The Audiobooks I Come Back to Over and Over

The Audiobooks I Back to Over and Over

I have 348 Audiobook titles, 323 are from Audible.  That's a lot of listening time. Mind you I've been accumulating them since 2012, so roughly 43 per year. Some of them I still haven't listened to because I have 348 audiobooks.

Why haven't I listened to some of them?
A. I bought it but am not currently in the mood for it.
B. I am already listening to 2-3 audiobooks at any given time.
C. I am re-listening to a favorite.

You know how a certain book is comforting and you re-read it over and over again because it brings you a certain feeling? Audiobooks are that way too.


Here are some of the audiobooks I go back to over and over.

1. The Themis Files Trilogy










Why? Full cast audio. Amazing story.


2. The Bridal Quartet










Why? The themes of female friendship, entrepreneurship, and love are so strong in this series. And I've been obsessed with weddings since I was a little girl.


3. The Royal Wedding: The Princess Diaries



















Why? This is the final book in the series(as far as we know). And wedding, mischief, closing all the doors, and wrapping a neat bow around it.


4. Paris in Love



















Why? Narrated by the author. Part travelogue, part love story to Paris, part family story- this book has it all.

5. The Illuminae Files













Why? Full cast audio. Incredible story. So very different from anything else I've listened to. It's more like hearing a movie than listening to an audiobook- but with narration from a third party telling you the scene etc.


6. Everything Tamora Pierce




Why? I have 17 Tamora Pierce titles on audio and they might be the most listened to books in my library. She chooses amazing narrators, the world building is incredible, and the stories are ones that will make you want to listen again and again.


So there you have it...just a few of the titles I listen to over and over again.

When you go back to an audiobook...what draws you back? What are your favorite audiobook listens?

A Simple Favor: Review

Let me start off by saying this...I don't often read thrillers.  Why? I have an overactive imagination and a third degree black belt. I'm not the kind of person who needs to feel freaked out or that something is watching me. Also, why I don't do haunted houses.  A Simple Favor is one of those books that you can't put down once you pick it up. It sucks you in and you just have to know how the story ends. I'm normally a pretty vocal reader- I'll laugh out loud at things that are funny, but I said a LOT of bad words while reading this book. There were so many WTF?! moments. I started reading it last night and had to put it down for the night and read something lighthearted(thanks Mutts comics) before bed. I picked it up again this morning, read for 2 hours before work, and finished it on my lunch break.  Wow. The story loops and pulls and wraps you in it so tightly that you won't know who the bad guy really is or if the whole story is just a delusi...

Top 3 Books of the Year

There is a great post on Goodreads right now about the Goodreads Team's Top 3 Reads of the Year. I love posts like that because they are so personal. Everyone loves different things for different reasons. Some of the top books are books that were written decades ago, but are new to the reader. I love those. My Top 3 Books of the Year are: -Kingdom of Ash by Sarah J Mass -Only Human by Sylvain Nuevel -The Loose Ends list by Carrie Firestone What are your top 3 reads of the year? What makes you choose a book as one of your top 3 reads of the year? For me: 1. Made me think 2. Made me feel 3. Put me in the character's shoes 4. Taught/ reminded me of a valuable lesson
