Share with me some of your favorite nonfiction audiobooks!
Those are all new to me titles! I'm not an audiobook reader myself so I chose my own topic for this week!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
I've been hearing the phrase "I'm not an audiobook reader." from a few folks this week that are readers. Audiobooks aren't for everyone.
DeleteI was not a huge audiobook fan until after I began blogging in 2012. Now, I love audiobooks because I can listen to them when eating alone, while I am knitting (my other favorite hobby), and other tasks... Plus, with great audio quality/production and a plethora of great narrators these days, it makes listening to audiobooks fun.
How did you first get into audiobooks?
ReplyDeleteMy Top Ten Tuesday post.
I don't remember how I initially got started with audiobooks... I think I may have found a couple of them in a bargain bin/sale and decided to give them a try.
DeleteCool.
DeleteThanks! I do remember after I became hooked on audiobooks that I started exchanging audiobooks with other audio listeners through Bookcrossing.com and discovered many new to me authors and books I normally wouldn't have read otherwise. From there my love of audiobooks simply took off.
DeleteI don't have good luck with audiobooks. I often fall asleep - it's easier for me to read. I also don't read a lot of non-fiction, unless it involves dogs or animals.
ReplyDeleteI love nonfiction books about animals too! Have you read Cat Daddy yet? If you're a cat lover, you may enjoy it.
DeleteI don't read a lot of non fiction books unless they are about dogs lol. So these are all new to me. have a great week.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and leaving me a comment. Happy reading!
DeleteJust by going off of those titles I want to know more about a few! Namely the Assassination of the archduke and Cat Daddy. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteBoth books are good... Especially, The Assassination of the Archduke.
DeleteThanks for stopping by and leaving me a comment. Happy reading!
I really like books by Simon Winchester. The Professor and the Madman is the one that got me started. I probably listened to the audiobook for it, too.
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by and leaving me a comment. Happy reading!
DeleteI wonder if I should try non fiction to get into audiobooks!
ReplyDeleteYes, find a subject/topic you want to know more about and go for it!!
DeleteI love listening to nonfiction books on audio. That's how I first got into audiobooks. Gradually, I started listening to more and more fiction on audio. I've only listened to one on this list though - The Power of Habit. Some good audiobooks I borrowed through OverDrive were Educated by Tara Westover, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot, and The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell.
ReplyDeleteI want to read The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot... In fact I have it in paperback, but haven't read it yet.
DeleteThis is an awesome list!! I'm not normally one for nonfiction books, but I'll have to check these out. I think I'd love reading nonfiction books on audio!
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by and leaving me a comment. Happy reading!!
DeleteI'll have to get the one on the Archduke. Thanks! Good job!

DeleteOooh I've never actually listened to nonfiction books before. I'm not sure if that would be my thing or not. I don't read a whole lot of nonfiction anyway but it might be easier with an audiobook.
ReplyDeleteI love audiobooks and I don't mind whether its fiction or nonfiction as long as the narrator, audio production, and writing is good.
DeleteI love to listen to non fiction! I will have to check some of these out!
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by and leaving me a comment. Happy reading!!
DeleteI am not a big nonfiction reader, but I do enjoy the occasional nonfiction audiobook. I'll have to take a look at some of these. One nonfiction audiobook that I enjoyed was Street Gang: The Complete History of Sesame Street by Michael Davis.
ReplyDeleteToo funny, Street Gang is on my reading wishlist. With your thumbs up, I will have to listen to the audio version of this book. Happy reading!!
DeleteOooh, thanks for the non-fiction recommendations. I feel like I should read more of them but never know where to start!
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by and leaving me a comment. Happy reading!!
DeleteI also use audiobooks when I'm curious about something non-fiction. They just don't hold my attention otherwise. These are all new to me though!
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by and leaving me a comment. Happy reading!!
DeleteI don't usually read much nonfiction, but I think I'd probably read more if I tried them on audio. That Gloria Steinem one caught my eye from your list so I'll definitely keep it in mind when I'm in a nonfiction mood.
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by and leaving me a comment. Happy reading!!
DeleteI have read The Professor and the Madman. Loved it. I want to read My Life on the Road.
ReplyDeleteGreat, I think you'll like My Life On The Road!!
DeleteNonfiction audiobooks have been a real revelation to me this year! They wouldn't have been something that I think I'd necessarily have expected to enjoy, but some of them are really well done! I'm definitely investigating some of the ones on your list right now...
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by and leaving me a comment, I hope you find something I've listed above to be a good fir for you. Happy reading!
DeleteA very interesting list, I tend to listen to fiction audiobooks the most, The only non-fiction audiobooks I have ever read have been buddhist (Pema Chodron I think).
ReplyDeleteHere's my Top Ten Tuesday.
Thank you for stopping by and leaving me a comment. Happy reading!!
Deleteooh so much love for audios though I confess I've never listened to a nonfic on audio yet!
ReplyDeleteNice take on the topic! I am normall picky about my non fic books I read, however, I find I am more open to listening to them.
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by and leaving me a comment. Happy reading!!
DeleteI've never listened to nonfiction books on audio, but it sounds like it would be a pretty good idea!
ReplyDeleteI love nonfiction and audiobooks, so I appreciate this great list. I had no idea Stoned had made its way to audio. It would definitely be a book my husband and I both would like. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by and leaving me a comment. Happy reading!!
DeleteThese are all new to me books that you listed but it's great that there is such a wide variety in audiobooks!
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by and leaving me a comment. Happy reading!!
DeleteI haven't actually listened to any of these but I've got a few on my TBR! Might have to go the audio route when I get around to them. :) My latest non-fiction listen that I really loved was Get Well Soon: History's Worst Plagues and the Heroes Who Fought Them by Jennifer Wright.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the recommendation. I will check it out.
DeleteI think audiobooks would be the only way I could enjoy most nonfiction books. This is great list! Thanks for the recs!
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by and leaving me a comment. Happy reading!
DeleteTHat's awesome you listen to nonfiction on audiobook! I've never been able to get into non-fiction, but maybe I would like it more if I listened to it.
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by and leaving me a comment. Happy reading!
DeleteI don't know any of these! I haven't considered non-fiction on audio but that might work for me too...
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by and leaving me a comment. Happy reading!
DeleteGreat list. I'll have to check some of these out.
