We love audiobooks. Our favorite kind to listen to, however, would have to be the celebrity memoirs. Being able to hear the actual voice of the celebrity telling their own stories from their own heart is really a game-changer when listening to a book. You can really feel their words. We also love when a famous actor narrates another book, because they’re obviously so talented at relaying the emotion and acting out the characters!
Our go-to for listening to audiobooks, of course, is Audible. It’s easily the top audiobook service out there, with a simple interface and a huge, huge, huge collection of books, from celebrity memoirs, to fiction, to podcasts, to science fiction, to self development and basically every other genre you can think of. It even has some exclusives!
The best part? You can start listening on Audible today for free. Sign up for the 30-day trial to get started. We’ve rounded up 10 celebrity-narrated memoirs to get you going!
