A great way to keep up with your reading goal while you are busy with school, work, or sports is to listen to audio books. There are so many good audio books to listen to. Need a suggestion? Listed below are 5 audio books you should give a try!
"Daisy Jones and The Six" by Taylor Jenkins Reid is an amazing book that tells the story of a band as they rise to fame and eventually move their separate ways in the end. The book is written and structured by interviews between all the band members as they tell their side of the story. The audio book is done by a full cast which pulls you into the story even more. This book was made in a show on Prime Video, so make sure you read it before you watch it.
"The Only Plane in the Sky" by Garrett M. Graff tells the tragic story of September 11, 2001. This book is a timeline of the day. Each chapters include interviews of survivors, First Responders, family members, and countless others who witnessed the events that unfolded on 9.11. The audio book is done by a full cast and even includes some actual audio from the day. The production features small snippets of audio from in-flight communications, emergency calls, and the speech from President Bush after the events unfolded.
"Project Hail Mary" by Andy Weir tells a story about an astronaut (Ryland Grace) who wakes up alone on a spaceship with no memory of what happened, where he is, or why he is in space. He finds out he is on a mission to save Earth from a solar eating threat. Throughout the book you follow Grace as he tries to save Earth and make it back home safely. This audio book stands out because it includes a musical chime sound for a special character named Rocky in the book. This book was adapted in a movie in 2026, be sure to checkout the book before streaming the movie.
The novel "Remarkably Bright Creatures" by Shelby Van Pelt tells a story of a woman who works at an aquarium and forms a friendship with an octopus being kept there. The audio book is done by a full cast and tells the heartwarming story in an amazing way. This book is being turned into a movie and is set to release on Netflix in May 2026!
My last suggestion is "A Good Girl's Guide to Murder". This murder mystery book by Holly Jackson is so engaging and one of my favorite books. Everything about the story pulls you in and makes you want to keep reading. The audio for this book is also done with a full cast which makes the book feel like a true crime podcast. This best-selling novel was turned into a Netflix series in 2024.
