My audiobook flowchart was such a big hit last year, that I’ve decided to bring it back. Follow this chart (click on the image to enlarge it), answer the questions, and find your next audiobook. Links to the reviews for each are below. Let me know what book you get in the comments.
Since last June, I’ve listened to 31 audiobooks. This chart includes some of my favorites from the past year (but not necessarily published within the last year).

This flowchart is AWESOME! I read THE SELECTION in print. I despised the book, but I think I should have listened to it on audio, since I’m a big fan of Amy Rubinate.

I’m reviewing that later this week. I actually ended up liking it but I can understand why one wouldn’t.

Aren’t you clever! I’m thinking I missed this last year because I was overseas during this week. And of course this year I’m completely in the weeds with my kids and my family and didn’t do a single audio thing (except one audio review). Boo me.
