I can't really remember any time when I wasn't reading. I LOVE books and what they give me. It's an opportunity to learn new things, see new places,live different emotions in a "safe" way. It lets me live in a new world.
I read all types of books but my favorites are urban fantasy and romantic suspense.I like some romance and some action / adventure / mystery in everything.I like sex in my books but please, only between TWO people.Intimate conversation is equally important to the sex in a book.It lets me see the characters.The other thing I enjoy is humor.

I’d love to listen to a few of these, especially The Guest List?
I highly recommend The Guest List with the way all the plot details come together and superb narration.
Nice lists, ladies? I loved the narrations in The Guest List & In a Holidaze.
Thank you! I listened to over 150 audiobooks this year SO FAR and this is the cream of the crop.
I loved Murder on Cold Street, Network Effect, and Aurora Burning, too. Great picks, gals!
We have such great audiobooks to read. It was hard to narrow down but we picked some of the same ones.
Both Murder on Cold Street by Sherry Thomas, narrated by Kate Reading and Emerald Blaze by Ilona Andrews by Ilona Andrews, narrated by Emily Rankin are in my top 10 as well. Oops… I only read Emerald Blaze – I’ll listen in 2021. Eep! Great lists, ladies!
Thank you ! We are lucky to have so many amazing audiobooks.
I don’t think that I listened to a lot of audiobooks that were actually published this year. I do see a lot of your lists that I hope to get to someday.
I hope you do as they are the best of the best audios.
I listened to A Cold Trail recently. The narrator earned 5 stars from me. I’ve read In a Holidaze and loved it.
I’m a huge fan of Tracy Crosswhite series and Robert Dugoni in general. I like a variety of genres in my reading and it shows up in my favorites. The audio top 10 is a way to get 20 favorites.
Wow, 20 books and I haven’t read a one! I’m hoping to squeeze in Holidaze before the end of the year. Good to know it was good on audio, I might go that route.
Wait a minute! I thought you read Unwind by Neal Shusterman and said it was so sad? Well now you’ve got some great options. Many are from series though where I would start at the beginning.
Holidaze is totally a cute Holiday read.
I didn’t listen to any audiobooks this year. I started one, but then the pandemic hit and that was it for my listening time. 🙁 Several of the books on your favorites lists I am interested in reading though–so thank you for the recommendations!
I only started listening to audio in 2015. I started listening while driving between MN and NC, and while packing or unpacking. But over the years, I have added listening to all sorts of activities. It’s seamless in my life these days.
I loved The Guest List on audio! The accents and different narrators made for a 5 star “read” for me! 🙂
It was a 5 star for me! I really loved it.
