Audiobooks - What are you listening to?

[meahtenoha]

Lots of folks come to the Community looking to chat about Audiobooks. 

In the Word section of Browse, you can explore our audiobooks catalogue. 

Share the 'Word' finds you've been enjoying and find other fans here. What do you all recommend?

Hi there, I really like the idea of this but I can not actually find the 'word' section in the genre/mood section.. maybe its due to the fact I am in Britain?

Same here, cannot find the "word" section, would be highly interested in a easy way to browse the available audiobook per category.

Been listening to Karl Marx communist manifesto which is so relevant considering the Brexit issues.
Love having stories read to me at night and even better with a cool voice in another language I can't understand (weird oh)
Found Anthony Valentine but he's only reading one
Enjoying the search!

Also unable to find WORD in browse and wondered if it's cos I'm on my phone and not the laptop et al.
Search names of people, authors or just audiobooks

If you are unable to find WORD in Spotify, try the http://www.spooksapp.com/ or http://www.audioobook.com/ to find the popular audio books on Spotify.

There's no word section in my "Genres and Moods", as for so many other people. What's wrong?

Hi.

I can't seem to find the category Words under my browse section. It's not listed.

Any ideas?

Thx.

PG.

Schon versucht?

Suche in Spotify nach "Hoerbuch" dann findest du eine Audio-Anleitung und ziemlich viele Hoerbuecher.

Ive been listening to a lot of Tamora Pierce books on spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/5kC12jcqAdjZ8D17vkVg7a

Unfortunately only the books she recorded with Full Cast Audio are avaliable for listening. Anything recorded with Penguin Random House, such as The Lioness Quartet and the Protector of the Small Quartet, are not present. 

I'm looking for fantacy and sci-fi young adult books to listen to if anyone has suggestions, there are practically none in the new "word" category, which is mostly filled with poetry and classics. Adding podcasts to spotify was a great idea, if the same was done for audiobooks and there was a push to get new books onto the app then I would subscribe to Spotify for life. Other audiobook apps are unweildy, expensive, and/or have a poor selection. Spotify has the potential to be none of those things!
