The best audiobooks under 9 hours

The best audiobooks under 9 hours

This post was originally published on Audible.com.

Sometimes, the perfect audiobook is one that fills a specific amount of time. For instance, I'm planning a road trip this week, and I know my drive there and back will take exactly nine hours—so if I want to finish the story by the end of the trip, I need to find an audiobook under nine hours. Or maybe you just like shorter listens and find it easier for a book to hold your attention if you don't have to hang on to the same storyline for 15 hours or more. 

Thankfully, there are plenty of short audiobooks that are definitely worth a listen. Looking to hear the best short memoirs, the best short YA books, the best sci-fi short stories, or the best short nonfiction? There's all that and more on this list. Here are some of the best audiobooks under nine hours.
