Summary

In Episode 3, I'm back to my regular format with Susie from the blog Novel Visits (one of my top recommendation sources!). Susie recently fell in love with audiobooks and, unlike me, listens to fiction on audio. Join us for her fiction audiobook recommendations!

Highlights

  • Why listening to audiobooks is not cheating.
  • The sign you're listening to a great audiobook.
  • The one book that really turned Susie on to audiobooks.
  • Susie's favorite audiobook narrators (Julia Whelan, Cassandra Campbell, Therese Plummer).
  • Sarah's all-time favorite audiobook (it's a miracle...I am actually able to pick just one!).
  • Susie's favorite apps to listen to audiobooks.
  • Sarah's take on the problem with thrillers these days.

About Susie

I've loved reading for as long as I can remember. Some of my fondest childhood memories involve long afternoons at the library and then reading late into the night. More than ten years ago, I began journaling about the books I read and turned that passion into writing about books. My first forays were as a guest reviewer on a friend's blog, but I soon realized I wanted to be reviewing and talking about books on a blog of my own. From there, Novel Visits was born. That was in 2016 and, though the learning curve was steep, I love being a part of the book community. Novel Visits focuses on new novel reviews (print and audio), previews of upcoming releases, and musings on all things bookish.

Welcome to Sarah's Bookshelves Live. I'm Sarah of the blog Sarah's Bookshelves. Each week,

0:18.6

I'm talking with one bookish guest about two old books they love,

0:22.7

two new books they love, one book they don't love, and one new release they're excited about.

0:28.3

We're going to get real and sometimes a little bit snarky about all things books. This is a

0:33.3

brand new podcast. So if you like it, I'd really love your support. Please spread the word to your

0:38.4

reader friends, subscribe to the show, and rate and review it wherever you listen to podcasts.

This week we've got Susie from the blog Novel Visits, and she is joining me from the West Coast.

0:56.8

She's probably having some coffee right now because it is approaching lunchtime for me and early in the morning for her.

1:03.3

And Susie is one of my most trusted book recommendation sources.

1:07.4

We usually agree on most books, except she is a more patient reader than I am. She has the

1:13.3

ability to kind of stick with things a little bit longer until the action starts happening,

1:17.2

whereas I will put something down really quickly. Today, she's bringing us some book recommendations

1:21.7

that I can't give you because I don't listen to these types of books. Recently, I've been getting

1:27.1

more and more requests for audiobook recommendations,

1:30.6

and I love that because I do listen to audiobooks.

1:33.7

However, I only listen to nonfiction on audio.

1:36.9

But Susie listens to lots of fiction,

1:38.7

and I think you all will really love her recommendations,

1:42.2

because if you read my blog, you obviously like my reading taste.

1:45.2

So mine aligns very closely with Susie's and I think you will love her fiction audiobook picks,

1:51.1

which we're going to talk about today. But first of all, we're going to talk a little bit about
