Our last poll looked at the best new sci-fi series of 2020. Next up on our look back at the best of the year are audiobooks!
It was just in October that we did a poll on audiobooks. We heard from plenty of you then who hadn't tried the genre but were willing to give it a shot. If that's you, we hope you did indeed pick up one of the titles that landed on the top 10 and if you did,we hope you loved it!
While the last poll featuring audiobooks was open to nominations of books produced any year, this poll is exclusive to audiobooks put out this year. We want to know: of all the great audiobooks that came out in 2020, which one was the very best?
We've kickstarted things with some of the ones we loved this year; don't see your favorite(s)? Nominate them! You can do that either here or in our Facebook group. And remember that this round you can nominate and vote for as many titles as you'd like, we'll pin you down to one selection next week.

I don’t buy audio books. They are priced way too high for my pocketbook.
Audible.com plus catalogue allows me to listen to as many audiobooks in the catalogue as I can handle at a low monthly charge. Others I buy when they are on sale. Audible is my guilty pleasure.
My days starts and ends with audiobooks.where I work I can listen to books for 12hrs a day and I love being able to re-listen to my favorites and even start a new title, being an adult with ADD sitting down to read and focus is really hard so listening is a big help, plus audible.com gives great deals & prices.

I don’t listen to audiobooks. I like reading the printed words.
Why bother to comment then? If you don’t listen audiobooks, then apparently this article isn’t directed at you.
Sorry, I’m retired and don’t have the money to buy audiobooks.
