Recs if you like All Creatures Great and Small (All Creatures Great and Small, #1-2)...

Books that remind me of the game Stardew Valley! Coziness, cottage-core, and a hint of magic.

I’m an audiobook lover, and I’m always looking for great audiobooks! Rather than just listing my favorites, I thought I’d make a list of audiobooks that have won Audie Awards from 2021-2026.

There are so many, so I stuck to specific categories. Not all categories are in all years, so there is some inconsistency. I included the following categories:

• Audiobook of the year
• Autobiography/Memoir
• Erotica
• Spanish
• Fantasy
• Fiction
• History/Biography
• Humor
• Horror
• Literary Fiction
• Classics
• Middle Grade
• Mystery
• Nonfiction
• Romance
• Science Fiction
• Short Stories/Collections
• Thriller/Suspense
• YA/Teens
• Paranormal

Happy listening!

Audiobooks narrated by actors who appear in a TV or film adaptation of the book too

Great audiobooks and physical books to listen/read before bed. Mostly stories, some childhood favorites and some essays. These are good stories (not boring!) but told in nice short snippets that are good to listen to before bed.

Sprinkle a little hope on your world view. This list is filled with non fiction books that emanate positivity and will brighten your beliefs. Doom and gloom dominate our media; that serves a good purpose, which is to warn us all, but I ask you this: after the warning, what's next? Here you'll find books that will make you believe that the Earth and its residents are worth saving, and maybe we are not in a hellscape after all. Life is looking UP! The glass is half full!

Learn fascinating facts about animals while you read.

Because five books for “my taste” isn’t nearly enough

Memoirs focused on moments in the authors’ careers from UK (England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland) authors. A variety of careers- vetrenarians, midwife, nurse, bookseller, and biologist. Suggestions welcome! Focus on slice of life, rather light hearted books. But I’d love some more diversity in this list especially.

Mostly mysteries and other stories that have that central thread of pet ownership. There may be romance, horror, or something else but pets are somehow involved or take up space on the cover (not always).
