    Like the title says I’m looking for good audio books. I have audible and I love fantasy books like Brandon Sanderson or Joe Abercrombie but I haven’t listened to any fantasy on audio. I’m worried I won’t get as much out of the book/be confused because I don’t always pay attention. I typically go for romance or biographies but am open to any genre.

    1. I tend to do nonfiction on audiobooks for the same reason! When I listen to fiction it’s normally something I’ve read before.

      I dearly love David Attenborough’s memoir, “Life of Air: Memoirs of a Broadcaster” – it’s 19 hours of him telling you about his life. All the animal stuff but also a really interesting history of the BBC.

      For fiction I read a lot of fantasy and really like Naomi Novik’s narrators for all of her books (particularly “Spinning Silver”). “The Adventures of Amina al-Sarafi” by S. A. Chakraborty also had two great narrators.

    2. The whole Dresden Files series is narrated by the guy who played Spike on the Buffy show and they’re marvelous.

      “HARRY DRESDEN — WIZARD

      Lost Items Found. Paranormal Investigations. Consulting. Advice. Reasonable Rates. No Love Potions, Endless Purses, or Other Entertainment.

      Harry Dresden is the best at what he does. Well, technically, he’s the only at what he does. So when the Chicago P.D. has a case that transcends mortal creativity or capability, they come to him for answers. For the “everyday” world is actually full of strange and magical things—and most don’t play well with humans. That’s where Harry comes in. Takes a wizard to catch a—well, whatever. There’s just one problem. Business, to put it mildly, stinks.

      So when the police bring him in to consult on a grisly double murder committed with black magic, Harry’s seeing dollar signs. But where there’s black magic, there’s a black mage behind it. And now that mage knows Harry’s name. And that’s when things start to get interesting.

      Magic – it can get a guy killed.”
