Featured Article: The Best Audiobooks Under 8 Hours


Looking to listen to amazing stories and expert narration in less time than it takes to binge-watch your favorite TV series? Some of the best audiobooks aren’t terribly long: you can listen to them in one shot on a long road trip or in just a few sittings, meaning you're not left trying to remember what happened five chapters ago. Shorter audiobooks are also great for commutes and for doing tasks around the house because you can get lost in a listen without getting left on a cliffhanger. If you're looking for your next listen, we've rounded up some of the best audiobooks under eight hours across different genres.
