Audie Award-Winning Audiobooks from 2021-2026
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!
