Thanks for all your support!
The first audiobook that I genuinely loved (and continues to be my favorite) is Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe. It's narrated by Lin-Manuel Miranda, which is what got me to listen to it. He did a fantastic job and I love the storyline
ryan p Yaaaasssssss!
I'm really getting into audiobooks recently! One that I really enjoyed recently was All The Bright Places by Jennifer Niven. It was told by a male and female for each perspective and I loved it!!
I use audiobooks for every book I read. I follow along with them. It engulfs me both visually and audibly. I love using audiobooks.
I get that audiobooks are real books, but I've just never been able to get into a story by listening, and it's just not a good media for me. Even when I'm watching TV, I have the subtitles on.
Lol I think I just realized why I like subtitles so much.
I always have the subtitles on and it drives my family crazy.

you can add music in the background for setting, tone of voice.. also listening to Audio Book you can work at the same time, work out.. anything.
not everyone goes on the train/bus and has the time to sit there with a book for hours everyday.
I also use subtitles though, but it's mainly so I can have my volume low and not miss anything!
netsurferloveskpopsimsbooks does jimin look like he is in exo..
I love it when people talk about audiobooks! I feel like there's an underlying shame because you're not physically reading the book, personally I love them.
can you do an updated version of this video pls? I would love to know which new audiobooks you’d recommend. I’m new to the audiobook version of reading and idk what to choose next. I finished the Six of Crows books and I loved the multiple voices :)
The raven cycle audio book is AMAZING. The actor's voice is deep and beautiful and it takes the book from just another fantasy story to something absolutely magical. He makes all the characters seem like they are beside you and your the silent raven, watching, listening. It's just amazing okay.
yesyesyes his voice added sooo much to the story
Ready player one, Harry Potter, and hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy are my favorite audiobooks!
I use Overdrive for audiobooks and I really like it! One of my favorite audiobooks is Ready Player One! I thought the narrator was really great at capturing the main character's voice. :)
This is probably my favourite audiobook so far too!
Wil Wheaton rocks the narration!
Love that book!
sandyreadsalot loved it! He also narrated Armada by Ernest Cline and it was just fantastic!
i just tried audio books 3 days ago. at first i was hesitant. that it wasnt the same with actual books, the feeling is different etc. but damn, listening to audio book is great. i can listen to it while doing my thesis, doing my household chores and walking. The only problem was me controlling my emotions. Yesterday, I was listening to the audio book The Glittering court by Richelle Mead while buying some groceries. a major plot twist happened, then suddenly people are looking at me. i just realized that my face was in shock and I am almost screaming in frustration.
Carry On in audiobook form amplifies the feels to the thousandth power. The narrator was so good. He perfectly characterized all the characters in the book. His Baz was phenomenal, it was exactly how I imagined Baz would sound like. I know I'm probably sounding like Kat right now but I just love this novel. 8 MONTHS AND COUNTING!
Love you Jesse!!!!! Your passion for books inspires me!!! 💕
I love audiobooks (and audible), I love listening to them when I feel too tired to read :) my favourites are definitely the Harry Potter audiobooks, they're great!
I love the idea of this video! It was really nice how you explained each audiobook and why did you like them so much :)
WHEN I STARTED THIS VIDEO I HAD THE SPEED ON x1.25 and you WHOOSHED in and I was like "omg that was so fast HOW'D HE WHOOSH SO FAST THIS IS SO UNLIKE HIM" then I clicked the settings and saw it was on that speed and laughed at myself
Love audiobooks I have a very long drive to work and it helps me to feel productive and also power through my TBR pile (which is now bookcase sized). Some are hard to get into but I feel that the more you do it, the easier it is to slip into a new narrator. :) Glad you love audiobooks too Jesse!
As someone who has a giant TBR audio books can only help with that. When I absolutely can't sit down to read an actual book, it is really nice to be able to listen to a book while I run errands or clean my house etc. it is actually a very good way to get reading done when you are busy with life and it totally counts as as actually reading.
I really enjoy these recommendations! You should definitely do an updated version of this video :) I'd love to hear what new audiobooks you've liked lately! I got really into audiobooks late last year and now I'm always looking for good recs!
I just finished listening the audiobook of "Me before you" and it was amazing, the narrator was really great, she made me feel a lot of emotions
Same Jesse!! I absolutely LOVE audiobooks, I think I like them because I was introduced to them at a very young age (five I think) I know some people don't feel totally immersed in the story but it is the opposite for me, i'm a very hyperactive person so being able to move around is really great for me.
I started regularly listening to audiobooks last year and I'm loving them too. I honestly don't know how I ever got through life without them now as I'm hooked to the convenience. I definitely think people just need to find what works for them and build it up from there. I can now listen to almost anything and have slowly built up the speed too. So now for example I am able to listen to some audiobooks at 2x which makes me feel quite accomplished.
I absolutely love the Outlander audiobooks!!!
I'm almost finished the third book on nearly under a week, she's so good at narrating and she really embodies the characters so well!!!
I solely use audiobooks and I wholeheartedly love them. I also almost always read along with the book copy. It helps me focus and I just genuinely like to be read to.
Thank you for your great videos!
I love audiobooks!! There are so many good ones.
First video I watch from your channel and I loved it. Subscribing now! Loved the recomendations as well.
I love the Stephen Fry Harry Potter audiobooks!
It's the BEST! I love it!
Jim Dale all the way!!
Listened to the first one last month. So good xx
I agree about A Man Called Ove! I loved that book, and the narrator made it all the better. His humor was perfect for the character and I loved his Pat voice.
So grateful for audiobooks I was a die hard real paper in hand books but then I got sick and it effects my brain and since as a kid I was dyslexic(technically I still am but I had ways to get my brain to enjoy reading anyway) it also messes with my eyes so audio is my only option and I love how a narrator is can make or break a book.
I really liked the Graceling audiobook, the music and sound effects work really well with the story, and the characters are voiced by different people. It really made me feel immersed in the book
i have an audible subscription. only 1 credit per month, but I also use overdrive to get audiobook from the library. sometimes, on audible, I actually choose books based on who is narrating. a good vs bad narrator can really change the experience. probably my all time favorite from audible was Dracula... it had a full cast and a soundtrack and it was really immersive. -sam
I started listening to audiobooks last autumn due to me travelling by longdistance bus to work and wanting something other than music to listen to. Now it's my go-to thing to put on when I want to read but at the same time have other stuff that needs to be done :) Thanks to audiobooks I actually got into the Percy Jackson series; I was very doubtful about it being something I could enjoy because I almost felt too old for it. But the narrator - Jesse Bernstein - did a fantastic job and I've now gone through all five books in the space of about five and a half months :)
the Raven cycle was an awesome set of audiobooks
Jesse you are so awesome
thanks for the recommendation Jesse ♡
the night circus audiobook is one of my favorite :") !!
I listen to about 3 audiobooks a week at work . It helps me get through more books that I want to read. Love them! I get anthem all from my library through overdrive as well as Hoopla and getting the CDs.
I need to give in and get audible. I hate waiting on overdrive lol
I really loved the Martian, the diviners, and daughter of smoke and bone on audio 😍
The Help was honestly soooo great to listen to! They had different voice actors for Aibileen, Skeeter, & Minny (Octavia Spencer was actually the voice for her on the audiobook!). They spoke with the southern draw & dialect of a 60’s Jackson, Mississippi woman & it was AWESOME!
The full cast production of Alien: Out of the Shadows was a lot of fun to listen to. The cast did an amazing job. It's very intense sci-fi. Thanks for sharing. I use audio books a lot, and I agree that they are a form of reading.
I LOVE audiobooks! And I'm finishing A Man Called Ove on audio tonight. So great and very charming.
I love listening to audiobooks too!! One night, while I was listening to Stephen Fry's narration of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone at night, I fell asleep. My dream was soo weird and unusual that night consisting of a series of action-packed, heart-pumping adventures!!
I'm currently listening ACOMAF and the narrator is so good! I'm loving it, before ACOMAF I listened to Sleeping Giants and that audiobook was great! The book was good but I'm convinced that the narrators made the book even better.
I need to find a copy of Winter and Fairest and I am way to excited about it.
I love the TFIOS audiobook version narrated by John Green himself - the emphasis he placed on certains phrases or words really gave me new insight into the book in certain places, and I just loved hearing it as I imagine it would have heard in his own head when he wrote the words for the first time.
The I am number four series!!! So good!
Honestly, I've never actually tried an audiobook but I don't really want to - I think they're definitely the same as books! But I don't think they're for me. I feel like they'd slow down my reading and not let me become as immersed since I can't pick out the tone or voice of the characters. Maybe it's also cause I hate movies/TV shows and I feel like audiobooks are getting too close to that type of media for me!
#spiritanimal 😘
i thought the same for a long time, but then i decided to give it a try, ONLY as an addition to reading regular books. like when i'm doing chores, times i want to read, but i can't hold a physical book, when i'm doing my makeup, etc. and any GOOD narrator will alter their voice for each character, really making them different, and letting you get into it. i never thought i would like audiobooks, but now that i've given them a shot, i'm really into it, and it's an awesome way to sneak even MORE reading into my life. and now i feel like audio will be the perfect format for really dense books that i'm scared to get into, like game of thrones. i recommend the diviners if you haven't read/listened to it. the woman who narrates that does a great job.
i would just say give it a try, because i was surprised at how much i liked audiobooks, and i thought i would hate them, and not be able to follow or get into anything
Kate Pfeil how does one hate movie and tv. And how does a book become like a movie. Isn't it meant to be like one since movies are based off books
I've been looking for videos like this for the past few weeks! I'm trying to get into audiobooks, but I just didn't know where to start haha.
listened to the entire lunar chronicles series on audiobook and i have to agree rebecca is an AMAZING narrator 😄
This is how I'm getting through Lunar Chronicles too (audio). Selection series is one of my favorites and the harry potter books. I couldn't read harry potter without the audio.
I love Overdrive! I'm currently listening to Outlander with whisper sync, and I'm enjoying it.
OMG I love the lunar chronicles!!
I just finished cinder on audible!!! So good!!!
I love audiobooks, I rarely read an actual book anymore because I just love to listen to my audiobook and draw/paint at the same time :b
Just finished listening to Cinder and oh man it was such a good listen!
I love audiobooks. I listen to them while I go on walks every day and it's so nice and makes me actually want to excercise. I just started We Were Liars on audible and the narrator is amazing. I also love the audiobooks for The 5th Wave and The Sea of Tranquility!
Ah I read Off the Page audiobook too! I agree, it was a really nice format to read it.
I like your t-shirt!
Omg, the Illuminae audiobook is one of the best I've heard, definitely recommend it.
I really loved the " code name verity" audio book. Those narrators were fantastic
I LOVE the Lunar Chronicles audiobooks!! I had never really liked audiobooks before, but I had finished reading the series & just couldn't bring myself to leave that world yet. So commutes home became Cinder time. I listened through Cress and definitely agree that the narrator is amazing!
The tales of beedle the bard is awesome as a bedtime story
Morena Baccarin is amazing!😍 I was so excited when I found out that she narrated Lady Midnight.
The Raven Cycle audiobooks are SO good!!! I listened to them when I wanted to reread the series before The Raven King. They're narrated by the actor Will Patton and he does it so perfectly. Also, Overdrive is the best!
love the Raven Cycle audiobooks! I did exactly the same as you, reread/relistened to the audio books before I read The Raven King :)
Carry On and Fangirl were great. Also, reading memoirs when the author does the narration are great like Bossypants by Tina Fey, Yes Please by Amy Poehler, NPH's book, etc. It's like you're having a personal (albeit one-sided) conversation with them and it's really fun. Also, major love for Overdrive.
I really enjoyed listening to the audiobook for Ready Player One. It is narrated by Wil Wheaton so the nerd quotient was fabulous.
I use both audible and overdrive. I drive an hour to work, so it is really nice to have a book to listen to. I use to fall into the camp of audio books aren't books. However, as I am old now, and more mature, I have come around. It is like having your mom read to you, which I do for my littles. I actually started audio books because I kept hearing that the Illuminae version was great, and it really is.
Hi Jesse! Can you pls do an updated favorite audiobooks video???
I used to not really enjoy audiobooks, I have a very short attention span and I felt like the story never really sunk in. BUT- I recently listened to The Raven Boys on audiobook and absolutely loved it. I'm on Dream Thieves now and it's even better. Definitely a great series for audio format!!!
the Jim Dale Harry Potter audiobooks are some of my favorites. I also really like The School for Good and Evil audiobooks and my all time favorites are the Falling Kingdoms series audiobooks. The narrator really did an amazing job with all of the characters but I LOVE the voice he does for Magnus
I've been listening to audiobooks for several years (my mom is blind and has gotten the whole family loving them) and I LOVE them. My favorites are Sense and Sensibility narrated by Flo Gibson, any P. G. Wodehouse at all, but especially the ones by Jonathan Cecil. I also love David Eddings Belgariad and Mallorean series read by Cameron Bierle.
Before I started watching booktube, I hadn't read many books. I couldn't relate to any on the books in your videos. Now because I have read much more books, I recognize and have read every book in this video.
A Man Called Ove has been my best book discovery in years!
I loved Illuminae as an audiobook and can't wait for Gemina.
Clockwork Princess was narrated by Daniel Sharman and it was just magical. His voice is exactly how I imagined Will's voice.
I loved listening to the maze runner series and the fifth wave series on audiobook! Also the guy who narrates for the bane chronicles is awesome!
I'm listening to The Book Thief at the moment. I'm loving it. Audible is great xx
The audibooks for the Lunar Chronicles are really good.
Another good audiobook is the one for Finding Audrey by Sophie Kinsella.
I never listed to audio books. I am going to try hoopla app. my library offers it,its free and u have 21 days to "rent" the downloaded audiobooks. Have u ever done a review of this app? I would love to see it. plus, just subscribed to ur channel. Love ur personality!
I really enjoyed listening to room by Emma Donoghue . being written in the perspective of a small child could get a little frustrating to read but being able to listen to it the way the child would've spoken helped a ton and made it really enjoyable
The audiobook for The Martian it's really good. Where I live (Peru) a paperback was actually really expensive so I gave audioable a try and it was a lot of fun. Nice job Jesse!!
I love audiobooks!!!!!!!
I'm listening to Cinder right now on Audiobook! So good - and you're totally right. Makes Iko twice as hilarious as she is on the page. I also thought the Legend series by Marie Lu was even better on Audiobook than it would have been reading the book.
Its funny because I'm about half way through the audio book of The Book Theif and am loving it!
I just finished listening to the Lunar Chronicles and they were fantastic! I started listening to audiobooks in January and I've been loving it. So far one of my absolute favorites has been The Chaperone by Laura Moriarty, it was stunningly narrated by Elizabeth McGovern. I couldn't stop listening to it and I immediately searched for other books narrated by her. The story was wonderful too!
I love pairing audiobooks with the hard copy.... my husband jokes that it's 3-D reading. I really enjoy when audiobooks have multiple narrators both male and female to portray the story. The Fever series by Karen Marie Moning (maybe starting after book 4) were really great in audio format. I also like to listen to all of the Throne of Glass books on audio too.
I loved cinder on audio book!!!
I really love the SixOfCrows audio book! It's amazing :)
I love the grandfather descriptor because thats how I felt about the narrator for the mavolus world of oz
The audiobook of Illuminae is amazing!!!
Love Audible!! I have never listened to audiobooks in the past so this video was wonderful! I love The Martian by Andy Weir, voice by R.C Bray. He does such a good job embodying all the characters. I also heard Ready Player One was a good audio book.
I've been on vacation so I haven't been able to watch this videos. But I love audiobooks. I use overdrive and love it. Percy Jackson series, heroes of Olympus, Kane chronicles, Harry Potter series, lunar chronicles, narnia, BBC full cast audio Sherlock Holmes, pennyroyal academy, a book of a thousand days, are my favorite to listen to. I regularly borrow them and re-listen to them at least once a year.
The Beautiful Creatures audiobook is pretty good too I think
I love the Harry Potter audiobooks they are read by Stephen Fry and he is just so good.
Jesse! Awesome vid :) I've been listening to an audiobook a month for a while now, also via audible and it's been a great experience! I cannot find some of the titles with the narrators you mention :O
The Harry Potter audiobooks are definitely to be recommend, and my most recent one is Caitlin Moran's How to be a woman, which is great as well!
I have yet to listen to a bad audiobook. I've become addicted to them in May and now I have to listen to the audiobook for every book I read. The Raven Cycle, The Martian, Daughter of Smoke and Bone, and The Winner's Curse have all been fantastic!
I have Cinder, but I still have yet to read it. I also read The Book Thief, I did like it, and even though I did read it in 2014, now I kind of feel like I should reread it soon but not now. I have been wanting to read TID and TMI, but I'm still a little bit hesitant to read them. I actually saw A Man Called Ove one day on Amazon and right then I put it on my Amazon wish list!
I spotted A Torch Against the Night in one of your bookshelves~~~
The Hunger Games had a really good narrator and I still remember her name because of the way she said it. "My name is Carolinne McCormik."
Audiobooks have revolutionized my reading!!! I can read really fast and multitask with it.
I used to think they weren't for me either. And I thought it was just for non-fiction stuff. BUT THEN I got into this place called ADULTHOOD and I had to do my own chores, work, laundry and many other responsibilities. It was hard to find time to read. Audiobooks have really helped.
I read my last three books via audiobook. My fave of the three is the one for We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson. The narrator just GOT the character of Merricat Blackwood, and her voice put the right creepy atmosphere, which did justice to the modern classic.
Northern lights by Phillip Pullman is such a good audiobook, it's narrated by the author who has an awesome voice, and also a full cast of different narrators
I've never tried audiobooks, but I want to so bad! I will try some of your recommendations and also try audible! Thanks Jesse :)
