#23: The Ultimate Romance Audiobook Gui...

Bookish Media
About this episode

This week on Off The Shelf, Morgann shares her favourite romance audiobooks from swoony classics to laugh-out-loud romcoms to sweeping romantasy worlds.


Here’s what we dive into:

  • Classics, reimagined: How Audible’s Pride and Prejudice full-cast performance breathes new life into Darcy, Lizzy, and every swoon-worthy moment.
  • Modern love on audio: Why Emily Henry is even better narrated, the audiobook that made Morgann laugh out loud in public, and her go-to pick for the spiciest listen.
  • Romantasy comfort reads: Which fantasy audiobooks Morgann replays like comfort shows, and why Elizabeth Evans is the voice of the genre.
