I loooove really long audiobooks do you have any recs for good ones that are 15/20+ hrs long?
i think the longest one ive listened to is about 24/25 hrs and its warbreaker by brandon sanderson (would rec the audiobook, but if u dont wanna dish out ur money brandon sanderson actually has warbreaker as a free pdf on his website right here (and if u doubly dont wanna dish out ur money but u still wanna listen to it pm me and i’ll get u the link where i listened to it) narrated by james yaegashi, who if i recall correctly is a very big celeb with audiobook fanatics
the one that i read most recently which was either just under 15 hrs or just 15 hrs was the binding by bridget collins read by carl prekopp and my friend kat can attest to this but i am absolutely head over heels in love with this narrator, he usually does audio dramas and plays and you can tell in the way he manipulates his voice. also ! big bonus, sheffield accent for a country boy! absolutely LOVE when narrators have specific accents or ways they speak
also the rook by daniel o’malley, read by susan duerden, pretty good book, liked the narrating alright, honestly this is a bit of a meh for me cause theres parts i really like a lot and then didnt like a lot of the other things but def worth a try!
then mandatory magicians mention, all three books are around 16 hours, highly recommend mark bramhalls narrating although at one point he does an australian accent and if you have an ear for that sort of this ive read that he doesnt do it very well, also, he pronounces words like white like hwite, bob ross style, so you see whether u find it endearing or annoying! books written by lev grossman (also u can find these on youtube so yay free books)
skyward by brandon sanderson, read by suzy jackson, 15 hrs, FANTASTIC narration, the kind where it doesn’t jump out at you how good the narrating is until you have to go back to something else, really i couldn’t reccomend this enough especially since a problem i have often with ya is that the narrating just isn’t good enough in my opinion, and i love this one cause its a good ya book with narrating where u can hear that the narrator is putting emotion into what she’s saying, LOVE this book!
the night circus by erin morgenstern is 13 hours and 40 minutes BUT its narrated by jim dale so rly im doing u a favour mentioning it even tho its not what u wanted :////// jdhfgj yeah no listen to this its very great
Oh also just remembered six of crows the audible full cast production I think that's like 20 hrs but I could be very wrong
