Welcome to another TTT! And happy April Fool’s Day! I actually hate this “holiday” lol. I don’t like pranks and lies and deception, but I thought this topic would be a fun way to acknowledge the day without lying to you and telling you I’m discontinuing TTT or deleting my blog or something else along those lines. lol. So the topic is: Books you’d be a Fool Not to Read. Share the books you think people must read for whatever reason. They could be your favorites, books you deem classics, books that you learned something important from, books you wish you’d read sooner, etc. You could even narrow it down to a specific genre and share the must-reads for that genre. Get creative!
I’ve decided to write about ten books that are better when you listen to them than when you read them with your eyes (yes, listening is reading too!). I love audiobooks, and I love them even more when the narrators are amazing or there are cool accents, neat sound effects, full casts, etc. So here are ten books that are amazing on their own, but even better in audiobook format.
The Cheat Sheet by Sarah Adams
I love Teddy Hamilton, and Renee Dorian was great, too! This is a comfort listen for me. It just makes me so happy. **This is closed-door**
A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
I love Jennifer Ikeda’s narration, but the GraphicAudio production took the entire series to a new level. I love the full cast and all the sound effects and music!
Take Me Back by Meghan March
I read this because of Andi Arndt, but the story ended up being so amazing that I’m pretty obsessed.
The Bridge Kingdom by Danielle L. Jensen
The audio is just amazing! I love both narrators, and the sound effects are awesome.
The Twelve Dates of Christmas by Jenny Bayliss
I don’t know if it was the circumstances under which I read this (cross stitching a gift for a friend by my Christmas tree) or what, but Elizabeth Knoweldon’s narration sounded so soothing and cozy and perfect for the story.
Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir
I think about the audio of this on a weekly basis. It’s so, so good. There’s an alien character, and the robotic voice done for him was so cool.
Call Me Maybe by Cara Bastone
Amazing narration, fun sound effects. This is another comfort listen I’ve read several times.
Heidi’s Guide to Four Letter Words by Tara Sivec and Andi Arndt
This is another book read by Andi Arndt, and I love her. Also, the book is about a podcaster, so I a lot of it sounds like a podcast! And it’s so funny!
The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren
I love these two narrators. Their on-air chemistry is amazing.
The Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst
This was a magical listen, and the voice the narrator came up with for Kaz (a spider plant) is so cute.
