My Top 7 Audiobooks of 2024

Anytime I’m in a plane, train, or automobile, I love delving into an audiobook. Thanks to all the traveling I did in 2024, I also got to discover some incredible listens. Upon reflecting on my favorites, I realized that they span a range of topics and genres, but the thing they all have in common is brilliant narration.

Bonus discovery: I also found that listening to an audiobook instead of watching a show while crossing time zones helps me avoid jet lag—another reason to keep my headphones handy on long trips!

P.S. Most of these audiobooks are available for free through library apps like Libby and Hoopla. Follow the links provided below to see where I got each one.

Here are my top 7 audiobooks from 2024:

  1. Trevor NoahBorn A Crime

  2. David WhyteWhat to Remember When Waking and Clear Mind, Wild Heart

  3. Jim Dale’s narration of the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling

  4. Rick RubinThe Creative Act
    (I also love his podcast, Tetragrammaton)

  5. Elizabeth GilbertCity of Girls

  6. Sadhguru VasudevInner Engineering

  7. Dara MolloyReimagining the Divine
    (Charlie and I actually got to spend a day with Dara when we visited Inis Mór last year! It was fascinating to learn about the island’s history from a Celtic monk and mystic who has such an intimate relationship with the land.)
