Welcome to the Cup of Tea’s Best Books of the Year, where I list the best of the best books I read this year.
Good writing makes a story come to life. But when it come to an audiobook, it’s a great narrator that brings a book vibrant and truly transports you to another world. Listening to audiobooks is always a pleasure, whether I am commuting to work or doing work around the house, listening to an audiobook is just as powerful and captivating if you were reading the book in print. Just like years pass, I listened to great audiobooks that really entranced me from beginning to end and I have a strong feeling that you will enjoy them as well.
