My Favorite Audiobooks of 2021

January 18, 2022 Lauretta Crites

I’ve always loved a good story and was a voracious reader from the time I could open a book. As a teenager I chose my purses based on how many paperbacks I could fit into them. As time went on however, I found it harder and harder to find time to read. The more time I spent quilting, the less time I had for reading. Audio books became my new BFF. I got hooked on them originally to make my daily snail crawl thru traffic on my commute into downtown Los Angeles while working for the Opera, endurable. Now they make any task not requiring huge concentration much more entertaining.

I have an Audible subscription with Amazon and I also check out audio books online through an app on my phone called Libby The Libby App by OverDrive: Free ebooks & audiobooks from the library I find it’s great to have both, Audible suggests books so I don’t have to search as much, and frequently I can find books recommended by Audible for free thru Libby.

The following are some of my favorite audio book listens from last year.

City of Girls - Elizabeth Gilbert

Midnight Sun - Stephanie Myer

Will - Will Smith, Mark Manson

Hamilton, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Jeremy McCarter

Say No to the Duke - Eloisa James

New York - Edward Rutherfurd

Be Frank with Me - Julia Claiborne Johnson

Meet me at Emotional Baggage Claim & My Nest isn’t Empty, it Just has more Closet Space & Best Friends, Occasional Enemies- Lisa Scottoline, Francesca Serritella

The Shoemaker’s Wife - Adriana Trigiani

Four Nights with the Duke - Eloisa James

Uprooted - Naomi Novik, Julia Emelin

Lost Roses - Martha Hall Kelly

The Diviners & Lair of Dreams & Before the Devil Breaks you & The King of Crows - Libba Bray

The Girls with No Names - Serena Burdick

The Highland Witch - Susan Fletcher

A Memory of Violets - Hazel Gaynor

A Stitch in Time - Kelley Armstrong

The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek - Kim Michele Richardson

Crown of Feathers & Heart of Flames -Nicki Pau Preto

if you haven’t listened to The Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon, or the A Discovery of Witches series by Deborah Harkness, I highly recommend them. They were my very favorites from 2020.

I’m always hunting for new stories, and I’d love to know YOUR favorite audiobooks!
