Best of 2015: Audiobooks

I listen to quite a few audiobooks each year.  My commute into work is about 30 minutes each way, and I refuse to listen to the radio (all they talk about is traffic), so I tune in to an audiobook. That said, I don’t post about them nearly as often as I should! Regardless, I posted about the following audiobooks I loved throughout the year, so I thought I’d wrap them up neatly into one post!

• Career of Evil (Cormoran Strike Novels) by Robert Galbraith: This is the third in this series and it is so, so addictive. I really do recommend starting at the beginning of the series of you can!
• Audio Production: Locke & Key by Joe Hill (illustrated by Gabriel Rodriguez): This was a free download I listened to as part of Murder, Monsters & Mayhem. More than a simple audio narration, this is an audio production, complete with sound effects. Brilliant!
• The Dead House by Dawn Kurtagich: Another audio I listened to as part of Murder, Monsters & Mayhem. Uber creepy, brilliant narration!
• None of the Above by I. W. Gregorio: This one gave me all the feels: anger, sympathy, sadness, joy. The narration added to the experience.

Other audios of note, that I didn’t get a chance to review:

• Paradise Sky by Joe Lansdale: I can honestly say I’ve never listened to anything like this one. Just trust me on this one.
• You’re Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) by Felicia Day: I’ve been a fan of Felicia’s following her roles on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Supernatural. When I heard about her book, and that she was narrating, I knew I had to listen to it. Quite rewarding and informative…and laugh out loud hilarious.
• The Bazaar of Bad Dreams: Stories: Stephen King. That’s all I need to say.
• Certainly not published this year (or this decade!), my family and I just started listening to the dramatic production of the Star Wars movies. Originally produced by NPR in the 1980s, these add dimension to the movies we all love.

There you have it! What were some of your favorite audios of 2015?

Edit: Last minute addition! I just finished Jenny Lawson’s Furiously Happy and, just like Let’s Pretend This Never Happened I found myself listening with tears of laughter rolling down my cheeks. An honest, heartfelt discussion of mental illness.
