Good morning everyone and happy Friday. I took part in the 2024 Audiobook Challenge to try and listen to more audiobooks. I managed the 12 books featured which I’m a little bit disappointed with tbh as I was hoping to get through more. I did read some books part listening and part reading too which I enjoyed as I thought it helped bring the story to life.
I am hoping to listen to more books this year and hopefully beat this amount. I’m planing on doing more walking again and trying to keep up with the housework more which are ideal situations to listen to audiobooks.
Out of the books featured above my favourite was The Glassmaker as I loved hearing the author pronounce the Italian properly. I also loved Under Your Spell as it was a really gripping, easy read.
Huge thanks to Librofm for providing me with bookseller ALC’s and Bookbeat for providing me with even more choices.
Do you listen to audiobooks? Any recommendations for me?

Well done! No need to feel disappointed, you can build up your listening time but you made a great start! I love audiobooks, I honestly don’t know how I’d get through the various chores around the house and in the garden without them 😂

You managed more than I did. Three was my total, I think. I’m a bit of a late convert to audiobooks and no good at listening to them while doing something else, ideal though that would be. I agree with you that books with foreign names really lend themselves to audio. I find the narrator is really important. Some read so slowly I have to up the speed. I’m listening to The Secret History by Donna Tartt for my book club (read it too long ago to remember properly) and it’s 22 hours long!
