Recs if you like Loud: Accept Nothing Less Than the Life You Deserve...

Audiobooks that are less than 10 hours long and are safe for work AKA not aiming to get your horned up at your desk (no guarantees that you won't cry or get the creeps though). Recommendations welcome!

These Diverse Baseline Challenge was created by @bookish.millennial & @themargherita.s (on instagram). In 2025, the goal is to read 1 book by a racialized author each month. This challenge is meant to encourage readers to try genres they historically don’t reach for, find new-to-them racialized authors, and to encourage reflection on our reading habits.

This is a mix of recommendations by the challenge organizers and myself.

Drew and Deison read A LOT and I will try my best to update this!

I love a lot of books, but not all of them make the list of books I actually recommend to everyone. These are all time top recs that I think everyone should read.
