I had a few extra Audible credits to use, so I asked if anyone had a great audiobook that was worth the listen, and I was BLOWN AWAY by the response. I got so many awesome suggestions that I can’t wait to try and everyone wanted the list, so here it is!
I asked for relatively clean suggestions, but I haven’t listened to all of them, so I cannot vouch for every suggestion and everyone’s idea of clean is different, so follow your gut or turn it off it gets uncomfortable for you (you can also check Common Sense Media for a content review).
My qualification was engaging books with good readers and boy did people deliver.
I am breaking them down into Fiction, Non-Fiction, and Family Friendly. Starting with fiction today!

Have you ever read The Blue Castle? So good and so clean!
Thank you!!!
I mostly enjoyed A Man Called Ove but it was a little hard for me to get through and I would have liked knowing it dealt with attempted suicide before I read it. Thanks for this great list!
Thanks for the feedback!
Thank you for this fantastic compilation!! Do you have authors available? The Heist is a title for a few different books.
Each book is linked, so it should share the author there!
Oh thank you!! Haha I didn’t realize that! Lol
Is the link for the Heist correct? I tried and the book doesn’t seem link a comedy.
I am sorry! I will look into it!
Station Eleven by Emily St John Mandel is fascinating and pretty clean. Language may be the only issue.
Great list! I’ve read or listened to half of them! The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue probably needs a content warning. It says the F word several times & talks about sex. Firefly Lane probably needs one too for language too.
Thanks so much for that! This will be helpful to those reading the post!
Invisible life of Addie Larue had a lot of sexual content. I would definitely not recommend it as clean or mostly clean.
Thanks for the heads up. I haven’t listened to most of them so comments are helpful!
I have been working my way through this list and have really appreciated having it as a resource! I want to add one title: The Book of Lost Names by Kristin Harmel. It has one scene of intimacy that is not graphic.
Thank you so much for the addition!
