Sadie by Courtney Summers is amazing as an audio book. It has a podcast element and the protagonist stutters when she speaks to other people. It's fully voice casted and it sounds really convincing. The podcast sounds just like a true crime podcast and the audio design etc. makes it feel like a audio drama. It's fantastic! (mayor trigger warnings though)

I love memoirs on audio, especially if they’re narrated by the author! I’ve loved Becoming, In the Dream House, and Know My Name the most but have listened to a couple others that were pretty good as well! It often just feels like the person is sitting in your living room or in your car with you just telling their life story. It feels like a conversation.

I'm seconding Comfort Me With Apples, the audiobook is so good, especially when the soft cadence of the voice breaks. Such an atmospheric book on its own but the narration just gives it an extra layer. I'd definitely recommend Over the Top by Jonathan Van Ness, JVN narrates it themselves and it is such an impactful, hard-hitting but also funny autobiography/memoir.

Great list! There are several on your list that I have read but others that I’ve been interested in reading. Project Hail Mary might be my next pick. I loved Trevor Noah’s memoir of growing up in South Africa. He narrates it and grew up speaking the different dialects of the area. He incorporates that so well that it brings the story to life. Another audiobook that I picked up a couple of years ago is Gingerbread by Helen Oyeyemi. The story is bizarre Hansel and Gretel tale with a twist. What raised it for me is her reading of it. Another English accent and so smooth that she draws you in. Unfortunately she doesn’t read all of her books.

I recently listened to Remains of the Day narrated by Dominic West and it was fantastic. First person narration and memoirs read by the author are two of my favourite things to listen to. Samantha Irby reading her own essays is an amazing experience. I also really enjoy listening to classics on audio as I find them easier to get through that way and there’s usually a good choice of narrators because they’re in the public domain so you can find a recording that works for you (sometimes I go for an audio dramatisation instead of an unabridged reading, especially for really long classics 😅).

I am so grateful I randomly decided to read it on audiobook and not print, because I don't think I would've loved it as much as I did if I had (and it was my #1 book of the year). I also recently listened to and loved Magical Midlife Madness by K. F. Breene, whose narrator totally made the book with her HILARIOUS voices for each character. A true audiobook gem.

Non-fiction: Crying in H-Mart (Michelle Zauner)- The author reads the book. Given that she's also a musical artist (lead singer in Japanese Breakfast) there is something incredibly lyrical about her narration. And, given that it is a story of learning your culture and suffering through grief through the lens of eating/cooking Korean food, it's so powerful to listen to. Fiction: Beach Read (Emily Henry) - I know you're not into romance, but...hear me out. This book seems so much more "real" than most romances. Julia Whelan is a masterful narrator and does so well bringing the characters and their pain to life.

My favorite audiobook of all time is Lanny by Max Porter! It's a full cast, and because of how the book is written I can't imagine having read it without the audio (I read a physical copy alongside the audio). There are parts of the book that are snippets of conversation from random townspeople, and the chorus of their voices felt so essential. Plus there are multiple POVs with each their own narrator and all of them are so perfectly cast. Sort of a magical story about community and family and myth and the audio feels just like a fairy tale. Also, it's super short, so low commitment :)

I am trying to listen to more audiobooks this year as well as diversify my reading. I want to read Project Hail Mary, so maybe I should try listening to it instead. Added Dowry of Blood, Mrs Death Misses death and Midnight Bargain in my list as well ☺

Moira Quirk is one of my FAVORITE narrators! Even when I don't like the story, I enjoy her narration.

I know I'm just watching through your backlist videos lol but have you checked out Impact Winter on Audible? It's literally like you're listening to a movie...sound effects and everything. It's so good! I loved it.

I can't listen to books, I just don't have that kind of atention.. I tried so many times but I always get lost in the things I do and pages go by before I even understand what happend. But still loved the video

The Poppy War was kind of intimidating to me as someone who hadn’t read fantasy in a few years, but I absolutely flew through the audiobook. Highly recommend!

I also love listening to classic juvenile fiction on audio, makes it feel like story time. Anne of Green Gables and Howl’s Moving Castle were a real comfort on audio.

The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires audiobook is so good. I didn't listen to all of it, but I listened to parts of it between reading it with my eyeballs.

Joe Ide's "IQ" series is amazing on audiobook, the narrator (Sullivan Jones) has a great voice that's just pleasant to listen to. I also enjoyed the narration for "Rules for Vanishing," I probably wouldn't have gotten as much into it on paper as I did through audio.

I’m currently listening to Special Topics in Calamity Physics read by Emily Janice Card and she does such a good job! I haven’t finished it yet, so I can’t fully recommend the book itself, but the audio experience is great- one of the best I’ve listened too honestly.

I LOVE The Murderbot Diaries on audiobook. The narrator, Kevin R. Free, is fantastic. He embodies the character perfectly. The City We Became by N.K. Jemisin is great on audio. My favorite narrator does this one, Robin Miles. There's some music cues in it and Robin does this amazingly creepy laugh that gave me goosebumps. It's soooo good.

My fav audiobook from 2021 (besides Project Hail Mary) was Never Saw Me Coming by Vera Kurian, narrated by Brittany Pressley. The protagonist is a psychopath who does questionable things, doesn’t care about consequences to her actions, manipulates everyone around her and you can‘t help but like her and root for her. And the audio book narration gave her the perfect voice in my opinion and made the reading experience a lot of fun.

I totally agree with what you said about some narrators being 'perfectly cast'. Authority by Jeff Vandermeer has incredible casting, I don't think the audiobook would have been nearly as incredible (or even make sense) without Bronson Pinchot narrating.
