I've somewhat recently become addicted to audiobooks. Every time I'm in my car or doing something mindless I put on an audiobook. I had a good stretch of one book I liked after another but now am looking to dig a little deeper. The books I've listened to so far were all books that I kept seeing being recommended over and over again.

Dungeon Crawler Carl Expeditionary Force Bobiverse Project Hail Mary The Martian The Expanse The Children of Time The Silo series Murderbot

Am I missing anything that gets consistently recommended?

What would you recommend that would fit with that list?

Other books I've tried but didn't love

Three body problem The Witcher books Wheel of Time

I've heard that the narrator for Name of the Wind audiobook was excellent, so if you don't want to tear your hair out in frustration with that "likely to never be completed" series, you can try to find other books narrated by him.

I'm not seeing anything by Brandon Sanderson on your list, so if you are looking for "consistently recommended" books then that would be anything by Sanderson. Mistborn is the standard starting point for his books.
