When the narrator(s) makes the book even better. For new listeners and audiobook elites, here is a range of different genres and narrators that excel at audio perfection.

books w/ full names in the title (mostly fiction)

This handpicked list brings back the heart-fluttering nostalgia of early-2000s rom-coms-think flirty banter, iconic soundtracks, and heroines with way too much emotional labor but perfect hair. Whether you're nursing a breakup, dodging one, or just craving a little lighthearted love, these movies will deliver serotonin, drama, and maybe even hope. You want that "why don't guys do grand gestures anymore?" energy? This list's got you.

Stories that feature DC, Maryland, or Virginia. (Statehood for DC!)

This includes book that have either mystery or thrillers as a primary or secondary genre. If you have recommendations to add please comment and I'll happily add them 💕

the name’s Bond. Alexz Bond. 😂

always taking suggestions for books with a full name in the title.

The starters for cozy mystery series with fun and unique themes, amateur sleuths with niche-specific jobs and hobbies, adorable animal companions (or supernatural beings), small towns with close-knit communities, may or may not include tasty recipes, and generally just some fun romp mysteries!

books that were better on audio

basically every memoir is also going to be better on audio, especially if the author narrates it, but I have a separate list for those

cozy mysteries

this has become one of my fav types of read, would love recs

Get on the hype train for these upcoming releases of books in a series. Now is the perfect time to jump on board a new series or start a re-read.

Covers the next 12 months - please send recs

I will list the first book in the series and the upcoming book. Updates once a month.

(I'm already questioning my sanity on how I'm going to maintain this, I wish we could make collaborative lists on here 😭)

Funny or darkly comic murder books featuring bungled plans, accidental deaths, bizarre families, amateur sleuths, incompetent criminals or people who are just having the worst day imaginable.

books w sense of humor (or voice) that's A) so subtle and cleverly disguised you could blink and miss it B) so blatant it's like being hit over the head C) so outrageous it's honestly just absurd D) drier than the sahara desert E) rather tongue-in-cheek F) all (or at least more than one) of the above

(some are more obvious than others since some are clearly intended to be satirical and others were just written in such a dry voice it made me chortle)

Books about stories, writing, reading, and books in general
