Confession: I do about half my reading via audiobook. I listen to audiobooks pretty much constantly; in the car, before bed, while cooking. Sometimes I listen in the shower, or while also playing video games, or while walking my dog. I love audiobooks. They help me squeeze books into moments that would be otherwise tragically bookless.
Children of Blood and Bone by Toni Adeyemi, narrated by Bahni Turpin You definitely don't need me to tell you to read this book, but listening to it brings me just a little bit closer to the animated series of my absolute dreams. Plus Bahni Turpin is practically audiobook reader royalty; she's also read The Hate You Give by Angie Thomas, They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera and The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead.

A talented audiobook narrator makes for a memorable listening experience. Great audio performances elevate and enhance a book and pull you in, going beyond on-paper reading for an immersive event. I feel the same joy discovering an excellent narrator as I do when finding a new favorite author.
If a narrator has a long backlist of titles (books that are already published, or in this case, recorded), there are hours and hours of listening ahead of you. Services like Libro.fm, Audible, and other audiobook services allow you to search by narrator, and I make good use of this feature. Many narrators also have websites listing their notable works or, sometimes, their entire audiobook catalog.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this! I love listening to audiobooks while doing mundane chores. A narrator definitely makes or breaks the book! I am so excited to check out some of these new recommendations!
I just listened to my first audiobook read by Nadia May and her narration was fantastic! She did American, Scottish, and English accents well and really set the scene for an Agatha Christie mystery (The Secret Adversary). She has done some Austen novels as well which may be my next listen.
Julia Whelen is fantastic! And Patti Callahan Henry is one of my favorite authors so I will definitely check out the audio recommendation for her book listed here. Audio books are like theater and the narrator truly makes all the difference! Lucy Price-Lewis, Steve West and Cassandra Campbell are also fantastic narrators.
I always have such a hard time picking an audiobook and frequently DNF, but there are others that I have loved. I definitely second Cassandra Campbell (My Dear Hamilton), Julia Whelan (Educated) and Bahni Turpin (The Hate You Give). I also loved the narrator of Katherine Kellgren (My Dear Jane) who sadly passed away.
The first narrator I listened to and wanted to search their backlist was Amy McFadden. Easy to listen to and multitask audiobooks are my favorite. Really enjoyed The Overdue Life of Amy Bylar by Kelly Harms, Matchmaking for Beginners by Maddie Dawson, Life and Other Near-Death Experiences & Woman Last Seen in Her Thirties by Camille Pagan.
I have been using Libby since Covid lockdowns, but just started using it for audiobooks. Such a better experience than the radio to get to work. Poet X was my first. But I have to mention that Kristen Bell (Veronica Mars herself) narrates The Thousand Dollar Tan Line by Rob Thomas and does each character uniquely. Very entertaining.
