there is a sea of audiobook narrators and I know we all have our favorites. I'm starting a series of lists featuring both popular and underrated narrators. consider this the first of many.

let's kick things off with Teddy Hamilton. he does everything romance related, mm romance, shifter romance, alien romance, and more. I tried not to include audible exclusives so that anyone without access to audible can find something from this list.

as always, taking suggestions!!

these are pulled from a goodreads list that was published--working on trying to find the link again

Nominees and winners of every category of the Good Reads Choice Awards for the year of 2025. Some books overlap so they were only entered once.

Books that either filtered to me directly from or have strong associations with booktok. A lot of dark romance, a lot of smut, some things I would (lovingly) consider "trashy".

Fantasy books series that start with trials, competitions and games

I’ve been wanting to participate in a fun reading challenge and came across this on YouTube by this creator of Under the Covers Book Blog. Buddy read with me if you want!

Why choose one when you can have them all?

Sometimes the main characters pets are what really carry the book

When one isn't enough 😝

Most of these books were popular on TikTok. Mostly dark romance, but some are different.
