She’s never met a beach she didn’t like, always says yes to dessert, loves ‘80s nostalgia, all forms of entertainment, and can hold a conversation using only gifs.

This Riot Recommendation asking for great audiobooks for book club is sponsored by Penguin Random House Audio.

Book clubs are back in action, and so are many other fall activities. Audiobooks are the perfect complement to your busy schedule since you can listen while you do other things (multi-tasking at its best!). You won’t be unprepared for book club again! Listen to new releases such as The Witch Elm by Tana French, Florida, written and read by Lauren Groff or Christina Dalcher’s Vox, and enjoy a whole new book club experience.

The only negative we see with audiobooks is we’ve yet to figure out how to listen to an audiobook while also reading a book in print. You gotta have goals, people! And while we work on that we want to hear your recommendations for great audiobooks for book club! We asked for some audiobooks that you can’t put down, love listening to the narrator(s), and will have your book club full of chatter. Here’s your list of great audiobooks for book club!
