Out of the clear blue sky, an acquaintance of mine who is an adult man, probably 10-15 years my senior, asked me for an audiobook recommendation for an upcoming road trip he was heading out on.
I was humbled that he thought of me for this task, but then swiftly started racking my brain for what I could recommend that would be good for a solo road trip. I’ve read so many books, and listened to a ton of them, and so I turned to my Goodreads account and scrolled through until I found a few that made the cut.
He asked for 3 recommendations, and I gave him 7. What can I say, I’m an overachiever.
In no particular order, here are the 7 titles I sent to him to consider for an audiobook on a long road trip:
Theo of Golden by Allen Levi, The Correspondent by Virginia Evans, We Were The Lucky Ones by Georgia Hunter, My Friends by Frederik Backman, This Tender Land by William Kent Krueger, Carrie Soto is Back by Taylor Jenkins Reid, A Life in Parts by Bryan Cranston.
On a similar note, I shared a blog post of my top 5 single-episode podcasts that I STILL think about to this day. You can find them here.
