Listen to the Best Books of the Decade
As we prepare for the 10th Annual Goodreads Choice Awards, we took a look back at some of the past winners from the last decade. Not only are these considered the best books to read, they’re also considered the best books to listen to.
How did we create our star-studded walk down memory lane? We rounded up the winners from the most popular Goodreads Choice Award categories and narrowed down that list to books that have a least a 3.8-star rating on Goodreads and a 4-star rating on Audible. How many will you be listening to? Don’t forget to add your favorites to your Want to Read Shelf!
Which of these Goodreads Choice Award winners will you be listening to? Let us know in the comments!

I've read quite a few of these and look forward to adding more to my shelf. There's just not enough hours in the day for me to read each and every book! But here's to wishing! :-)
Why is Illuminae nowhere in sight?

These lists are usually that, based on some aggregated statistic stuff. Basically a popularity list. Would you say the most known people in your high school were the objectively best people? I doubt it. :D

You have a point, but everyone loved the Illuminae audiobook because of how good it was and how amazing the sound-effects were so it would've made sense if it appeared on this list
Circe needs to be on this list. Best audiobook narration ive ever heard!!!I also agree with the Illuminae comment
Also Mythos by Stephen Fry is brilliant - any of his narration is, such as HP series
Idk, I think the recommendations on fantasy and science fiction are quite weak.
The Paris wife's link is wrong... it takes you to one of the Fifty Shades books. I was very confused as to why that one was featuring...
Hmm, I always recommend Born a Crime: Stories From a South African Childhood to new - and all - audiobook listeners. It is the best audiobook I have ever listened to - and constantly a favorite on Audible, How can you have a list of audiobooks without it?

I am just reading Circe, so I'm going to give a go on the audiobook.

The fact that none of the above titles feature in my 27 Best Books of the Decade list just goes to show how spoilt for choice we audiobook listeners are and how many wonderful audiobook narrators there are these days. For example, I included amongst Jenny T Colgan's 'Resistance is Futile' amongst my best romantic audiobooks and Rupert Degas amongst my favourite audiobook narrators.
A lot of great books on this list!
