TTT: Audio Freebie

I don't post that many TTT these days, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to talk audio. I was so torn between doing top audiobook vs top favorite songs, that I decided to split it up and do six and six. So without further ado, here are my top six audiobooks, and my top six all-time favorite songs.

Audiobooks:

  
  

Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling

I've listened to the whole series three times over the years (maybe even four--I've been trying to remember). I love Jim Dale's narration and love listening to these books more than reading them. 

Bossypantsby Tina Fey

Tina Fey is my spirit animal. I have listening to this audio no less than five times and it just never, ever gets old. I adore this audiobook.

Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins

I'm currently listening to this (for the second time). I love the three narrators and their English accents. 

Shit My Dad Says by Justin Halpern

Oh, this book, it cracks me up. I don't plan on ever being a parent, but this is definitely the kind I would be if I was. 

Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty

I never would have gotten through this book if it wasn't for the audio. I love the Aussie accent of the narrator.

Yes, Please by Amy Poehler

While I don't love this one as much as Bossypants, it is also a great audiobook read by the incomparable Amy Poehler. 

Songs:

 

Into the Mystic by Van Morrison

"I want to rock your gypsy soul." LOVE.

Lost Cause by Beck

"I'm tired of fighting. Tired of fighting. Fighting for a lost cause."

Halah by Mazzy Star

I could listen to Hope Sandoval sing the phone book. "Before I close the door, I need to, hear you say good-bye. Baby, won't you change your mind." I can clearly remember the first time I heard this song. I was driving back to town after the senior camp-out the day before graduation. The sun was coming up and I was hangover and exhausted, but oh-so-content with life, and after spending the entirety of my high school career in love with a boy who was sometimes my boyfriend (but most often not), this song spoke to me in a way I cannot even explain. 

Some Devil by Dave Matthews

"I wish I was dead and you were breathing, just so that you could know. You said always and forever. And I believed you, Baby. You said always and forever. It's such a long and lonely time." This song will be played at my funeral. 

Gold Dust Woman by Fleetwood Mac

Dude. Stevie Nicks's voice is incomparable. "Did she make you cry? Make you break down. Shatter your illusion of love. And is it over now? Do you know how to pick up the pieces and go home" 

Please, Please, Please by The Smiths

This is probably on every mixed CD I've ever made (it's the perfect filler song at 2 mins long). "Please, please, please. Let me, let me, let me. Let me get what I want this time." So much need. I adore his voice so much. 

That's it for me. What did you do for your audio freebie? Link me up!
