Hello!
This post is a tad late, but I thought I’d do it anyway!
These are my favourite audiobooks I listened to last year. (Not necessarily 2020 releases).
Black Girl Unlimited by Echo Brown
This is a really moving, magic-realism semi-autobiographical book about Echo Brown’s life. It’s an amazing story. I haven’t heard many talk about it. It’s severely underrated!
Full review here.
Why I’m No Longer Talking to White People About Race by Reni Eddo-Lodge
Everyone needs to read/listen to this book. It’s very informative and educational. I learnt so much from listening to this. It’s basically required reading.
Let Me Hear a Rhyme by Tiffany D. Jackson
I really enjoyed this, it was fun. The music aspect was really cool too, hearing it was really effective. I’m not sure I would’ve enjoyed this as much in print.
Review here.
The Queen of Nothing by Holly Black
This was an unexpected fave. I didn’t plan to finish this series, I’m glad I did. I really enjoyed this conclusion. I ended up binging the entire audiobook in one day…
Review here.
Odd and the Frost Giants by Neil Gaiman
Neil Gaiman has the most magical, light-hearted short stories. This was one. It was incredibly short but so lovely to listen to. Neil narrates it himself and he is absolutely wonderful.

I read Why I’m No Longer Talking to White People about Race last year but know it’s something I’d definitely come back to and read again. Maybe next time, I’ll listen to the audiobook.

It’s a good audiobook, feels personal as it’s read by the author herself!

Going to see if I can find these audiobooks on my library apps, I read a print copy of Queen of Nothing and loved it!

I think Queen of Nothing was the one book I was really excited to read last year, but it was also one of those books I’d had a bloated expectation for, and ended up being wildly underwhelmed. But I think I really want to read Black Girl Unlimited, it sounds so good!

I wish I read the whole series on audio. I’ll probably reread as audio in the future!
