47 Best Audible Books for 2024: Editors’ Picks, Best-Sellers And More

No matter what some people say, listening to audiobooks is reading. The information is exactly the same whether you pick up a hardcover or pop your AirPods in. You’re just reading with your ears instead of your eyes!

One of the best ways to get audiobooks is with Audible, Amazon’s audiobook subscription platform. For $14.99/month, you’ll get a credit every month to use on any book in Audible’s catalog, plus access to Audible Originals and more free-to-subscriber titles. Even if you decide to cancel, the books that you used credits on are yours to keep.

Not sold on audiobooks just yet? You’re not alone — even as a lifelong reader, I didn’t really embrace reading via audio until last year.

We talked to Mackenzie Newcomb, a literary consultant and founder of Top Shelf Book Consulting who primarily reads audiobooks (they made up a majority of the 103 books she read last year!).

Newcomb also started Bad Bitch Book Club — the fully online book club with a motto of “you can read with us” is over 25,000 members strong on Facebook, where it’s primarily based, and has 30,000 followers on Instagram.

“Audiobooks are the only reason I am able to keep up with all of the reading I need to do for work,” Newcomb said. “As a new mom, I rarely have a free hand, much less two. Not only do they entertain me when my four-month-old fails to be a great conversationalist, but they allow me to do something for myself while taking care of someone else.”

If not being able to absorb the information you’re reading is a concern of yours, Newcomb says that she gets a lot more out of audiobooks than physical books, because someone is reading every word to her.

“As someone with ADHD, I have the tendency to have a difficult time focusing on reading physical books and often have to read the same page over and over again to retain all of the information,” she explained.

Some of the things that make an audiobook truly great to Newcomb include full-cast narration. “Great voice acting is also, obviously, a major component of what makes a great audiobook.”

Newcomb also has a few tips for audio newcomers or people who don’t think audiobooks are for them.

“Try listening at 1.5x speed,” she suggests. “If you have a hard time following an audiobook, it’s probably because it’s too slow.”

(I tend to listen on 2 – 2.3x, but recognize that could be a bit too fast for most people.)

Another way Newcomb gets her audiobook listening in is by multitasking. “I recommend listening to an audiobook while cleaning or while commuting in the car to make time go by faster! I also occasionally listen while playing games on my phone.”

Below, we’ve rounded up the Best Audible books across multiple genres and topics; we’ve also noted whether each book is one of Newcomb’s picks, a Decider editor’s pick, or a best seller on Amazon or the New York Times.

Best Fiction Audible Books

• Chain Gang All Stars: A Novel by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah

  • Listening length: 13 hours, 39 minutes
  • Narrators: Shayna Small, Aaron Goodson, Michael Crouch, Lee Osorio

  Chain Gang All-Stars is one of Newcomb’s fiction audiobook picks, and it’s also a favorite of her book club’s members, as it was recently their membership-voted December book of the month. The debut novel by Adjei-Brenyah follows two women gladiators who fight for their freedom inside a private prison system in a society that isn’t so unlike our own.

  The novel was also shortlisted for the National Book Award and was one of Jenna Bush-Hager’s Read with Jenna selections in 2023.

• As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow by Zoulfa Katouh

  • Listening length: 12 hours, 16 minutes
  • Narrator: Rasha Zamamiri

  Another one of Newcomb’s fiction recommendations is this award-winning “exceptional” audiobook. The “Love Letter to Syria and its people” follows Salama, a pharmacy student who turns to volunteer work as the people of Syria fight for their freedom. Salama finds herself torn between survival and loyalty to her country.

  BUY NOW

• Stone Cold Fox by Rachel Koller Croft

  • Listening length: 11 hours, 32 minutes
  • Narrator: Carlotta Brentan

  Newcomb also recommends Stone Cold Fox, the debut thriller from Rachel Koller Croft. It follows Bea, a con woman raised by a con woman.

  BUY NOW

• Adelaide by Genevieve Wheeler

  • Listening length: 10 hours, 15 minutes
  • Narrator: Caitlin Kelly

  One of my personal favorite books of 2023, Adelaide, is an impressive debut novel from Wheeler that tackles topics of love, loss, grief, mental illness, and more, through the character of Adelaide Williams. Adelaide is an American making a home in London, when she meets Rory, who she thinks could be The One.

  BUY NOW

• Do Tell by Lindsay Lynch

  • Listening length: 10 hours, 42 minutes
  • Narrator: Lisa Flanagan

  Do Tell is one of those books that I initially picked up as a hardcover, read it, and absolutely loved it — enough that I read it again just a few months later on audio and ended up loving it even more then.

  Lynch’s debut novel goes back in time to the golden age of Hollywood when the studio system was still the norm and gossip columnists were king. Career-supporting actress Edie O’Dare is coming up on the end of her studio contract, and after spending years feeding stories to the town’s top columnist, makes a name for herself as a rivaling columnist. The book follows Edie as her second-act career takes off, and she grapples with an impossible choice when she discovers a secret with the potential to ruin not just one of her friends’ lives and careers, but three.

  Do Tell feels like a completely different book on audio; it’s one where the narration truly makes a difference to your reading and understanding of the novel.

  BUY NOW

• Tom Lake by Ann Patchett

  • Listening length, 11 hours, 22 minutes
  • Narrator: Meryl Streep

  The famed author and owner of Nashville’s Parnassus Books returned in 2023 with her newest novel, narrated by the one and only Meryl Streep.

  The story follows Lara and her three daughters, as her daughters return home to the family orchard. They beg Lara to tell them a story from her past, about an actor and the time they shared a stage (and more) with a theater company known as Tom Lake. Lara’s daughters then have to reckon with the life their mother had before them and reconsider things they believed to be true.

  BUY NOW

• The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store by James McBride

  • Listening length: 12 hours, 21 minutes
  • Narrator: Dominic Hoffman

  The instant New York Times-bestselling novel The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store tells the fictional story of a group of Black and Jewish residents of Pottstown, Pennsylvania. When a group of excavators in the 1970s find a skeleton at the bottom of a well near a mezuza, they question Chicken Hill’s only Jewish resident, and the story flashes back to the 1920s and 1930s as the mystery unfolds.

Best Non-fiction Audible Books

• Oscar Wars: A History of Hollywood in Gold, Sweat, and Tears by Michael Schulman

  • Listening length: 21 hours
  • Narrator: Charlie Thurston

  Though the 21-hour runtime was daunting at first, I found myself wishing Oscar Wars would never end. The book charts the history of the Academy Awards by using some key races to explore trends in Hollywood, moments of cultural change, and a few particularly game-changing movies. Oscar Wars is a history of the Oscars, but the history of Hollywood as we know it is so entwined with the Academy Awards, so the book is as much about the industry as it is the awards that celebrate it.

  BUY NOW

• The Anthropocene Reviewed: Essays on a Human-Centered Planet by John Green

  • Listening length: 10 hours, 42 minutes
  • Narrator: John Green

  The best way to describe The Anthropocene Reviewed is in two words: deeply human. The Anthropocene refers to the current geologic age, one that has been molded and changed by human influence. In the book, Green “reviews” all different facets of the human experience, from the QWERTY Keyboard and The Mountain Goats to sunsets and googling strangers. Overall, Green’s essays reminded me that there are small joys to be found every day, and that things are worth falling in love with even if we know how it might end.

• The Castle on Sunset: Life, Death, Love, Art, and Scandal at Hollywood’s Chateau Marmont by Shawn Levy

  • Listening length: 12 hours, 56 minutes
  • Narrator: Mike Chamberlain

  This is another Hollywood history audiobook that I devoured in less than a weekend. Since 1929, the Chateau Marmont on Sunset Boulevard has served as a long- and short-term residence for celebrities, so it’s safe to say a lot has gone down inside the walls of the infamous Hollywood haunt. The Castle on Sunset recounts some of the events, from Nicholas Ray’s escapades during the making of Rebel Without A Cause to John Belushi’s fatal overdose in one of the Chateau’s bungalows.

  BUY NOW

• Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism by Amanda Montell

  • Listening length: 8 hours, 21 minutes
  • Narrator: Ann Marie Gideon

  This Amazon #1 best seller is also a personal favorite of mine. Amanda Montell, a writer and linguist, takes a look at the social science behind cults, and the elements and language that turn communities like SoulCycle and Peleton into something a little “cultish.”

  BUY NOW

• The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny and Murder by David Grann

  • Listening length: 8 hours, 28 minutes
  • Narrator: Dion Graham

  An Amazon bestseller, The Wager is David Grann’s follow-up to Killers of the Flower Moon and it’s also set to become the next film collaboration between director Martin Scorsese and actor Leonardo DiCaprio. The book tells the true story of The Wager, a ship that wrecked off the coast of a desolate island, and the crew that was marooned as a result.

Best Celebrity Memoir Audible Books

• Finding Me by Viola Davis

  • Listening length: 9 hours, 15 minutes
  • Narrator: Viola Davis

  One of Newcomb’s favorite celebrity memoirs of 2023 is one that details what she calls “the most impressive rise to fame of any celebrity.” Find out about her childhood in Central Falls, RI, her journey to Juilliard and the New York stage, and her eventual rise in Hollywood. Davis calls the book “a deep reflection, a promise, and a love letter of sorts to self.”

• Down the Drain by Julia Fox

  • Listening length: 10 hours, 3 minutes
  • Narrator: Julia Fox

  Of all the celebrity memoirs released in 2023, Newcomb calls Fox’s “the most entertaining by far.” Fox, who starred in 2019’s Uncut Gems opposite Adam Sandler, writes about her life, from time in jail to overdoses to life as a single mom, all with her signature unapologetic style.

  BUY NOW

• Paris: The Memoir by Paris Hilton

  • Listening length: 8 hours, 22 minutes
  • Narrator: Paris Hilton

  Newcomb’s third celebrity memoir recommendation is Paris: The Memoir by pop culture icon Paris Hilton. In the book’s description, Hilton says that she wrote this book in part to reckon with her place in pop culture with “influencers” on the rise (as an original influencer herself), and for young women who need to hear her story.

In Counting the Cost, Duggar (along with her husband, Derick Dillard) opens up about the secrets, manipulation, and intimidation that surrounded her upbringing when the cameras weren’t rolling.

Best Audible Books Made Into Movies or TV Shows

• Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz

  • Listening length: 7 hours, 29 minutes
  • Narrator: Lin-Manuel Miranda

  “Written by Benjamin Alire Sáenz, Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe is a must for fans of queer romance. The series follows two young Mexican-American boys as they bond during the summer of 1987 and find their friendship growing into something much deeper. The audiobook is narrated by the jack-of-all-trades Lin-Manuel Miranda, prior to Hamilton fame. The Broadway vet returned to read the 2021 sequel Aristotle and Dante Dive Into the Waters of the World, and to produce and make a cameo in the 2022 movie adaptation. It’s clear that so much love has gone into this audiobook!” – Raven Brunner

  AMAZON

• Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 1: The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan

  • Listening length: 10 hours, 2 minutes
  • Narrator: Jesse Bernstein

  Okay, sure, technically, the Percy Jackson books are middle grade — written for ages 9-12 — but I’ve found that this series is just as great of a read when you’re 25 as it might’ve been in middle school. The first novel in the Greek mythology inspired series follows a 12 year old boy whose life changes when he finds out he’s a Halfblood and is sent on a mission to retrieve and return Zeus’ stolen lightning bolt. A series adaptation of the novel is currently airing on Disney+.

  • Listening length: 6 hours, 53 minutes
  • Narrators: Andrew Garfield, Nathan Lane, Susan Brown, Denise Gough, Beth Malone, James McArdle, Lee Pace, Nathan Stewart-Jarrett, Bobby Cannavale, Edie Falco

  I guarantee this audio production of Angels in America by Tony Kushner, which inspired the 2003 HBO miniseries of the same name, will be one of the most unique audiobooks you listen to. Why? Because this isn’t just narrated — it’s performed by the cast that performed the show at England’s National Theater in 2017. We’re talking cast members that won Tony Awards and Olivier Awards for their work on the show.

• Daisy Jones and the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid

  • Listening length: 9 hours, 3 minutes
  • Narrators: Jennifer Beals, Benjamin Bratt, Judy Greer, Pablo Schreiber, and more…

  Before Riley Keough was Daisy Jones, Jennifer Beals was. The audiobook of Daisy Jones and the Six is as unique as the book itself. Since the book is written as an oral history of Daisy Jones, The Six, their meteoric rise, and abrupt end, the audiobooks uses a different narrator for every character.

• Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus

  • Listening length: 11 hours, 55 minutes
  • Narrator: Miranda Raison, Bonnie Garmus, Pandora Sykes

  Apple’s acclaimed miniseries, Lessons in Chemistry, is based on Bonnie Garmus’ debut novel. It follows chemist Elizabeth Zott through falling in love, dealing with loss, single motherhood, and eventually hosting a popular cooking show.

Best Sci-Fi/Fantasy Audible Books

• The Blood Trials by N.E. Davenport

  • Listening length: 18 hours, 20 minutes
  • Narrator: Jeanette Illidge

  One of Newcomb’s favorite sci-fi/fantasy audiobooks is the first book in a duology. It follows a young Black woman on her way to becoming an elite warrior who has to survive deadly trials in a society that’s both racist and misogynistic.

  BUY NOW

• Legendborn by Tracy Deonn

  • Listening length: 18 hours, 54 minutes
  • Narrator: Joniece Abbott-Pratt

  Legendborn is another favorite of Newcomb’s, and it’s incredibly popular within her book club as well. It’s the first book in a planned series that twists the King Arthur myth to infuse it with Southern folk traditions and Black girl magic. Bree witnesses a magical attack on her first night on her new college campus, and it unlocks her own magic plus buried memories that help her get closer to the truth about her mother’s murder.

  BUY NOW

• Such Sharp Teeth by Rachel Harrison

  • Listening length: 9 hours, 8 minutes
  • Narrator: Kristen Sieh

  Newcomb’s final sci-fi and fantasy recommendation is a horror novel that contains fantasy elements. Such Sharp Teeth, as the cover states, is a werewolf novel. Rory Morris is looking for some change in her life when she’s attacked. Rory survives, but things change after that; namely, she’s stronger, averse to silver, and enthralled by a full moon…

• Fourth Wing and Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros

  • Listening length (Fourth Wing): 20 hours, 43 minutes
  • Listening length (Iron Flame): 28 hours, 16 minutes
  • Narrator (Both books): Rebecca Soler with Teddy Hamilton

  Thanks to #Booktok, the first two books in Rebecca Yarros’ Empyrean pentalogy are currently the top two most-sold books on all of Amazon, and they’re two and three respectively on Audible’s charts. The romantacy (a portmanteau of romance and fantasy) novels are set in a war college for elite dragon riders and follow Violet, a small, weak student who’s been ordered to attend the school and master dragon riding.

  Amazon and Outlier Society (Michael B. Jordan’s production company) bought the TV rights for both existing books, and the three books that have yet to be published, so one day, Fourth Wing will be on TV screens as well.

  FOURTH WING

  IRON FLAME

• A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas

  • Listening length: 16 hours, 7 minutes
  • Narrator: Jennifer Ikeda

  Another romantasy staple, A Court of Thorns and Roses is the first book in Sarah J. Maas’ series set in faerie lands known as Prythian. The five books published so far, all of which make appearances on Amazon and Audible’s best sellers lists, follow Feyre Archeron, a human huntress who finds herself being held captive in the faerie lands.

Best Young Adult Audible Books

• Check & Mate by Ali Hazelwood

  • Listening length: 9 hours, 31 minutes
  • Narrator: Karissa Vacker

  One of Newcomb’s top three books in 2023 was Check & Mate, the young adult debut from Ali Hazelwood, who is best known for her STEM-inspired adult romances like The Love Hypothesis. Check & Mate is a rivals-to-lovers romance that follows two rival chess players who are drawn to each other as one of them rises the ranks and finds that her competition is much more intelligent, attractive, and infuriating than she’d assumed.

• A Scatter of Light by Malinda Lo

  • Listening length: 10 hours, 14 minutes
  • Narrator: Maggie Q

  Another YA recommendation from Newcomb is A Scatter of Light by Malinda Lo, which is also one of my favorite audiobooks. The novel is a companion story to Lo’s Last Night at the Telegraph Club, an LGBTQ+ love story between two teenage girls set in the Bay Area during the Red Scare. A Scatter of Light returns to the Bay Area in contemporary times and follows Aria as she spends one summer with her grandmother and begins second-guessing her identity, future, and more. The novel also offers Telegraph Club fans a glimpse of what happened to those characters in the sixty years between the two stories.

• Their Vicious Games by Joelle Wellington

  • Listening length: 12 hours, 18 minutes
  • Narrator: Ariel Blake

  Newcomb describes Their Vicious Games as “a banger of a YA thriller,” that you’ll speed through. Adina is a Black teen at a prestigious New England prep school who is forced to fight and win back her Ivy League acceptance during a series of contests known as the Ride, the Raid, and the Royale.

• Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli

  • Listening length: 6 hours, 45 minutes
  • Narrator: Michael Crouch

  All my life, I’ve been a reader, but just about nine years ago, I fell in love with books all over again after picking up Simon vs. on a friend’s recommendation. 16-year-old Simon is not quite openly gay, but when he leaves his email signed into a library computer and class clown Martin finds it, Martin takes the opportunity to blackmail Simon into being his wingman. At the same time, he’s falling more and more for Blue — a boy he’s been anonymously emailing with.

• Firekeeper’s Daughter by Angeline Boulley

  • Listening length: 14 hours, 13 minutes
  • Narrator: Isabella Star LaBlanc

  Firekeeper’s Daughter is a novel that, in my opinion, is better listened to than it is just read, and that’s in large part to Isabella Star LaBlanc’s narration. The YA thriller follows Daunis Fontaine, an 18-year-old Anishinaabe kwe (Ojibwe woman) who finds herself caught in the middle of an investigation to root out corruption in their reservation community as lies keep growing and lives are at stake. The narration lends so much to the storyline since the story is full of Ojibwe language — hearing those words, especially if you’re not familiar with the language, brings another layer of authenticity to this Indigenous story.

• The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han

  • Listening length: 6 hours
  • Narrator: Lola Tung

  If you’re a fan of The Summer I Turned Pretty on Prime Video and you haven’t already listened to the book series on audio, it’s a must. Following the series’ debut, a new set of audiobooks were released for Han’s trilogy with narration by series star Lola Tung (Belly). In the second and third books, Tung is joined by co-star Gavin Casalegno (Jeremiah).

Best Romance Audible Books

• Grip by Kennedy Ryan

  • Listening length: 14 hours, 49 minutes
  • Narrators: Jakobi Diem, Maxine Mitchell

• How to Fake It in Hollywood by Ava Wilder

  • Listening length: 10 hours, 36 minutes
  • Narrators: Thérèse Plummer, Andrew Eiden

  Newcomb’s second romance rec is Ava Wilder’s How to Fake It in Hollywood — she named it as one of her five-star romance reads in 2023. The novel follows a Hollywood starlet looking to keep her career alive now that her long-running show has ended. The solution? Entering a PR relationship with a reclusive A-Lister who needs to clean up his reputation before stepping back into the limelight.

• Written in the Stars, Hang the Moon, and Count Your Lucky Stars by Alexandria Bellefleur

  • Listening length (Written in the Stars): 11 hours, 11 minutes
  • Listening length (Hang the Moon): 10 hours, 50 minutes
  • Listening length (Count Your Lucky Stars): 11 hours
  • Narrator (all three): Lauren Sweet

  Newcomb’s final romance recommendation is actually three recs in one, since it’s another full series. This one, however, is a series of interconnected standalone novels, which means that the books can be read out of order, but all three take place in the same universe, reference similar characters, and feature some connections to the books that came before it.

  Written in the Stars follows characters Darcy and Elle, while Hang the Moon follows Darcy’s brother Brendon, and Count Your Lucky Stars features Elle’s best friend and business partner Margot in the main character spot.

• The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochrun

  • Listening length: 10 hours, 52 minutes
  • Narrators: Vikas Adam, Graham Halstead, Cassandra Campbell

  If there’s one book that’s my go-to recommendation whenever someone asks, it’s The Charm Offensive, which happens to have an incredible audiobook counterpart. The romance novel is set during the production of a The Bachelor-style reality show called Ever After. Disgraced tech genius Charlie Winshaw sees the show as his only shot at getting his old life — and his job — back, but he’s still anxious and awkward, and better yet, doesn’t really believe in the kind of true love Ever After sells. Dev is the producer assigned to Charlie for the season; at first, his job is just to prepare Charlie for dates and get him to connect with the women vying for his heart, but the real connection Charlie is finding? It’s not with any of the women, it’s with Dev…

  An Amazon Editors’ Pick for best-romance, Romantic Comedy is just that — a romance about a comedy writer. The novel is set at an SNL-esque show and follows one of the series writers, Sally, as she writes a sketch poking fun at her average-looking-dorky-male coworkers dating women who are incredibly beautiful and accomplished, noting how unlikely the opposite happening would be.

  Even before Martin Scorsese’s adaptation of this true crime book hit theaters, Grann’s masterful work was on the New York Times best sellers list — it’s been there for 149 weeks. In the book, Grann unpacks the Osage Reign of Terror, a little-known period of Osage history in which oil-rich Indigenous people were dying suspiciously, as if it were a whodunit.
