Hi! I’m looking for your recommendations from the audible plus catalogue, I read most things apart form fantasy type stuff (witches etc).

i did post in the book section, but had no replies, so posting here for traffic 😀

I enjoyed all the Bill Bryson books, the Midnight Library and the Beekeeper of Aleppo.

I read the midnight library a little while ago and loved it! I’ll add the others to my list

I've had loads of good things from Audible plus. I'm currently listening to Frontier Grit by Marilyn Monson, 12 mini-biographies of fascinating women in the US west.
Other things I've really enjoyed (all non-fiction, I listen at work & do much better without a plot to follow)
From Miniskirt to Hijab - autobiography of an Iranian/English woman who was a teenage girl in Iran at the time of the revolution
Land of a Thousand Hills - biography of Rosamond Halsey Carr who lived in Rwanda from the 1940s until her death in 2006, and who in the wake of the genocide ended up running an orphanage in her 80s (I absolutely loved this, although unsurprisingly given Rwanda's history it is very sad in parts it's a wonderful book)
A Belfast Child - autobiography about growing up in the time of the Troubles
There Are No Children Here - story of children growing up in the Chicago projects
Ishi in Two Worlds - the story of the last survivor of the Yahi tribe of Native americans
Angrynomics - why if statistics say that GDP is going up and up are so many people broke and overworked and what can be done - great short explanation / polemic

I enjoyed the Elizabeth Edmondson books - they were really well written (straightforward family stories, done well).
