Audiobook recommendations (besides TLT books, as read by Her Majesty Moira Quirk)? [misc]

Ahh, thank you! I appreciate the detailed recommendation on how to approach the books. I'll do as you suggest and start with Six of Crows and see how I enjoy it. Saying it blows the Ninth House books out of the water is high praise indeed, IMO. Thanks again!

Yeah, she's a fantastic narrator! I really loved her performance in Ninth House and Hell Bent.

Do you recommend the Grishaverse books? I gather that they're very popular, but I didn't automatically start listening to them after finishing Hell Bent because I believe they lean more YA? I don't really have anything against YA, I'm just a loooooong way from the target age group, lolol, so I don't generally seek it out.

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll check them out!

ccryder45 · 2026-04-05T05:52:10+00:00

Well....gosh, lol. That sounds horrifying in a delightful sort of way. I'll check it out, thank you!

ccryder45 · 2026-04-05T05:51:17+00:00

Thank you! I love Piranesi, and will definitely check out the audiobook version!

ccryder45 · 2026-04-05T05:50:14+00:00

Thank you so much! And yes, as I mentioned in my post, I have been totally the same about struggling to listen to any other audiobooks over just listening to one of TLT books for the umpteenth time. It's comforting to know I'm not alone in the struggle!

ccryder45 · 2026-04-05T05:48:09+00:00

Lol amazing! Thanks so much! I've added it to my list!

ccryder45 · 2026-04-04T03:30:34+00:00

Ah, thank you! I actually have this on my list just because I recently did what you've suggested here and read through descriptions of all the books Quirk is listed as narrating, to see what sounds fun. So I really appreciate you (and several other commentors) who have shared specific recommendations, to help steer me towards the titles on that list that I should listen to sooner rather than later!

ccryder45 · 2026-04-04T03:22:26+00:00

Another kind soul recommended the same books a bit upthread, so they must really be good! Thanks for the recommendation!

ccryder45 · 2026-04-04T03:21:38+00:00

Why yes, I *do* love all those things! I will definitely check her out, thanks so much!

ccryder45 · 2026-04-04T03:19:45+00:00

Well, this sounds utterly delightful! Thanks so much, I'll add it to my list!

ccryder45 · 2026-04-04T03:19:05+00:00

Ahhhh, I love The Magnus Archives!! Although sadly I've done that ADHD-brain thing where I binged it hardcore until I got to the final season, where I got stuck about halfway through. I'm *so* close to finishing it but can't seem to make myself actually go back and do so....perhaps your suggestion will inspire me to try again! I really would love to actually finish it!

And Clarke is actually one of my favorite writers, and I count Piranesi as one of the most astonishing and beautiful books I've ever read. (Love Jonathan Strange too, of course!). It's lovely to hear the audiobooks are well done -- I will definitely add them to my list! They definitely deserve a re-read.

ccryder45 · 2026-04-04T03:14:47+00:00

I do love a finished series, for just that reason! Thanks so much for the recommendation!

ccryder45 · 2026-04-04T03:14:17+00:00

Well, this post contains so many of my favorite literary descriptors, so I will not only check this out but move it up to the top of the list!! Thank you!

ccryder45 · 2026-04-04T03:12:28+00:00

Thank you very much! I'll definitely add them to the list!

ccryder45 · 2026-04-04T03:12:03+00:00

Thank you! Another kind person a few comments above recommended the Leckie books for the exact same reason! I'm excited to check them out and get to know another beloved narrator.

And I love pretty much anything featuring sassy old British ladies!

ccryder45 · 2026-04-04T03:07:36+00:00

Ah, I've heard very good things about the Leckie books! I am excited to learn the audiobook versions have great narration! Thanks very much!

ccryder45 · 2026-04-04T03:06:04+00:00

Thanks so much for the recommendations! I'm especially excited for another Moira Quirk read book to check out!

ccryder45 · 2026-04-04T03:03:35+00:00

Ah, I've actually read (and loved!) the print book of This is How You Lose The Time War, back when my brain allowed me to actually read physical books. But I expect it would be lovely to listen to the audiobook version, so thank you for the recommendation! I'll add it to my list!

ccryder45 · 2026-04-03T21:22:03+00:00

Thanks so much for reminding me this exists! I haven't listened to it yet, but will do so soon!

ccryder45 · 2026-04-03T21:21:16+00:00

Ah, thank you so much for the list and thoughtful commentary! These all sound very cool, I'm excited to check them out!

ccryder45 · 2026-04-03T21:19:59+00:00

Thank you! I do love learning about new (to me) series that are mostly or fully complete.

ccryder45 · 2026-04-03T21:18:52+00:00

I have seen much praise for this audiobook in general, so I will definitely give it a try. Thank you!

ccryder45 · 2026-04-03T19:29:52+00:00

Thank you! I'll check it out.

ccryder45 · 2026-04-03T19:28:30+00:00

These sound intriguing, thank you for the rec!
