17 of the best audiobooks to listen to while on the go

Audiobooks are our new best friend, as it combines two of our favourite things. Reading books and listening to podcasts. Audiobooks come in handy now that we’ve run out of podcasts to listen to and don’t have that much time to kick back with a juicy paperback book.

Whether we’re driving to work, out on a long walk, running errands, or simply doing chores around the house, there’s nothing better than listening to a good book, fiction or non-fiction. All you have to remember is to ensure that your earphones are charged up because once you start, you will not want to stop.

So whether you’re an audiobook pro or have finally caved from your love and touch of physical copies, we’ve done some digging to recommend the best audiobooks. With life all about being the best version of yourself, there’s a slew of self-help audiobooks you can listen to, such as The Secret by Rhonda Byrne, which people have sworn has changed their lives. Looking for something a bit more cultural? Then why not listen to the fictional account of one South Asian woman’s journey to settling down with her partner in Love Marriage by Monica Ali?

Sometimes it’s nice to listen to a celebrity’s story from their mouth rather than others for a change, and we can’t recommend Face It by Blondie’s Debbie Harry and Becoming by Michelle Obama. Two very different women, brought together by their inspirational journeys to the top.

While it’s nice to step out of your comfort zones, sometimes all you want to listen to is good ol’ meaty crime fiction, and you don’t have to look any further than Local Gone Missing, written by Fiona Barton and narrated by Gabrielle Glaister. Trust us; you’ll be a bunch of nerves right till the very end!
