As always, I’m obsessed with my favorite audiobook narrators, but a lot of the narrators for these books haven’t been released yet. I’m blaming it on supply chain issues slowing book production down. A great narrator can make all the difference in the experience of listening to an audiobook, so I’m thrilled to see two of my favorites already and can’t wait to find out who will be narrating the rest. This list has it all: intergalactic adventure, a podcast tie-in, Jewish legend, ghosts, writing as healing, romance at a con, romance in the absence of a con, boy bands, historical, mystery, and the apocalypse. If you’re looking for a great LGBTQIA+ audiobook to listen to in the first half of 2022, here are 12 of my recommendations. This list is, as usual, skewed towards the first three months of the year because audiobooks often aren’t announced until closer to publication date, so we’re sure to be blessed with even more queer audiobooks later in the year. Did I miss any upcoming queer YA audiobooks that you’re looking forward to? Let us know! Looking for more audiobook recommendations?
