my audiobook TBR pile // Top Ten Tuesday
Somehow another week has passed us by and it's time for a new Top Ten Tuesday post! Today's topic is "The Ten Most Recent Additions to My To-Read List" but I've decided to do something a little bit different...
If you're a regular visitor to this blog, you'll know that at the end of every month, I do a wrap-up post including any new books I acquire during that month. However, I often forget to include audiobooks that I borrow from the library. So rather than just repeating myself and listing the books I received for Christmas (because I've barely bought any since then!), today I'm sharing my current audio reads and a few that are next on my to-read list!
Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl, with a new topic to respond to every week.
~ currently reading ~
So I'm currently kind of reading three audiobooks... I started listening to Sinner earlier this month but unfortunately, my library loan expired so I haven't been able to finish it yet. Then I couldn't decide between Autoboyography and All the Crooked Saints so now I'm alternating between the two.
1. Autoboyography by Christina Lauren
2. Sinner (The Wolves of Mercy Falls #4) by Maggie Stiefvater
3. All the Crooked Saints by Maggie Stiefvater

~ series to continue ~
I've been meaning to continue The Diviners series for a while now but, to be honest, I'm low-key terrified to keep reading. I think I'll save it for Halloween... Conversely, I can't wait to get my hands on The Burning Maze but the audiobook isn't available at my library yet! In the meantime, I'm planning to binge the rest of the Alex Rider series after reading the first book, Stormbreaker, on a complete whim the other day.
4. Before the Devil Breaks You (The Diviners #3) by Libba Bray
5. Point Blanc (Alex Rider #2) by Anthony Horowitz
6. The Burning Maze (The Trials of Apollo #3) by Rick Riordan

~ new series ~
And after I finish all those other books/series, there's just a few more I'm planning on listening to via audiobook:
7. The Bone Witch by Rin Chupeco
8. A Thousand Pieces of You by Claudia Gray
9. Stalking Jack the Ripper by Kerri Maniscalco
10. An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir

What books have you recently added to your TBR pile? Do you listen to audiobooks? If so, what one(s) are you currently reading? Let me know in the comments below and leave a link to your TTT so I can check it out!
Niamh, xo.
Maggie's books are among those I continuously see hyped on various lists or on Twitter, but I've never read one by her. As for audiobooks, I rarely if ever listen to them, but the two I did listen to last year, I enjoyed, so perhaps I should try to listen to a few more. :)
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed The Raven Cycle but I found the Wolves of Mercy Falls series (at least the original trilogy) kind of meh. Not sure about All the Crooked Saints yet! I started listening to audiobooks a bit over a year ago and probably half of my reading is now via audio! I get motion sickness so it's great to be able to read whilst in the car or on the bus.
DeleteA great selection of books! I've been a bit hit and miss with Maggie Stiefvater, but I'd be willing to try her work again. My TTT
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll give Maggie's work a second chance and enjoy it more in the future!
DeleteA thousand Pieces of You looks good, I've liked the Claudia Gray stuff I've read. And the Apollo books look fun. :)
ReplyDeleteI've not read any of Claudia Gray's work before so this will be my first. I think The Trials of Apollo may be my favourite Rick Riordan series yet!!
DeleteThe Apollo book is a great adventure and the narrator does a great job! I hope you enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteMy TTT for this week
I loved the first two books so I'm super excited to see what happens next! I agree, the narrator is brilliant!
DeleteLots of great picks. I believe I've heard good things about the Stalking Jack audio book series.

Yes, I've heard that the narrator does a great job!
DeleteI'm trying to get more into audiobooks, I used to like them when I was younger, but I kind of fell out of them.

I used to listen to them all the time as a child (back in the days of tape cassettes!) but I recently found out I could borrow digital copies from my library and it's great! Without them, I'd never be able to read as much as I do!
DeleteI've never listened to fantasy on audiobook before! Gotta give it a try. Great list!
ReplyDeleteI find that that fantasies can sometimes be a bit tricky to follow on audio, particularly high fantasies, so I'd recommend starting with a book you're familiar with or a "lower" fantasy. And the narrator is also super important! A bad narrator can really ruin a story.
DeleteI really like the audiobook for Sinner! I'm not sure if that's because that was how I read it first, but I just think the voice actors were really well cast and do a really good job! Hope you get a chance to finish listening to it!
ReplyDeleteI was enjoying it before my copy was snatched away! But it's on hold again so hopefully I will be able to finish it soon!
DeleteMany of these are on my TBR, but I haven't read yet. I tried reading both Bone Witch and Stalking Jack the Ripper and just haven't been able to get into them, though I'm not giving up on them yet, lol.
ReplyDeletehttps://jjbookblog.wordpress.com/2019/01/29/top-ten-tuesday-196/
Maybe it's worth giving the audiobooks a go! Or the physical books, if you've already tried them on audio. I hope we'll both enjoy them!
DeleteThe Bone Witch and Stalking Jack the Ripper are both really good. I hope you end up enjoying these!
ReplyDeleteI've heard great things about both so I'm really looking forward to eventually reading both of them!
DeleteOoh, I loved An Ember in the Ashes! I hope you do too. I haven't read anything by Maggie Stiefvater yet, but hopefully this year.
ReplyDeleteIt's been on my TBR for a while but I just haven't gotten around to it yet – hopefully soon! I hope you like Maggie's books!
