Here at The Everymom, we’re always on the lookout for good book recommendations, and our team regularly shares our favorites in our company-wide Slack chats. And with movie and TV productions ramping up again after delays due to the pandemic over the last few years, our TBR lists are growing fast as we aim to read (or listen to!) titles soon coming to the big or small screens. After all, there’s just nothing like watching characters you love appear onscreen after first experiencing their story unfold in a “can’t put it down” book.
Unfortunately, that “can’t put it down” feeling doesn’t always fit into my busy daily schedule. So lately, I’ve been using Barnes & Noble’s newly-launched B&N Audiobooks platform to listen to books while working, doing chores, or running errands.
Users can listen anywhere by downloading the B&N NOOK App or via BN.com and instantly have access to more than 300,000 new releases, bestsellers, and more. Subscribers get their first audiobook for free (yes, free!), and after that, users pay $14.99 per month and receive one monthly credit to redeem for your next listen (1 credit = 1 book). And if a subscription isn’t for you, users can buy books a la carte at any time and get access to daily savings on thousands of audiobooks.
Read on for a roundup of books to read or listen to before you watch them on the big or small screen!

One of Barnes & Noble's top-selling audiobooks, Where the Crawdads Sing was an instant bestseller when it debuted back in 2018. The story follows "barefoot and wild 'Marsh Girl'" Kya Clark as she becomes the suspect in the murder of a popular young man named Chase Andrews. The highly anticipated movie stars Daisy Edgar-Jones and even features an original song, "Carolina" by Taylor Swift.

A gripping novel about the rise of an iconic 1970s rock group and their beautiful lead singer, the story ultimately reveals the mystery behind the band's infamous breakup. The 13-episode limited series, which started filming in September 2021, stars Riley Keough as Daisy and is being produced by Reese Witherspoon's company, Hello Sunshine.

By the same author of beloved YA book series To All the Boys I've Loved Before—which was recently turned into three Netflix movies—this book tells the story of 16-year-old Isabel “Belly” Conklin as she spends a summer in a fictional beach town and falls into a love triangle with her two childhood best friends, Conrad and Jeremiah. Listen to this cute beach read before the feel-good show comes out this week!

Ani FaNelli seemingly has it all after reinventing herself to cover up her past trauma. But then her former life comes roaring back in an unexpected way—and the story takes a turn you'll never see coming.

A motion picture sequel to 2017's Murder on the Orient Express, this story follows a group of people on a luxury cruise along the Nile who witness the murder of a stylish young woman.

Get ready for season 3 of Bridgerton (hopefully coming to Netflix as soon as early 2023!) by listening to the love story of Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington. Though this tale is the fourth title in the Bridgerton book series, the TV series is skipping ahead to focus on this fan-favorite couple and their steamy path to the altar.

In Pieces of Her, a woman uncovers secrets of her mother's dark past after a violent attack occurs in their small town. I highly recommend listening to this top-selling audiobook before tuning in to the limited series, now available on Netflix.
