AudioFile’s Best Audiobooks of 2020

Every Monday through Friday, AudioFile’s editors recommend the best in audiobook listening. We keep our daily episodes short and sweet, with audiobook clips to give you a sample of our featured listens.

AudioFile Magazine is celebrating the best in this year’s audiobooks! Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Robin Whitten give a peek behind the scenes in the making of the 2020 Best Audiobooks list. In a year where audiobooks have meant so much to so many of us, choosing the titles that stood out above the rest was a difficult task. There are timely, heartfelt, and joyful audiobooks to dive into, all narrated with skill. Many of this year’s titles can provide you with an escape—and others will push you to explore important cultural and political topics. We commend all of the narrators and everyone who works behind the scenes to create memorable and moving audiobooks for us all.
