I haven't listened to that many audiobooks myself but I want that to change. Do you have any recommendations for me? I read a little bit of everything except romance, romantasy and memoir/biography.

Here are audiobooks I really loved:

The first law trilogy by Steven Pacey LOTR by Andy Serkis (obviously!) And dresden files by James Marsters (his narration is the only reason I'm reading this series. It's basically smut to me 😔)

I’m not a huge fan of the back and forth between her university days and the 1800’s farm every two chapters. It breaks the flow of the story imo, every time I’m starting to immerse myself it force me to change timeline.

I've missed romantasy but absolutely cannot deal with the sludge that is being churned out lately. We used to be a civilized people! If I wanted to read "self-aware smutfest" with terrible writing and wayyy to much exposition but great sex scenes I'd just go find some straight-up porn. I want to have fun! I want adventure! I want yearning and intrigue! I don't want the only mystery to be length and how many holes he'll put it in. I can't even tell you how many first pages and first chapters I've read that immediately gave me the ick and turned me away. This is now the farthest I've gotten and I'm actually...having a good time. Is it a bit predictable and packed with popular tropes? Yes. BUT if I had never read another romantasy I wouldn't know that, and I think it's done well. Maybe my standards have lowered. Maybe I just needed a junk food read as a pallet cleanser after Big Think Perspective books. Maybe I'm just craving a good giggle-and-kick-my-feet-while-chatting-with-my-friends-about-it book. But this one is doing it for me.
