45+ of Your Favorite Audiobooks for a Long Road Trip
This Riot Recommendation is sponsored by Penguin Random House Audio.
The summer months are a great time for road trips with the whole family, but the car ride can get old…quick. Listen to an audiobook the whole family can enjoy and your destination will arrive in no time! Visit TryAudiobooks.com/Family-Travel for suggested listens and for a free audiobook download of MY FATHER’s DRAGON!
The “are we there yets,” the constant bathroom stops, the close quarters, the songs and games–there’s nothing like a road trip to bring family closer together and test the limits of one’s patience. Treats from that roadside beef jerky joint won’t ensure a carload of happy travelers, but you can count on audiobooks to pull your fam out of a road trip slump.
We asked you to tell us your favorite books for a long road trip and you responded. Here are more than 45 of your favorites!
