The Best Books of 2024 – Audiobooks (A Year-End List Aggregation)

“What are the best Audiobooks books released in 2024?” We looked at 53 of the top Audiobooks books, aggregating and ranking them so we could answer that very question!

The top 12 books, all appearing on 2 or more “Best Audiobooks” book lists, are ranked below by how many times they appear. The remaining 41 titles, as well as the sources we used, are in alphabetical order on the bottom of the page.

All of the books have Amazon affiliate links attached to them, but I will be building out Bookshop versions of these lists HERE in the next week for those who would rather support a local book store. Honestly, just use the bookshop link for books (Or even better go in person somewhere). If you are going to buy something else expensive from Amazon, feel free to click on the link before buying so I get an affiliate percentage, but these are the only articles I post on here each year, so I don’t expect to make any real money from this site anymore. I’ve just made these articels for enough years in a row that I can’t stop now. Plus I like using to see what books I missed or need to get myself.
