Best nonfiction audiobook full#
( Full review here)īeing Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End by Atul Gawande, narrated by Robert Petkoff. Note that because it’s a war and POW account, it has some fairly graphic descriptions of those experiences. Edward Herrmann (the grandfather in Gilmore Girls) is THE perfect narrator – I was absorbed for the entire book. This biography of Louis Zamperini, an Olympic runner hopeful whose dreams get put on hold because of WWII and becomes an Air Force pilot, who is shot down during a mission and survives on a life raft for 30 days before becoming a prisoner of war is incredible. Its been more than six years since I listened to this book and I still remember vividly where I was for certain parts of the book – a grocery store parking lot where I sat for 10 minutes because I couldn’t stand to turn it off, folding laundry and thinking it was the best excuse ever to listen to a bit more. Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption by Laura Hillenbrand, narrated by Edward Herrmann. Also, I am truly obsessed with Katherine Kellgren as a narrator (she also did the whole Bloody Jack series) and I’m devastated by her early death last year from cancer. It’s full of laughs and truly ridiculously plot twists and it’s probably the most fun I’ve ever had listening to an audiobook. It’s based VERY loosely on the true story of Lady Jane Grey who was Queen of England for a whopping 9 days before she was killed.
This is hands down the MOST fun audiobook you can listen to (and the ones I’ve gotten more positive feedback on than almost any other book I’ve ever recommended). My Lady Jane by Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows, narrated by Katherine Kellgren. Whether you’re new to audiobooks or an old hat, I hope you’ll find a new favorite on this list of the best audiobooks I’ve enjoyed. Whether you’re looking for a fiction audiobook with a killer storyline or a non-fiction audiobook that will keep you hooked, these are ten of the very best audiobooks I’ve listened to over the years (and l’ve listened to HUNDREDS). I get asked all the time about what audiobooks are particularly good. They keep my children entertained during quiet time or on long drives together.īasically, this blog is, in large part, a love letter to audiobooks. They make folding laundry, going for a run, or making dinner much less tedious.
