost said I loved Good Squad on audio even the PowerPoint chapter! 😁 5y

Becoming | Michelle Obama

I got into audiobooks in 2013 when I took an epic road trip over the summer and got tired of listening to music. Here‘s my #top10ofthedecade #audiobookedition. Though I didn‘t include it, I‘d say Harry Potter was my gateway drug.

Cinfhen

emz711 Yessss

Cinfhen Ohhhh, I‘ve been meaning to get to this one / going to go the audio route

The Slow Regard of Silent Things | Patrick Rothfuss

I‘ve spent a week at least thinking about my choices for #top10ofthedecade. Not easy! But here are my choices for the #audiobookedition

Cinfhen, BarbaraTheBibliophage

ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled All of these YES! Many would be my choices too, and I‘ll have to look up the only one I haven‘t read. We obviously have the same taste in books!! 5y

Aimeesue I'm reading an ARC of Ken Liu's new short story collection, and I came across this bit: '"Have you been to Mars?” asked Jimmy, my guide."I have,” I said. “Is it warm?” he asked. “Not quite warm enough to be outside the domes for long,” I said, thinking about the last time I visited Watney City on Acidalia Planetia.' Hat tip to Andy Weir. ? 5y

AmyG Great books. 3 made my list, too. 💕 (edited) 5y

Soubhiville @Aimeesue that‘s really fun! 5y

Soubhiville @ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled which haven‘t you read? 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage Nice! Quite a few of these are on my list. Now I may switch to the audio version! 👊🏻📚♥️ 5y

ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled I missed one - slow regard of silent things - and also the fire on high. Will definitely look into these!! 5y

Soubhiville @ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled for Slow Regard, definitely do the audio, as Patrick Rothfuss reads it himself, but then also be sure to get your hands on the book, because the drawings are perfect! 5y

Cinfhen Great list!! There‘s a few I definitely want to try😊Is the tagged book part of a series??? 5y

Soubhiville @Cinfhen Slow Regard is a novelette about one of the characters from The Kingkiller Chronicles. It‘s not really part of the series, but it‘s not likely to appeal if you haven‘t read The Name of the Wind and The Wise Man‘s Fear. 5y

Cinfhen Ok; thanks 🙏🏻 I thought it might be too attached to the Kingkiller Chronicles 5y

ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled Oh cool - thanks - will do! 5y

The Moment of Lift: How Empowering Women Changes the World | Melinda Gates

So the library would only let me go back two years in checkouts 👎🏻👎🏻, so it only gets five spots, to make an even 20. I listened to so many good ones in 2016 and 2017 that I‘m sorry I don‘t have a record of those.

#top10ofthedecade #audiobookedition @Cinfhen

melissajayne I really enjoyed

The Interestings: A Novel

Megabooks @melissajayne I had owned it as an ebook since it came out, but it wasn‘t until I checked out the audiobook that I actually enjoyed it. 5y

Scochrane26 I love The Interestings, but I read it on kindle. 5y

See All 9 Comments

Megabooks @Scochrane26 This checkout was actually my second time listening to it. It was one of the first fiction audiobooks I really enjoyed. I think a good match between narrator and book is even more important in fiction than nonfiction. 5y

Scochrane26 @megabooks yes, I agree. I‘m pickier about fiction I listen to than NF. 5y

k.reads.5 Loved Bitcoin Billionaires as well, although I read the ebook version! 5y

Megabooks @k.reads.5 I definitely learned a lot listening to it. One of the most enjoyable from when I was walking more this summer! 5y

Lindy Oh! I loved The Orphan Master‘s Son in audio too! 5y

Megabooks @Lindy yes! It was really good! 5y

The Nix | Nathan Hill

I started listening to audiobooks three years ago when I gained a commute. This is the best I could narrow down the 371 titles that have joined my #audible library in those years!

#top10ofthedecade (kinda 😉😉) #audiobookedition

And yes, The Nix is the top and absolutely worth 21 hours!!

Cinfhen

Cinfhen You were definitely a pioneer in the audio realm🙌🏻excited for this list!!!!!!! 5y

Cinfhen Did u see Audible is having a sale???? Going to check out some of your titles 5y

Megabooks @Cinfhen I did! I picked up Jami Attenberg‘s newest because it‘s narrated by one of my favs. 👍🏻👍🏻 5y

See All 24 Comments

Cinfhen Bottle of lies almost made my list but the author‘s narration was so annoying 😜but the story was UH.MAY.ZING 5y

Cinfhen @Megabooks oh, I wanted to read that one!!

All This Could Be Yours

Megabooks @Cinfhen huh? I liked both, but it almost made my nonfiction best of! Honestly most of my favorite audiobooks are done by a professional VO artist. I usually don‘t like ones read by the author. The author-read ones on here like Heavy and Beauty Queens are the exception. 5y

Megabooks @Cinfhen honestly you can‘t go wrong with Therese Plummer! She‘s the reason that this book is one there. She made it so funny!

There's a Word for That

Cinfhen Just bought the Attenberg #BlameMeg 😘 5y

Cinfhen I added all the others! 5y

Cinfhen I‘m gonna see if Hoopla or my library has any of them first 5y

Cinfhen One click is dangerous 5y

Cinfhen Woohoo, Hoopla had 3 but of course I‘m out of loans for the month 😝😝😝 (edited) 5y

Graywacke Fantastic amount of audio for only 3 years. Great list. (edited) 5y

Megabooks @Cinfhen lol! I haven‘t even started it yet!! But Therese is really good! 5y

Megabooks @Cinfhen I wish I could lend you some of my hoopla loans because I never use them all!! Anyway, I hope this doesn‘t change your opinion on my taste in audiobooks!! 🤪😘 5y

Megabooks @Graywacke Thanks! I didn‘t include overdrive and hoopla. With all three, I‘m well over three months of total listening time! I never listen to music anymore, and I used to live alone, so I would listen a lot!! 5y

Cinfhen We‘re about to find out 😘I was able to download this one from my “local” library (7,000 miles away) 👙👑

Beauty Queens

Megabooks @Cinfhen I bought it after listening a couple of times from my library, which is not 7k miles away 😂😂 5y

Birdsong28 The tagged book is great on audio

I Can't Make This Up: Life Lessons

Megabooks @Birdsong28 I‘ve listened to it, but I checked it out from the library, which isn‘t as easy to track. Kevin is hilarious!!! So is Tiffany Haddish. I think I listened to them back-to-back!

The Last Black Unicorn

alisiakae Wow! 5y

Megabooks @4thhouseontheleft thanks! I still feel there are so many good ones that I want to do a part two 😂😂 5y

Lindy Nice selection! 5y

Megabooks @Lindy Thank you!! 5y

Born a Crime | Trevor Noah

1) HP books are the best audiobooks, but I‘m not sure if I listened to them before or after 2010 & didn‘t want to include re-reads.
2) I forgot about Killers of the Flower Moon & would have replaced When Breath Becomes Air with it on my NF list. On audio, it‘s a jolt when the narrator changes due to his death.
3) I listened to 9/10 of the Heroes of Olympus series, esp on some long trips, so I included it as a series.
4) I like accents. 👇

Scochrane26 No 1 ladies‘ detective agency & The Crazy Rich Asians series both have narrators who do multiple accents. Loved the accents for the others. I liked listening to Carrie Fisher‘s voice (rip) & what she had to say in Shockaholic. And Born a Crime is amazing with Trevor‘s voice. It caused me to start listening to the daily show-I love his accent & ability w/ other languages. And Gabrielle Union had important subjects to think about in her book. @Cinfhen (edited) 5y

Scochrane26 #top10ofthedecade #audiobookedition @BarbaraTheBibliophage (edited) 5y

alisiakae I had never thought to listen to the audiobooks of No 1 Ladies Detective Agency. That is a series I stopped reading but mean to go back to at some point. I may try it on audio! 5y

See All 6 Comments

Scochrane26 @4thhouseontheleft I used to get them on cd at the library, but now I don‘t have CD player in the car. I may return to the series next year, I think I‘ve listened to 6-8 of them. 5y

Cinfhen I love accents too!!! I really much prefer audio to physical books as I get older and my eyes start to feel weaker. Geez, I sound like a crotchety old grandma 👵 Thanks for sharing your list❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️ 5y

Scochrane26 @Cinfhen thanks for starting the idea. It‘s been fun going back through my GR lists. I‘ll do my fiction one later. 5y

Do You Hear what I Hear?: Religious Calling, the Priesthood, and My Father | Minna Proctor

I‘m loving these lists, so I‘m adding another #Top10OfTheDecade #AudiobookEdition.

I Loved these on audiobook and enjoyed them, most read by the author, more than I think I ever would have just by reading them.

Sometimes hearing someone tell their story in their own voice, it just so powerful.

Cinfhen

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Here you go @BarbaraTheBibliophage 5y

Scochrane26 Several of us have Trevor, Gabrielle, & As you Wish on our lists. I‘m glad I did audio for those based on other people‘s recs. They are more powerful in their voice. 5y

vumblereads Lab Girl and Circe is in my favorites list too.

Cinfhen I‘m soooo happy that you‘re sharing these picks!! Thanks for starting the tag @BarbaraTheBibliophage 5y

Daisey A few audiobooks I've loved as well on this list! 5y

StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego Some fantastic reads! 5y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Scochrane26 Yea, I think we all tried to spread the word about a few of those around. 5y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Cinfhen No problem, it allowed me a way to include even more books! 😂 5y
