Uplifting audiobook recommendation needed to declutter to

[Doable]

I have a day of decluttering and cleaning ahead and need something to listen to.
What have you enjoyed recently?

Must it be an audio book or could it be a podcast?

The Blue Book of Nebo

You are Here David Nicholls

Goshawk Summer

Pied Piper by Neville Shute

I've just finished listening to Kate Atkinson's 'Shrines of Gaiety' read by Jason Watkins. Not uplifting as such but a cracking listen.

'Dear Reader' by Cathy Rentzenbrink (I think she read the book too) was short but lovely.

My go to author on long journeys is Maeve Binchy, particularly the audio books read by her niece Kate.

The Jodie Taylor 'Chronicles of St Mary's' and 'Time Police' series. So sad I have now heard them all.

Currently listening to Project Hail Mary which is wonderful and I heard about from recommendations on here.

A podcast recommendation would be very welcome 😄

I love a bit of Sherlock Holmes read by Stephen Fry. Solar by Ian McEwan read by Roger Allam. The Ghost by Robert Harris. House of Cards

I recommend both of these too. In fact, all of Jodi Taylor's books.

Thank you for the brilliant suggestions!

I’m on Sherlock Holmes by Stephen Fry now, but I love biographies and just finished Tom Jones….the narrator was fantastic, and I loved it.

On BBC Sounds just now:

Careering
How to Kill Your Family
People Who Knew Me
The Flatshare
Dark Matter

I had a weird day house clearing an empty house on my own listening to an audiobook about a long distance walk. It wasn’t particularly an uplifting one as it was a journalist doing it to get over trauma but it was fascinating and took me right out of the actual drudgery of what I was doing. I have very strange memories of that day as I was doing one thing but my head was deep
in a completely different country! Non-fiction is good for these things I think as you can let your concentration dip if need be without feeling like having to go back and relisten to what you might have missed.

Do you remember the name of the book coughsweet? I have The Salt Path on my reading list which sounds similar.

Yes, it was this one
