This week’s podcast episode covers a much-requested topic: our favorite audiobooks! Summer is a great time for reading and listening to more books — especially with road trips and/or just a slower schedule. And if you listen regularly to the podcast, you know we love audiobooks.
Whether you’re looking for a way to pass time while cleaning, cooking, or driving or you prefer listening to reading, this episode is packed with our favorite 20+ audiobooks to add to your listening library!
I managed to narrow my list down to 20 (okay, maybe a few more) and then Jesse shares some of his favorite series, too. We share a wide range of books — including my favorite book on habits, a book that inspired me to want to visit all the national parks, captivating fiction, eye-opening historical narratives, and more!
We also share how we find time to listen to audiobooks, when we listen to audiobooks, and how we listen to audiobooks. And we share how we never pay for audiobooks!
Powered by RedCircle
[0:35] – Jesse and I are diving into our favorite audiobooks and sharing 20+ recommendations!
[2:59] – We use the Libby app to listen to audiobooks on my phone (+ when I listen to them!)
[4:53] – I start by recommending Lisa Wingate’s Before We Were Yours.
[5:51] – I highly recommend The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society for its engaging, well-narrated story.
[7:11] – Jesse enjoys starting a series from the beginning, like Bill O’Reilly’s Killing series.
[9:39] – Next up on my list is The Tattooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris.
[10:53] – Dear Bob and Sue recounts a couple’s witty, sarcastic adventures visiting all U.S. national parks.
[13:23] – Jesse enthuses over Vince Flynn’s American Assassin, which starts a series completed by other authors after his death.
[14:11] – I mention the highly popular book Atomic Habits.
[16:42] – The next audiobook on my list is The Things We Cannot Say by Kelly Rimmer.
[17:18] – Pam Jenoff’s The Orphan’s Tale explores how Jews were hidden in circuses during World War II.
[17:50] – I also mention Georgia Hunter’s We Were the Lucky Ones, which tells the true story of a Jewish family’s survival during World War II.
[18:52] – Madeleine Martin’s The Last Bookshop in London is a soothing story that encourages me to read some classic works.
[19:38] – Jesse and I both enjoyed The President Is Missing and The President’s Daughter for their thrilling political insights and insider details.
[20:59] – Kristin Hannah’s The Great Alone vividly depicts the harsh, isolating life in Alaska.
[22:29] – I reflect on how Shelby Van Pelt’s Remarkably Bright Creatures, featuring an octopus was unexpectedly compelling.
[23:51] – Last year’s “summer book club” led me to Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys, sparking my interest in Sepetys’ other historical fiction works.
[25:22] – The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek and The Book Woman’s Daughter by Kim Michele Richardson are also compelling.
[27:49] – For younger kids, I recommend the Little House on the Prairie series, great for both reading and listening!

Interested in trying to lose weight and looking for the latest WeightWatchers deals? Don’t miss this HOT discount you can score right now!
WeightWatchers is currently offering your first 3 months at a discounted rate of $5/month when you commit to a 6-month subscription! Plus, your starter fee will be waived!
That means you’ll get a total discount of $74! And you’ll pay just $5 to get started today!
Valid for a limited time only.
That’s it! You can get started right away!
Note: To get this deal, you have to commit to a 6-month subscription. You’ll pay just $5/month for the first 3 months and then the regular rate for the following 3 months. After your 6-month introductory offer, your account will auto-renew at the standard monthly cost unless you cancel.
Based on groundbreaking nutritional and behavior change research, the current WW program is completely personalized for the first time ever! When you sign up, you’ll be asked a series of questions that helps tailor the program to your preferences, allergies, diet choices, favorite foods, and more.
For example, I’ve been using WW on and off for almost 20 years. One thing that I haven’t liked in recent years is that as a vegetarian, I was really limited on my low-point protein options. But this time around, when I signed up, I was matched with a few protein options — eggs, lowfat yogurt, quinoa, etc. — to be ZeroPoint foods on my personalized plan! A few of my go-to favorite foods are also zero points for me (like avocados, whole wheat pasta, and potatoes). It’s really cool!
And on top of that, you’ll earn points for doing healthy things — like eating veggies, drinking water, and moving more.
The WW award-winning app makes it easier to lose weight while getting to eat more of the foods you love. It also includes 24/7 coach chat, weekly progress reports, a food barcode scanner (super easy to use!), a restaurant database, on-demand workouts, and more!
If you’ve been wanting to try their new program, now is a GREAT time to do so while they’re offering this deal!
This is such a great offer because of the deeply discounted rate that we rarely see!
Also, when you commit to a longer subscription, you’re much more likely to see results than if you just try the program for one month — and results are what we love!
The typical monthly fee for the Core Plan starts at $23 per month for a monthly subscription, and decreases to roughly $14 per month for an annual subscription. There is also a $20 starter fee (which is waived if you sign up for the annual subscription or for special promotions sometimes.)
Through this deal, you can get 3 months at just $5/month!
WeightWatchers usually has a few different deals to choose from depending on what you’re looking for and the time of year. You can choose from a few different plans and lengths of time — which varies the promotion and pricing.
If you’ve been wanting to try WeightWatchers, this is a really great opportunity!! Valid for a limited time only.

If you’re looking for the latest Sam’s Club membership deals, don’t miss this discount going on right now!
If you’ve been thinking about getting a Sam’s Club membership, you can currently grab a one-year membership for just $25!
This is a nice discount off of the regular price of $50 and a nice Sam’s Club membership discount, because you don’t have to pay very much out of pocket for your membership!
Psst! Want a deal on the Plus Membership? You can get $40 off — making it just $70 instead of $110!
Valid for new members only who have not had a Sam’s Club membership in the past 6 months.
While a warehouse membership can definitely save you money, it also has to make sense for your family.
A Sam’s Club membership can easily pay for itself, depending on your family’s needs, geographical location, and your spending habits. (In fact, many people get a membership just for the gas savings alone!)
As a Sam’s Club member, you can score discounts on tons of brand-name products, plus you’ll get great prices on fresh produce, USDA-choice beef, oven fresh baked goods, organic foods, and SO much more.
They even have great deals on brand name clothing, home goods, and electronics (like tablets and cell phones!).
(Psst! Looking for other alternatives as you consider the options? A Costco membership or Amazon Subscribe & Save are both great, too. It’s so important to evaluate your family’s unique needs!)
If you’re interested in getting started with Sam’s Club, this is a nice discount, so don’t miss it! Go here to get started for just $25!
Every Sam’s Club membership comes with a completely free complimentary membership for one other member of the family. So essentially, you’ll pay the same for a membership for 2 people as you would for just one person!
Though there is not always a membership deal running, you can frequently find some kind of Sam’s Club membership deal. And we try to always update this post with the most current (and BEST) deal available!
No, there are not currently any other deals available. This $25 deal is the best discount you’ll find right now!
The main difference between the $45 Club membership and the $100 Plus membership is that with the more expensive $100 option, you get access to pharmacy and optical savings plus free shipping on all your online purchases. You’ll also earn 20% more cash back on your purchases and get access to early in-store shopping hours!
No. Unfortunately, as of 2022, Sam’s Club does not offer senior discounts.
