Top Ten Tuesday: Audiobooks

 

 

 



Welcome to this week's edition of Top Ten Tuesday which is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week the theme is book by debut authors that I am excited to read, but I have got nothing, so I am going to focus on the last 10 audiobooks that I have listened to. 




All This Could be Different by Sarah Thankam Mathews - This is the book I am currently listening to.



Mrs Harris Goes to Paris by Paul Gallico - I listened to this after watching the movie. It is different from the movie, and it probably shows it's age in some ways but it was still fun!





Hogfather by Terry Pratchett - I have listened to this in the run up to Christmas over the last couple of years.



Book Lovers by Emily Henry - Loved this audiobook. So much so that I recommended it to my boss who is now on an Emily Henry audiobook binge!





The Stand-In by Lily Chu - This was narrated by Philippa Soo, who starred in the musical version of Hamilton, and it was a lot of fun. I might listen to the next Lily Chu book next. Maybe.


Working Class Boy by Jimmy Barnes  - Jimmy Barnes is an Australian rock legend who had a rough start to life. This is his story of growing up in poverty with violence and alcoholism.





Love Stories by Trent Dalton - During the pandemic, Trent Dalton sat at a desk with a typewriter in the city and asked people to tell him their love stories, about all sorts of things, not only limited to romantic love


Before the Coffee Gets Cold: Tales from the Cafe by Toshikazu Kawaguchi - This is the second book in the Before the Coffee Gets Cold series.





Comfort Me With Apples by Catherynne Valente - a very odd story, told in a very compelling way.


Taste: My Life Through Food by Stanley Tucci - Listening to Stanley (yes, we are on first name basis) narrate this book was such a pleasure! Highly recommend



There's a bit of a mix of genres there. Surprisingly there is no historical fiction, Must fix that!

  1. I listened to Book Lovers last year and loved it. I hope to be able to read some more Emily Henry this year.

  2. Oh, I bet the Stanley Tucci book, narrated by Stanley (yes, we are on a first name basis, too) himself, was great.

  4. I haven't listened to Book Lovers on audio but I did Beach Read and it was awesome. It's the same narrator so I bet I would love Book Lovers too.....I just let my audible subscription go though, so might have to try borrowing it.

  5. I'm intrigued by Taste and would love to listen to Stanley Tucci read it! I always love when authors narrate their own books :)
