Off To Be The Wizard, the first of the Magic 2.0 series was fun. Plenty of laugh out loud moments. I've listened to the first four of the series so far. Number 4 wasn't my favorite but I really enjoyed the first 3.
The Skyward series by Brandon Sanderson is good. It's young adult, we've been listening to it with our kids and loving it. The second book in the series, Starsight, is on this sale.

Hi. Everyone who wants can get audiobooks from library and keep them forever: after saving files in your computer remove fire file. Return audiobook and get another. Simple and your tax money has paid for it.
Not to knock what you're doing (I don't care), but let's be honest that your tax money has not paid for you to keep the books, only to listen to them. Overdrive will be shutting down their MP3 download service pretty soon due to this -- only Libby will be left. I'll miss it because I use Listen Player for Android to hear my Overdrive books without having to use their audio player. So far as I know one cannot do that with Libby.

I know its not much but at least with an audible credit you support the author and their content a little bit lol. I really don't know how those library deals work but its probably some kind of publishing house deal where the authors get little to nothing.
never read Sanderson but heard such great things so picked up both Steelheart and Starlight... thanx OP!
His wheel of time books to finish out the series for Robert Jordan were probably the best I've listened to in a long time. I just finished his mistborn series that was really good but I tried his stormlight archive series years ago but couldn't finish it. But that was my first entry into fantasy books and maybe i just wasn't ready for it lol.

Great writer otherwise!
Stormlight is quite good, but it definitely has peaks and valleys. I'm on the back half of listening to book 4 and I have to wait until 2024 for book 5

Yeah, i checked out at the end of oathbringer with 5 hours left. I'll probably circle back to it when book 5 comes out. He had to much story telling with head voice and flash backs that threw me off with that series. I'm much bigger into fantasy after wheel of time, all of Joe Abercrombie, Mistborn and Lord of the rings so I'd probably enjoy it more now. That was my first fantasy series after like 30 scifi/space opera books lol.
I went with TROY by Stephen Fry and the Kevin Hart book I Can't Make This Up: Life Lessons
I also highly recommend the Michael Crichton books if you don't already have them

They pay the author for digital license to the book and then lend that license out, similarly to buying the books and renting them. It would be less than purchasing it outright yourself though.
