Attack of the Best Lists 2023: Audio Edition

This post is part of my year end "Attack of the Best Lists" coverage. To see every post in my "Attack of the Best Lists 2023" coverage [and more backlist best of the year options] you can click here.

Today I have Audio specific lists from Audible and Audiofile Magazine.

Both are separated into categories and include extra appeal information in their reviews, most importantly, comments about the narrators. The Audible list includes Podcasts as well.

A few things about these lists from you RA Service standpoint:

  • You can use these lists to make displays online with links to eAudio
  • You can use these lists to help fill out your in library displays even if ou have to put the print book on display. No one is double checking if you go the format correct and there is no library jail to send you to if they figure it out. With best lists, the more titles, the better.
  • Neither is great with obvious backlist access, so I have it here for you:
    • Audible Best of 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018 (I love how Audible's presentation of these lists has changed so much over the 5 years listed. It shows us a lot about how much the popularity of eAudio has exploded in the last few years)
    • Audiofile's Best of 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018
Have a look or a listen this weekend and add these titles to my general Best Books advice.
