Top 10 Best Audiobooks | 2022 edition 

One of my ALL TIME FAVOURITE audio books were for the illuminae files like the PRODUCTION🤯

Okay so I finally read the Lunar Chronicles for the first time this year (I know, I’m so late to the party 😅), and I did the audiobooks. My word, it’s one of the best audiobook series I’ve read in a long time. The narrator is just so fantastic and managed to capture each of the characters so well

5:51 "it's me, hi" I'm the problem it's me

OMG, the project hale marry is one of my favorite books of all time and it’s all because of you. I remember seeing a video a few months ago where you talked about it and I immediately ran and got the audiobook and finished it so quickly. it’s amazing! I recommended it to everyone I know I love it so much!

all of Taylor Jenkins Reids audiobooks are SO GOOD

Love the chaotic beginning as always 🤣 I've never tried audiobooks... but you're on your way to convincing me to try! Just wanted to say also that your writing journey is so inspiring for my own goals - I've been watching you for over 10 years (can't believe it myself!) but I've never commented - just not something I've ever done, but today I just randomly thought... why not? 🤣 You've been instrumental in keeping me on my booklover game (thanks for the reminder about Defend the Dawn release!) throughout my life, in school and university and through heartbreak and trying to adult and hating my jobs and losing and gaining friends. The fact that you're a swiftie also helps in my appreciation of you and your content! ❤ I just wanted to say thanks for being you and providing this entertainment for all these years - can't wait for what's to come next for you!

I absolutely love the Salt to the Sea audio book! It was full cast and the actors put so much love and care into their performance

I am visually impaired and grew up reading audiobooks if it wasn’t for them I would’ve never develop my love of reading and adults of an act like it wasn’t as important or valuable or worthwhile as reading print that it was made really mad and so now I’m super happy that nowadays many people particularly adults busy with work and family find audiobooks to be way more convenient useful and easy to consume then print

I’ve just gotten into audio books and have been listening to Sarah J Maas books and I am LOVING it -so I am very excited your new recommendations😁 thank you for sharing!

i'm like strictly an audiobook gal because i'm a grad student with no time but a long commute to fill my time so this video was so nice to have! and i LOVED the audiobooks for your books, christine! i thought they fit the tone of the books so well

I loved the Wizards of Once Audiobooks read by David Tennant. (Also, you are absolutely killing it with the uploads lately!)

Christine talking about her books and saying “it’s me, hi” at 5:52 had my Taylor Swift fan brain celebrating 🤣🤣🤣

I agree with Project Hail Mary! Best audiobook I read this year. I don’t really pick up a lot of sci-fis, but this book gripped me. It was a complete surprise to me how much I loved it.

i have been WAITING for Christine's recommendations on new audio books for so long, GOD BLESS :)

I’ve been looking to get into audiobooks, so this is perfect!! Going to go check a few of these out, thank you!!!

omg yes the Red, White & Royal Blue audiobook is one of my favs too! I’ve listened to to at least 6 times by now and never actually read the physical book (but I do own it) 😄 another favorite of mine is ‘This Thing of Darkness‘ by Harry Thompson, it’s long but the narration is so amazingly done and the book is also ver well written!

I've been DYING to find some new audiobook recommendations so thank you sm for this

00:00 As an adult, I try to read a lot, and audiobooks are the best way to do that. I love listening to audiobooks while doing laundry, doing dishes, or going for a walk with the dog. Book Explosion 01:39 These books are so much fun. They have the best audio books, and it's so easy to slip into the world and become really invested, and that's my favorite kind of fantasy. 02:21 There's a plague plaguing the kingdom and the plant they need to make the antidote is only in certain regions. The lead character, Tessa, is an apothecarian and she's stealing supplies with the help of a vigilant T. 02:59 It's got romance, it's got intrigue, and it's got a freaking amazing audiobook. I'm excited to jump into it. Red White Royal Blue 03:20 We have red, white and Royal Blue and I've listened to this book three times since the first time I had it in for like two straight days or one straight. It helps me get to sleep. 04:00 Red, white, royal blue is a great story about a rom-com between the first son of the United States and the Prince of England. The audiobook is so good. The anthropocene 04:56 John Green reads the Anthropocene reviewed and talks about his experience with it. He says that the book is thought provoking and heartwarming at times, and that he's still thinking about another Percy Jackson book. Christine Riccio 05:37 Christine Riccio's Better Audiobook and Better Together Audiobook are fantastic and I highly recommend them if you like audiobooks. Brit Presley did the audiobook and she is fantastic, I got lost in the story and that's a beautiful thing folks. 06:50 My second novel, Better Together, has two points of view, so I got two audiobook narrators, Presley and Carissa Backer. They are both excellent. 07:09 Two sisters are going through a core life crisis and finding love. It's a great audiobook. Hank Green 07:44 These audiobooks were so good, I felt like I was watching the movies as I listened to them. If you're an internet person, you're gonna feel a lot of things. The Atlas Six 08:12 I've been talking about this book a lot lately because I read it this year and I freaking love it. The audiobook really made it for me because the narrators were phenomenal and I knew everyone's voices. 08:58 All of the books from now on are really good, but my favorite is Tower of Dawn by Sarah J. Maas. Tower of Dawn 09:13 Tower of Dawn is a fantastic book that will win you over if you like Sarah Davis's other books. Get it, listen to it, and read it before you finish the Throne of Glass series. Book Lovers 09:57 Emily Henry's People You Meet on Vacation, Book Lovers, and The People Who Meet On Vacation All Fantastic are all narrated by Julia Whelan, and each book is an amazing, fantastic, phenomenal, top-tier favorite book of all time of my book. 11:09 This is one of the only books that I used the bookmark feature on my Um. audiobook app to write down what I loved so much about it. Ninth House 11:38 The End of Like 2020 is a rated R book that I listened to on my Christmas break. It's very creepy, and I cannot wait to read it. 12:35 Taylor Jenkins reads novels via audiobook. Julia Whelan provides an excellent read for Malibu Rising, my favorite Taylor Jenkins Reads book. 13:12 I just finished Carrie Soto is Back. The narrator grew on me, but I think that has more to do with Carrie Soto as a character than the narrator. The Good Girls Guide to Murder 14:18 I wish I filmed myself listening to the last six hours of this book. I think I cleaned my entire house without really paying attention to the house. 14:50 If you have any interest in the True Crime genre, I think this is an amazing starting series. You have to finish this series, though, because it is so good. The Hail Mary Project 15:39 The Hail Mary Project is an audiobook about a team of people who have to try to save Earth from an Earth-ending event. They go on a long shot to try to find another planet or to try to figure out what's happening so they can stop this. 17:00 If you've watched Interstellar and loved it, you'll get the same feelings reading this book. I loved this book so much that I drew fan art for it and put it on the refrigerator. 18:09 Christine, an author, makes videos every Sunday. You can pre-order her second novel better in the description.

This was really entertaining, so thank you for the recommendations. I haven't read any of these books yet. I don't read too many audiobooks, but my go-to for falling asleep (LOL) is Murakami. Other than that, the Raven Cycle has really good audiobooks. Legendary even. The narrator does a fantastic job.

I’ve listened to about half of these and absolutely adored them!! ❤ I highly recommend the Prison Healer trilogy!! It’s an amazing YA fantasy trilogy that’s strongly character based with amazing romance and gorgeous audiobooks!!

Christine I'm trying to get into audiobooks so thank you so much

so my all-time favorite audiobook is a nostalgia pick that I have been relistening to constantly since I was a kid, Chasing Vermeer by Blue Balliet, which has two middle schoolers solve and art crime. But my more recent favorite audiobook has to be The Kingdom of Back by Marie Lu. Just something about the way the audiobook narrator speaks is absolutely perfect for sucking me so deep into the world and the story. High key recommend checking both of these out!

Listened to both your books and the audiobooks really are good! :)

Yes some audio book recommendations! I recently listed to I'm Glad my Mom Died and LOVED it, and I've needed some recommendations for what to pick up next. (Also I'm halfway through Better Together and the lolss are amazing.)

I didn’t like audiobooks until I listened to The Hobbit. Just the first few minutes of chapter one are so immersive because it has nice music and sound effects. I very highly recommend it :) I thought it was boring when I tried to read it a few years ago but trying out chapter one of the audiobook on Spotify made me want to try reading the whole thing!

I originally checked out a physical copy of Project Hail Mary from my library and in two weeks, I got to chapter 8. I was really interested in the story, but the physical reading of all that math made it hard for me to get through it. I decided to buy the audiobook and I finished the book that day, because it was so incredible! I had no idea how incredible this book was going to be and how many tears I would cry, but I'm so thankful I read it!

I loved the book lovers audiobook I listened to. Charlie’s voice was 👌

i loved all of these recs! i totally agree with people we meet on vacation, beach read, and malibu rising! i loved all of those audio books. and now i’m currently on book lovers! and i tried to listen to project hail mary…. and i gave up like half way through. it honestly wasn’t the book, i think i just have to read sci-fi/fantasy books with my eyes in order to fully appreciate them. so maybe one day i’ll pick up the physical book or maybe give the audio book another chance :) one audio book i would recommend is beautiful world, where are you by sally rooney - that audio book was beautiful! i couldn’t stop listening!!

My recent favs are Dial A for Aunties by Jesse Q. Sutanto, Pet by Akwaeke Emezi, and Sadie by Courtney Summers

The Sandman Act I, II and III !!! i'm not much of an audiobook person (i don't have the attention span and I find it difficult to follow a story via audio unfortunately) but I was so intrigued by the story and the fact James Mcavoy voiced the lead character, Morpehus, that I finally decided to try it. It was easily one of best unique experience I've ever had. It is very immersive that the audio feels like I was watching a movie by picturing the scenes in my mind

These are more New Adult recs but The Ravenhood series audiobooks are SOSOSO good!!! Full cast in those as well. Also, I love the Kingdom of the Wicked audiobooks, the production is so good in those.

I loved Ninth House, The Night Circus, The Raven Boys, City of Bones, Cinder, A Discovery of Witches.

Again, but Better is one of my go to comfort audiobooks!

I love everything by Elizabeth Acevedo. She has two poetry-style novels and one traditional novel. She narrates her own books and they make me emotional every time I read one! Also, Circe by Madeline Miller. Really good audiobook.

I mean I think I’ve just been consumed by midnight cause when you were talking about your books (both of which I love by the way❤❤❤) I thought the it’s me hi was a Taylor reference. This was all before remembering you probs filmed this before it came out. Taylor has taken over my life. Loved the video!!!!!

I have only just started getting into audio books and they have changed my life!!! Thanks for the recs! I absolutely loved I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy and currently listening to Girl Friends by Holly Bourne which is so good!!!

I freaking love defy the night so much. I’m so excited to read defend the Dawn

Listen, the audiobook for Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall is NEXT LEVEL. Honestly, I'd say it's tied for number one for me with the Scythe series. It's my comfort listen the same way rwarb is for you. And I know you've talked about it before, but Six of Crows is also so freaking fantastic. I've probably re-listened upwards of five times since it came out because it's just so excellent.

i exclusively read through audiobooks now. i have the time to read with my eyes but for some reason i just can't focus anymore. i have to have my hands doing SOMETHING to focus, so playing mindless games and doing housework are so helpful to me.

I only started listening to audiobooks last year and that is a majority of the way I read books now! I agree that with non fiction books I can now only really read via audiobooks. Also when it comes to “classics” I definitely have to do audiobooks because I won’t understand it otherwise. Some audiobooks I’ve really enjoyed are Atlas Six, Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, Daisy Jones & the Six, Caraval series, The Light We Lost.

THANK YOU CHRISTINE

Okay but like why do we have the exact same book taste? I’ve listened to almost all of those audiobooks and they were all AMAZING 🥰

I loved the audiobook of Sadie and the alien audiobooks are also really good. Really enjoy them.

The original War of the Worlds is still an amazing story. Jeff Wayne's Musical Version is also awesome, Lights off, now get comfy and journey to another time.

Some of my personal favourite audiobooks: An Ember in the Ashes series Anxious People Six of Crows duology We Hunt the Flame Kith and Kin (for critical role fans)

Two videos in two days?! Who are you?💕💕 weird but fucking beautiful

The invisible life of Addie La Rue had me sobbing! V.E Schwab perfectly encapsulated what it feels like to be in your mid-twenties and feel like you're behind in life. This book made me think so much! Ninth house was MASTERFULLY written! It felt like i was uncovering a puzzle piece with every chapter i read. Which is what Leigh is so great at but this book takes it to a new level.

My favorite audiobooks are the You series by caroline kepnes, and My Dark Vanessa. Even if you've read these books with your eyeballs you should still listen to the Audiobooks.

I still haven't started As Good As Dead... Every single time you mention it you make me want to drop everything and read it. I don't know if I can handle the beginning just yet though, I'm still dealing with the aftermath of Midnights and Doctor Who right now... 😭😂🙈

My favorite audio book of all time is Again, But Better. I have literally listened to it at least 20 times!!!

Have you listened to The Paris Apartment by Lucy Foley? I love how they utilize a full cast of voice actors to tell the story from different perspectives

Christine, you should do the audiobook for The No-Show by Beth O'Leary. Three narrators, and one of them is Evanna Lynch! It's excellent

The Diviners series have INCREDIBLE, full cast audio books!!

Please read the Mirror Visitor!!! This audio book and story truly immersed me. Please :(

I really enjoyed A Third of Infinity by William Burkhart.

Omg feeling spoiled with all these uploads

5:52 omg was this filmed before midnights!? Did you predict lyrics!? TS REFERENCE!!!

5:52 it's me, hi. i'm the problem it's me :))

im screaming about the "its me, hi" at 5:53 bc taylor swift!!!

christine did you just subconsciously “it’s me. hi” BEFORE anti-hero came out because i love that for you

NEW PERCY BOOK!!!!! AHHHHHHH! 😁

You’ve been on top of the video game

The DIviners, Christine! You have to listen to The Diviners

Storytel subscription 3 months @Rs.600

PEOPLE SLEEP ON HAIL MARY OMG MY FAV FROM LAST YEAR!!!

Please make a video reacting to Midnights!

"It's me. Hi."

not christine accidentally saying "it's me, hi" before it was cool

The Anthropocene Reviewed audiobook being read by John Green, and then selling out every other edition of that book is so wonderful. His stories coming from his voice (like the podcast) is the perfect way to hear them.

The Daisy Jones audiobook >>>>>>

Friends Ship Please

CHRISTINE DID YOU LIKE MIDNIGHTS

i will never understand people who say they cant do audiobooks

Uhhh…..yo, baby girl, you were brought forth from my womb. No spitting involved. 🤣. Just saying. 🖤 you.

You are kind of crazy. Nice.

am i the only one who was waiting for Evelyn Hugo?🥲
