I'm canceling my Audible subscription and have a few final credits to use. Seeking recommendations for #audiobooks .
Kinds of things I'm looking for:
* History, especially of places, people, and perspectives I didn't get in school in the USA
* Science fiction / fantasy
* Light reads for when everything is just too much
* Anything you think is extra remarkable
@ricci@discuss.systems If you haven't read the Raksura series by Martha Wells, it's definitely worth using some credits on that. The audiobooks for that series are available exclusively through Audible, I believe. Fantasy isn't usually my jam, but this series avoids all the fantasy tropes that annoy me the most, and the setting is truly creative. Plus, the narrator does a fantastic job. Start with The Cloud Roads.
For history, I recommend Late Victorian Holocausts by Mike Lewis.
Re: Cloud Roads, while I do have a soft spot for the fantasy tropes, I love a book that intentionally avoids or modifies them, this looks great!
Re: Late Victorian Holocausts, yeah that sounds like a tough but important listen, exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for
Thanks!
