If you’re new to audiobooks or haven’t tried them yet, it may be reassuring to hear that I’m a convert to the medium. And I prefer my audiobooks to be on the short side: 7-10 hours is my sweet spot, though one of my recent listens was nearly 18 hours! I love lush descriptions and atmospheric settings, and a fast-moving plot is a plus (though not a requirement) in this format. I personally prefer fiction on audio (though I’m currently listening to Bill Bryson’s The Body: A Guide for Occupants).
