The only way to experience these is audio
I used to be a physical-only girlie, but I've changed my tune.

May I suggest the hobbit read by Andy Serkis?
I was a physical books only girly before that, but it's truly an enhanced experience!
You make me want to propose « Silmarillion ». I know a very good version in French but I think any audio version is better than the book (hot take haha)
100% for Daisy Jones!! I love that you created this, audiobooks are so often a second-best that it's important to highlight the ones that truly honor it as an art form <3
sunspotOP
Are there any you would add??
Red, White and Royal Blue... Love love love the narration, I cried (and I never cry while reading :) ; This is How You Lose the Time War (I felt the narrative format really suits the epistolary, alternate persoectives structure) ... I'll let you know if I can think of more!
I am a 99% audio reader I rarely read a book with my eyes anymore if I can help it
This is such a good list!! I would for sure add The Lord of The Rings (the Phil Dragash version). Can't recommend enough, his readings of the book(s) changed my life!
