My Favorite Audiobooks - Stories I’ve Cooked, Cleaned, and Carpooled To
15
items I’m in the car a lot and when I’m not in the car or working, I’m usually cooking, folding laundry, or walking. Audiobooks have become my favorite way to make all that time feel like me time. These are the ones that made me laugh out loud in traffic, ...
I use Audible for all my audiobooks because, honestly, I don’t have the patience for Libby’s “wait 12 weeks” message. But if you’re more patient than me, definitely check Libby for older books — it’s free and great once you actually get them.
Premium Plus Annual Membership – Audible on Amazon
I haven’t walked through everything Jen has, but Awake still hit home in all the best ways. It’s about waking up to your life and really seeing what matters, letting go of what doesn’t, and choosing joy even when it’s messy. Jen’s mix of humor, heart...
Awake Audiobook by Jen Hatmaker - A Memoir
If you’ve ever had a complicated relationship with your mom (hello, most of us), this one hits. Raw, honest, and weirdly funny. Jennette’s narration makes it feel like you’re in the car with her, spilling secrets.
I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy
This one stayed with me. Tia’s story of escaping Christian patriarchy and abuse is powerful, raw, and so well told — especially hearing her narrate it herself. It’s heartbreaking but deeply inspiring, and she handles such a heavy topic with honesty a...
A Well-Trained Wife - TIA LEVINGS
This one blew me away. Bethany Joy Lenz (yes, from One Tree Hill) tells her story of being pulled into and breaking free from a cult with honesty, wit, and so much strength. It’s wild, heartbreaking, and somehow still hopeful. She narrates it herself...
Dinner for Vampires
This one made me laugh, cry, and want to call my people. Tyler’s story about facing cancer and realizing how precious time really is feels like a wake-up call in the best way. He brings humor, heart, and a little Broadway flair to some big truths tha...
This Changes Everything: Funny Story on Race & More
I loved this one. It’s witty, heartfelt, and beautifully written. A story about grief, healing, and the unexpected connections that help you start again. Phoebe’s weekend away doesn’t go as planned (to say the least), but what unfolds is both funny a...
The Wedding People: A Novel
This one completely pulled me in. It’s glamorous, emotional, and full of twists — old Hollywood meets heartbreak and reinvention. The audiobook narration is fantastic (especially because it switches voices between Evelyn’s interviews and Monique’s st...
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo: A Novel
wasn’t expecting to love this one as much as I did. Pamela’s story is raw, reflective, and surprisingly poetic. She narrates it herself, which makes it even more powerful. It’s not about scandal; it’s about growth, resilience, and owning your story a...
Love, Pamela: A Memoir of Prose, Poetry, and Truth
This one broke my heart and made me cheer for her at the same time. Britney’s story is raw, painful, and powerful — finally told in her own words. Hearing it read aloud (with Michelle Williams narrating most of it) adds so much emotion. It’s about co...
The Woman in Me
Honest, funny, and full of heart. Busy narrates her own story, and it feels like chatting with your brutally honest best friend.
This Will Only Hurt a Little
Way deeper than I expected. Jessica’s narration makes this feel like catching up with a friend who’s finally telling you the real story.
Open Book: A Memoir
Wild, wise, and weirdly inspiring. McConaughey narrates it himself, and it’s somehow equal parts life advice, stand-up routine, and therapy session.
Greenlights
Wild doesn’t even begin to cover it. I couldn’t believe some of this was true and Julia’s narration makes it even more entertaining.
Down the Drain
I started listening to Mandy’s podcast when it first came out and was instantly hooked. She did such an incredible job investigating and reporting this story. Despite being bullied for her voice, threatened for digging into the family, and facing con...
Blood on Their Hands Audiobook by Mandy Matney
