NetGalley November Maybe Audiobook TBR

I did warn you that I was thinking of doing this: a NetGalley TBR of some of the audiobooks the lovely publishers/authors/PR companies have gifted to me via NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review/reaction. 

Now, I have quite a few to power through (too many, if I am going to be complete honest with you all), but there are a few that I would like to attempt to listen to (or just start then rage-quit them. These still count, and I fear I will write a post of my DNFs for your reading pleasure. Sorry in advance). So, while I am in the depths of October, writing this and wondering if I will actually follow through with my reading plans (I am a mood reader, we all know this), let me share a few audiobooks that I have my eye on…

Oh, not sure if this will be of any use to you but I have put some affiliate links in this post for some ease if any titles catch your eye. I’ll put a * next to the links for openness. Now, the titles on my radar this month…

A Memoir of My Former Self and Other Writings by Hilary Mantel*. I know - we are going literary fiction here. And, many years ago, I really disliked her collection of short stories, The Assassination of Margaret Thatcher, but I am really curious on Hilary’s writing. I have the audiobook of Wolf Hall and I have been curious on that title for YEARS so when I saw this, I wanted to try it out and see how I go. I’m keeping my expectations low as this will be a collection of essays throughout her life so some will be good, others not so much. 

We are going queer fantasy now and I have two titles here. Very excited to try and binge both of these over the month (or, more likely, to the end of the year). I’m not going to go into too much depth of these, but yes, they are queer. Yes, they are fantasy. And yes, I think they are both classed as New Adult titles so I sense these might be a little be sexy. If neither Ben Anderson’s Heir to Thorn and Flame and Helen Corcoran’s Daughter of Winter and Twilight* don’t tick all three of these boxes, I won’t be a happy bunny. 

I have a handful of crime audiobooks to review, but the one that I sense I will be leaning towards is Val McDermid’s Past Lying*. I haven’t read any of Val’s work so am going for it as she seems to be one of the modern queens of Crime, and I would love to revisit Scotland in the near future.

Anyway, I think I will leave this post here as I want to start my binge-reading and audiobooking. And I have a limited time in the next two weeks so I need to get a wiggle on my reading plans! Wish me luck!!!
