My Favorite Books in the Audible 2 for 1 Sale

Pride: A Pride & Prejudice Remix by Ibi Zoboi
This is a fun young adult retelling of the beloved Pride & Prejudice story. Zuri Benitez is full of pride for her family and neighborhood in Brooklyn, but her beloved home life is being threatened by the rapid gentrification of her neighborhood and when the wealthy Darcy family moves in, she’s not at ALL thrilled about it, since they represent everything she fears is coming for her community.

The Happy Ever After Playlist by Abby Jimenez
Abby Jimenez does not disappoint with books full of fantastic banter. This one is a really quick listen about a second chance at love. Be warned: there is a fair bit of swearing in this one.

The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E. Harrow
Set in the early 1900s, January Scaller, is a peculiar little girl with an affinity for adventure. She lives with the wealthy and influential Mr. Locke who is a collector of mysterious artifacts and treasures. On an outing January discovers, with the help of an old book left in her possession, that she can open doors to other worlds. It’s through these doors she finds where she came from and the truths about her past.

The Chemist by Stephenie Meyer
This basically feels like a Jason Bourne movie in audiobook form, with a female interrogation officer for one of the U.S. government agencies. She’s known as The Chemist because she uses chemical cocktails to get information out of her subjects, but now she’s less worried about her job and more worried about her life because the agency is now trying to kill her. This was just a FUN listen with lots of laugh-out-loud moments – say what you will about Stephenie Meyer, but she can write some SNAPPY dialogue. (Full review here)

The Bright Side of Disaster by Katherine Center
One of my current goals for 2023 is to read all of Katherine Center’s books. I haven’t read this one yet, so you better believe that I am going to snag it and add it to my TBR list!

Hidden Figures: The American Dream and the Untold Story of the Black Women Mathematicians Who Helped Win the Space Race by Margot Lee Shetterly
You may have already seen the movie, but you know the book is always better! Here’s a chance to read it at a mega discount with no library due dates!

Born a Crime by Trevor Noah
This audible original is a must to add to your list. You might have seen Trevor Noah on The Daily Show, but his life began as a crime. He was the son of a multiracial marriage which during South Africa apartheid was illegal. This witty and honest memoir is the perfect book to add to any book club and it’s one of those books that everyone mentions when they talk about books that are made 100x better by the audio version (naturally, it’s read by the author). 

Hamilton: The Revolution by Lin-Manuel Miranda and Jeremy McCarter
This is a must-read for any Hamilton super fans. Find out how the biggest Broadway play became a national phenomenon with a behind-the-scenes look of its conception, through its first Broadway performance. It’s also chalked full of interviews, photos, and notebook entries.

Of Mess and Moxie: Wrangling Delight out of This Wild and Glorious Life by Jen Hatmaker
I LOVE Jen Hatmaker and think she is one of the most entertaining and thoughtful non-fiction writers out there. I laugh until I cry with every one of her books.

The Year of Living Danishly by Helen Russell
Journalist Helen Russell will spend one year in the happiest place on earth to see what really makes it so happy, and it’s not Disneyland. She spends her year in Denmark to find out what the Danes do right, what they got wrong, and shares how to add some Danish happiness to your own life. 

Code Name Hélène by Ariel Lawhon
Modern Mrs. Darcy recommended this on her 2022 Summer Reading Guide and when she introduced it in the unboxing zoom call, the chat box exploded with people saying “I LOVED THIS BOOK.” Word is that the audio version is incredible!==-

This book offers insights and inspiration on how to start, launch, and build a successful venture.
