Sometimes life gets very busy that theres not much time to sit down and read a good book. That’s why audiobooks are so great. Audiobooks give you the opportunity to listen to books while you are doing other things. Below I have listed five audiobooks worth listening to right now.
Five Audiobooks Worth Listening To Right Now
The Girls by Emma Cline
The Girls (ad) by Emma Cline is a great read. This book is loosely inspired by the Manson cult. This story follows the main character Evie who spots a group of girls one day and quickly becomes obsessed with one of them who’s name is Suzanne. Her obsession with Suzanne leads Evie to want to hang out at the ranch and become as involved in their daily activities as possible. Throughout this book you get to see how Evie changes the more and more she hangs out with this group of people. You also get to see how far she’s willing to go to be as close to Suzanne as possible.
The ending was a bit underwhelming for me, and I definitely think it had the potential for more. Despite this, I definitely think it’s a must read. It’s fantastic as an audiobook.
The London House by Katherine Reay
If you are looking for a historical read then The London House (ad) by Katherine Reay is for you. This story follows Caroline Payne who is on a mission to prove her great aunt was not a traitor who abandoned her loved ones for a German Nazi.
Caroline reads through letters between her great aunt and grandmother looking for clues as to what really happened.
This story is beautifully written and definitely one to add to your TBR list.
My Dark Vanessa by Kate Elizabeth Russell
My Dark Vanessa (ad) was a phenomenal read. It’s definitely a book that should come with a trigger warning. So definitely skip ahead if you don’t want to read a book that has sexual abuse.
This story follows Vanessa who had a sexual relationship with her teacher when she was a teenager. My Dark Vanessa alternates between past and future as Vanessa looks back at what she went through, and as she tries to come to terms with what really happened to her.
