I have two credits to use. What would you recommend?

I don't like romance, self-help, politics, or history.

Project Hail Mary - sci fi. Didn’t think it was my thing, but couldn’t stop thinking about it and had to keep hiding myself away for sneaky listens!

What do you like? Mystery, thriller, humour, adventure, sci-fi...
If you like Midsomer murders the audio books are good.

ChickenJeffrey · 30/07/2024 16:48

I second Project hail Mary, I know you said no history but 11/22/63 was excellent.

veritasverity · 30/07/2024 16:49

If you like sci-fi and love dogs 'watchers' by Dean Koontz is quite exciting and fast paced with a good beginning, middle and end....seems a rare find with authors these days!

Project Hail Mary, so brilliantly read. It's not any of your chosen genres but it's worth it.

WafflingDreamer · 30/07/2024 17:00

I've just listened to In memorian by Alice Winn. It's about the relationship between two boys in private school who end up fighting in WWI it was really good.

Anything John Boyne is always a good listen. The hearts invisible furies is one of my favourites it's about a man who was born to a teenage girl in Ireland in the 1940's who gives him up for adoption.

I also really like Matt Coyne's Frank and Red for a really easy listen.

The Fellowship of Puzzlemakers , light hearted

I'm a bit late to the game, but I'm having a great time with Susan Hill's The Shadows in the Street.

I also loved Project Hail Mary and Ready Player One, chose them both based on repeated recommended here, and am hooked on the Cormoran Strike books too. The Rivers of London series are also very well narrated and get recommended a lot on MN, and Mick Herron's Slow Horses series. I've just realised these are all read by men – my ear obviously has a bias. I've listened to the Strike, Rivers and Horses books at least twice each.

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 30/07/2024 17:17

I enjoyed Starter Villain by John Scalzi, it's fast moving and funny, and has talking cats. What's not to like.

Educated by Tara Westover.

I still think of it after 5/6 years. An autobiography by a woman raised off grid in the mountains of Idaho. She eventually went to uni.

It was all the medical/midwife stuff that stayed with me.

My family and other rock stars by Tiffany Murray
Taste by Stanley Tucci
the Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver

I never liked the Robert Galbraith books. I found them a bit too long and wordy.

I will try Project Hail Mary as a LOVED the Martian.
