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 We Love from NPR began in 2013, always boasting over 200 books (almost 400 in recent years) featuring genres from memoirs, to cookbooks, to graphic novels, to children’s literature, to nonfiction, to novels. Check out NPR’s website to filter this massive list.

The list is in reverse alphabetical order directly from NPR.

audiobooks where the narrator is the author! any book goes, no matter the genre. there may be multiple versions of the audiobook, but at least one version has the author as narrator. please suggest more in the comments!

Memoirs by Contestants, Judges, and Hosts of Top Chef (USA). Only adding cookbooks that have a focus on story/history (for instance Carla Hall's Soul Food has a beautiful introduction, but not enough to make it a memoir). Open to suggestions and folks I may have missed! Bon appétit!
