Engrossing/exciting audiobook recommendations

[Gingervitis]

I get through a lot of audiobooks, and I've finished the last few recommendations I got from MN!

I love things that are fast paced, thrilling, twisting, fantastical; psychologically intriguing, moving or horrifying. I also like a good fascinating autobiography/biography (Unnatural Causes, the Trauma Cleaner, This is going to hurt etc).

I loved Elinor Oliphant, The Cactus and Elvira Carr - love a human story.

I can't get along with lengthy, turgid, overly romantic, self-indulgent or descriptive books. Loathe love stories, but like triumph over adversity!

Any suggestions based on that? Thanks

The Heart's Incredible Furies by John Boyne
The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt
Do No Harm by Henry Marsh

I loved all of those, and I also liked Eleanor Oliphant and This Is Going To Hurt.

Thanks Wanda...off for a look now. Heard a lot about the Goldfinch...

Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies, both excellent audiobooks. I'm looking forward to the last in the trilogy - only 10 months to go!

If you like magic, the Rivers of London series is good although I'm a little fed up of Kobna Holdbrook-Smith's perky cockney women, and I liked The Watchmaker of Filigree Street enough to buy the author's second book.

For non-fiction I really enjoyed Alice Roberts' Tamed: Ten Species That Changed Our World and Adam Rutherford's A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived: The Stories in Our Genes, both read by their authors.

Thanks LibraryMiss...got a few to add to my wish list now!

Biography: Educated by Tara Westover. Becoming, Michelle Obama.
Fiction.: Girl, Woman, Other by Bernadine Evaristo.
How To Be Human by Matt Haig

These are my must listens from the past few months.

Thanks Millicent, I have How to be Human on the list actually!

Will go and check out the others, I'm contually swiping past the Michelle Obama book as it never occurred to me that it might be interesting, so thanks.

The Dry by Jane Harper. Well-written thriller set in Australia.

Do you use RB Digital? If you're a library member you should be able to access this system for free audio books.

Machines Like Me by Ian McEwan

Couple more for the list, ta!

Haven't heard of RB Digital and I'm not a library member - but it might be worth joining just for that, so I'll do some research. Ta for the tip! Audible is costing me a small fortune.
