5 Great Audiobooks To Listen To Right Now!

You probably have a lot of spare time on your hands right now. Maybe you’re spending it trying new recipes, starting that blog you never got to, or re-organizing your closet. Whatever it is you’re up to, it’s nice to have a  friendly voice around, and audiobooks are a great option to try. Yes, podcasts are awesome too, but audiobooks are longer, taking you out of current reality, and usually have a soothing voice.

If you’re new to the world of audiobooks, here are some great options for your first listen!

1. If you love a good fiction book: Daisy Jones and The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid

Enter the world of love and rock and roll. Set in the '70s, an up-and-coming band called “the six” and a young singer named Daisy Jones come together to create an unforgettable story of music. Narrated by familiar voices such as Jennifer Beals and Judy Greer, the book is soon to be a 13-episode series on Amazon.

2. If you love a good autobiography: Becoming by Michelle Obama

Netflix just announced a documentary based on the book.

3. If you want some self-help: You Are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life by Jen Sincero

A blunt, to-the-point guide on how to live your best life. Narrated by the author herself, Jen Sincero shares hilarious and inspiring stories, exercises, and the occasional curse word.

5. If you want a suspenseful thriller: One of Us is Lying by Karen M. McManus

If you were a fan of "Pretty Little Liars", you’ll love this book. It’s the story of five strangers who walk into detention and only four walk out alive… It’s a Clue-like whodunnit that will keep you enthralled throughout.
