That changes the criteria for what gets on the list, which is nice, because there are many, many lists of the best of everything at this time of year. It has to be exceptional listening it has to be an audio experience that people will remember. One of the things that we try to do with AudioFile’s list is to make sure it is audiocentric. We start with that group of exceptional audiobooks, and then try to bring that down into nine categories of: fiction, nonfiction & culture, memoir, biography & history, mystery, romance, sci fi, teens, and then children & family listening. Out of that number, maybe 200 or so are given our Earphones Awards, which means that the reviewer has designated them as exceptional. So far we’ve done 2,500 audiobook reviews. The books on our ‘best audiobooks of 2022’ list come from the many reviews that AudioFile has done during the year.
