Under the Tuscan Sun by Frances Moyes would also be really nice before bed. She has a nice southern drawl, and who doesn’t want to hear about the wonderful places, food, and friends she makes as she renovates an Italian villa????

Okay one more because I literrrrrrally cannot be stopped. The Book of Delights by Ross Gay. It is so delightful that you might not actually even want to go to bed. And a soothing voice too!

Thank you so much!! My husband really enjoyed Trevor Noah’s book ages ago! And the other two sound lovely!

I recommend this book a lot! Noah details his childhood growing up mixed-race in South Africa, where interracial relationships were illegal at the time (hence the title). It's an incredible story, and he tells it with humour and heart. He also really challenged my perspective and how I view the world in ways I really appreciate and still think about.

I confess I never actually read it in print. But I don’t think it can get better than the audiobook, narrated by the author.

A book club fav. Trevor comes across just as authentic, witty, and warm on paper as he does out loud.
