Best of 2023: Great on Audio

You won't want to be caught without your headphones

Welcome to 'Best Of' week! I've spent the last few weeks reflecting on my reading year and distilled my favorite reading experiences into a few categories. Each day this week, I'll share a list from one category. Culminating with my Top 10 on Friday.

I was never much of an audiobook listener. When we lived in New York, I found it too hard to concentrate on an audiobook while walking or riding the train on my commute. When the pandemic hit, I started dipping my toes into audiobooks, but I cannot multitask and listen. Over the past few years, I've found a routine that works for me, and I've really enjoyed the experience of listening to a book.

My two favorite times to listen to an audiobook now are on long walks around the cove near our house. And while crocheting. I spent a lot of time doing both of those things in 2023, which resulted in listening to more audiobooks than I ever have.

It takes the right story and narrator for an audiobook to work. And these five titles worked for me! Non-fiction, romance, and mystery kept me reaching for my headphones while reading these books.
