I Read 143 Audiobooks in 2022, Here's My Top Picks

December 27, 2022

Danny, our ever avid Audiobook fan, managed to consume over 140 audiobooks this year. Yeah, I feel seen and will not share how few books I’ve read (print or audio) this year. But while it might be too late to listen to that many books by the end of 2022, that doesn’t mean you can’t get in a few quality options.

That’s why Danny put together a list of the best books he listened to this year. Not the full 143, mind you, but the best eight. Check out the top story to get the full list.

Other Highlights:

• Did you get a new Kindle for Christmas? Let’s help you make the most of it.
• Check out this cool 19-passenger hydrogen electric plane.
• Google is rolling out a useful privacy feature for free.
• … and more!
