Welcome to this week's edition of Top Ten Tuesday which is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week the topic is Books Too Good to Review Properly (I have no words!) (Submitted by Dedra @ A Book Wanderer). I have decided instead to do a twist on this and do Books with No Words. Now it's not that the books don't have words, it's just that I listened to them and so I didn't actually do the reading.
So, here are the last ten books I listened to on audio.
Taste: My Life in Food by Stanley Tucci- read by Tucci himself. Very enjoyable.
Before the Coffee Goes Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi (translated by Geoffrey Trousselot) - Right now I am all about short, engaging audiobooks and this one fits the bill. I think that the follow up book to this will be my next audiobook.
The Hogfather by Terry Pratchett - Listened to this just before Christmas. Thinking I might do that again too.
The Winter Sea by Susanna Kearsley - One of my all time favourite books
The Sun Sister by Lucinda Riley - Part of the Seven Sisters series. I have listened to them all on audio.
The Roommate by Dervla McTiernan - Connected to the Cormac O'Reilly mystery series.
Normal People by Sally Rooney - You don't notice things like missing speach quotation marks when you are listening to a book instead of reading it.
The Switch by Beth O'Leary - One of the narrators of this book was Daisy Edgar-Jones who starred in the TV adapttion of Normal People.
The Good Turn by Dervla McTiernan - This is another of the books in the Cormac O'Reilly series. I think I have listened to them all on audio too.
The Bookshop on the Shore by Jenny Colgan - I enjoy Jenny Colgan's books and this is another author who I tend to read on audio instead of reading the book.
Have you listened to any of these?
Beth O'Leary's one of those authors who I instantly go for the audiobook of.
ReplyDeleteI have read one and listened to one. So I am happy with either!
DeleteThe Winter sEa looks nice. And I've never read Pratchett!
ReplyDeleteColgan's books always look nice as well.
The Switch looks fun!
It surprises me that you haven't read Pratchett Greg.
DeleteI find it much more difficult to review audiobooks.
ReplyDeleteI bet Terry Pratchett books are fabulous on audio.
I do think it is harder to review audiobooks Deb!
DeleteNice list! I love McTiernan and Colgan. I also really enjoy listening to books on audio while I'm driving and cleaning. It makes tedious tasks so much more pleasant!
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!
I used to listen a lot during my commute when I drove Susan but since I stopped driving it is much harder to find time.
DeleteWhat a fun twist!
ReplyDeleteThanks Deanna!
DeleteI have Beth O'Leary on my TBR list, maybe I should do it with audio books :) https://cindysbookcorner.blogspot.com/2022/02/top-ten-tuesday-wow-books.html
ReplyDeleteAlways worth a try Cindy!
DeleteI loved The Flatshare by Beth O'Leary. I really want to read The Switch too. I'm not much of an audio book fan, though, so I'll probably just read it myself. :)
ReplyDeleteEither way works Jenni Elyse!
DeleteI hate it when authors leave out quotation marks but since I usually listen to books, I don't notice that it happens often. Ha!
ReplyDeleteIt's a definite advantage Anne!
DeleteI have really gotten into audiobooks lately. I haven't read or listened to any of these, but love seeing which audiobooks click for others.
ReplyDeleteThere's so many great audiobook options out there Alicia!
DeleteI have also listened to Hogfather on audio during the last Christmas season. Was a fun book to listen to! I think I might join you and see if I can get Before the Coffee gets cold on audible.
ReplyDeleteLovely selection of audiobooks for me to check out. Whoo hoo!!

I am looking forward to listening to the follow up to Before the Coffee Gets Cold.
DeleteI've not listened to any of these, but I am a big audiobook lover!

Theres so many great audios out there!
DeleteI've read the physical/digital copies for some of these books but you've piqued my interest about their audios! I'm quite picky with audiobook narrators but will definitely keep these in mind to check out. Great list!
ReplyDeleteI do like rereading via audio!
DeleteVery creative twist on the prompt! I'm not a big audiobook fan, but I can see how it would help with Rooney's different writing style.
ReplyDeleteCertainly helped in this case Dedra!
DeleteA great twist on the topic. :-) I haven't listened to an audiobook since the beginning of the pandemic. :-(
ReplyDeleteI listen to a lot less than I used to.
