I’ve got an audible credit going spare

[CormoranStrike]

Please can anyone recommend me a book?

I generally loved time fiction, but am open to other areas.

*crime fiction

Ooh definitely The Testaments by Margaret Attwood if you read / watched Handmaid's Tale. Brilliantly done, it's the best acted Audible text I've heard.

I love Audible and listen to loads of books. The one I am listening to right now is a true story called Agent Sonia by Ben MacIntyre. It is about a German woman who was a Russian spy. It is very compelling and one of the best books I have listened to. I also loved the Beekeeper of Aleppo.

Try the new Ellie Griffiths.

Thanks everyone

The Wolf Hall trilogy by Hilary Mantel, version read by Ben Miles

The new cormorant strike because it's nice and long, I feel I get my moneys worth with a nice long audiobook!

[CormoranStrike]

I’ve had the new CormoranStrike (user name lol)

[devildeepbluesea]

Fethering series by Simon Brett. I warn you: I've spent about £50 in extra credits getting through the series!

For light and frothy I have just loved “The Clutter Corpse” by Simon Brett, which kept me happily engrossed for a day painting garden furniture

Orlando Figes books are bloody fascinating, especially A People's Tragedy

[Outofexcuses]

Mick Herron's Slough House series - spy thrillers, really good. The first one is called Slow Horses.

[User478]

Damnit, I also came to say Troubled Blood.

I really like the Natalie Haynes books retelling Greek myths with a feminist slant, I think The Children of Jocasta has been my favourite so far but there is a new one about Pandora's box just out that my next credit is earmarked for.

[HeyLala]

I've just downloaded Piers Morgan.

Never thought I'd ever say that sentence 🤣

Can someone please explain to me how Audible works. I have got a voucher for six months' free and I haven't a clue what happens. I appreciate I sound stupid (put it down to the fact that I am in my 70s). Any help would be appreciated.

Rivers of London
The Left-Handed Booksellers of London
The Children of Jocasta
Mudlarking

[Disfordarkchocolate]

The Corset
The Five - wonderful.

I really enjoyed Lock In by John Scalzi. It's a little bit sci-fi, but much more of a crime novel than a sci-fi one. It's narrated by Will Wheaton who (slightly unexpectedly) turns out to be an excellent reader, really good with nuanced tone of voice.

I love a long book for just this reason! If I get 20+ hours out of my single credit, I’m a very happy bunny.

.Chronicles of T Mary's by Jodi Taylor, read by Zara Ramm.
First one is Just One Damned Thing after Another

I'm currently listening to Richard Osman's novel (Thursday Murder Club) - nice light, easy listening.
I listened to The Beekeeper of Aleppo recently - read by Art Malik. I could have listened to that forever.

@NUFC69 if you sign up online and enter your voucher code you will get 6 months of 1 credit each month ( 1 credit is enough for kne book no matter how cheap,or expensive it is, I go for the most expensive book I fancy!). Then you click buy and it takes the credit to pay for it. Then you can use the app if you've downloaded it or the laptop/desktop website to listen. I also get audiobooks for free via the library . I listen to them while doing house work or sometimes in bed at night. Hope this helps

[NUFC69]

Thank you, Sooverthemill, it really doesn't sound worth it for me then, if I am in reading mode I can get through three to five books a week usually with my Kindle app. I had this vision of listening to endless books....

Thanks for your help.

[Sooverthemill]

@NUFC69 then you need BorrowBox if whatever your library offers. Endless audiobooks
