TTT: Audiobooks!

Top Ten Tuesday: Ten audiobooks I want I hope to listen to soon!

Yay! Finally a topic after my heart. I love listening to audiobooks. I am always searching for good books in the audio format.  And because I am a big believer in libraries these must be available free of charge with my library card. This is not always an easy task.

Here are a few books I hope to listen to soon:

1. Girl in the Blue Coat by Monica Hesse
Click on the audio link under the photo of this hyperlink to hear a sample.
I actually bought the CD-set of this audiobook and it arrived today. It will be my next book.
2. Gulp by Mary Roach
Click on link for a sample
I started this audiobook last year and wasn't able to finish it before I had to return it to the library. I want to finish it.
3. True Grit by Charles Portis
This book has been on my TBR forever and I keep thinking if I can find an audiobook I'll finally consume it!
4. LaRose by Louise Erdrich
I am a Louise Erdrich fan. I want to listen to her latest book.
5. The Perfect Horse: The Daring American Mission to Rescue the Priceless Stallions Kidnapped by the Nazis by Elizabeth Letts
I just heard about this book and it is the type I love to listen to.
6. Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsberg by Irin Carmon
My husband and daughter listened to this audiobook and recommend it.
7. Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri
I always enjoy listening to books with multi-cultural themes.
8. Vassa in the Night by Sarah Porter
I haven't found a sample but I hope I do. This is a perfect type of book for the audio format.
9. When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi
Sometimes these serious books are best for me if I can listen rather than read.
10. On the Edge of Gone by Corrine Duyvis
Fantasy and Science fiction are good audio selections. I am looking forward to this one.

What books are looking forward to listening to?
