I'm sorry for not mentioning a book on first comment. I really mostly read books on sewing and other hobbies. I'm a follower.
I really like the book "A Discovery of Witches", it has a surprisingly large amount of history packed into it. "The Book Thief" is also a great one
I love listening to Pride and Prejudice (the Lindsay Duncan version) and have just finished listening to 'Death Comes to Pemberley' by P.D. James and really enjoyed it!
Shanghai Girls, and Cutting for Stone are both excellent. I'd recommend them highly!

I frequently listen to the Harry Potter series while I'm sewing. But as far as other favorite books I've read lately there's "1984," "The Great Gatsby," "The Hobbit," "Unwind," "The Hunger Games" series, "The Night Circus." There's a small and varied list.

A couple of my favorite audiobooks are Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer (about the 1996 Mount Everest disaster) and American on Purpose by Craig Ferguson (autobiography). Thanks for the wonderful giveaway chance!!
I am a happy follower of your blog.
I'm a fan of urban fantasy which is probably not your style since you said no Twilight. So I would suggest Gone with the Wind. Sounds corny, but I really enjoyed listening to it on tape.
I'm a follower!
I loved "The Time Traveler's Wife." I think I would constantly make mistakes if I tried to listen and sew at the same time! :-)
Already following, and loving it!
I'm a big fan of Barbara Kingsolver, she has a lovely way with words. Thanks for the give away!
I definitely resort to Harry Potter. Something so fun, innocent, and magical about it.
Fawn
I can't think of any specific book,but anything crime fighting, mystery book works for me!

The best book I have read this year is The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey. If it isn't on your reader it should be! I loved it!

It is a long one but 1Q84 is pretty good. It takes a little bit of time to get into, but once you are in you don't want to stop listening.

My favorite book is The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett. I would guess that it would be available as an audio book.
I love Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.
I listen to lots of audiobooks. I thought Shantaram was great, so well read too.
Fave bok to re read-- Kundera's The Unbearable Lightness of Being. Also anything by Alice Munro (Canadian) or Willa Cather. And then there's the Millenium series......

Thanks for the giveaway! I just read "The Help" and really enjoyed it.
My favorite author of all time is Nicholas Sparks but another really good one is Marie Bostwick. She wrote a series based in a quilt shop that started with A Single Thread. Very good! I met her at a quilt show and she is so very kind!!! Sort of mystery sort of not. good books though.

One Hundred Year of Solitude.

I listen to a lot of audiobooks while sewing! I love the Harry Potter series, as someone else mentioned. Sometimes I stick to easy chick lit that doesn't take too much concentration away from sewing. LOVE your swoon quilt and I've always wanted to learn to make pierogies!
I love the Jack Reacher series by Lee Child!
I follow via GFC & Google Reader!
I loved "In a Sunburned Country" by Bill Bryson. Don't know if it's on audio or not. I have seen some of Malcolm Gladwell's books on audio -- I read them and found them interesting and thought-provoking.
I follow your blog.
Well, you might not like my tastes...so instead I will mention that the latest Maeve Binchy novel, A Week in Winter, got a really good review in the paper this weekend.

Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn was a really good book! I liked it so much I went and found all of her previous books and got on the library wait list for them!
My favorite audio books are the "Outlander" series by Diana Gabaldon. It's an excellent historical fiction series, she does a lot of research for her books and it shows. I read them myself as well but it was fun listening to someone else read them to me, too.
I love all books by Matt Ruff. Thanks!
Gorgeous fabrics!
I loved The Time Traveler's Wife.
Thanks for the great giveaway!
This time of year especially...check out Dickens, "A Christmas Carol" read by Patrick Stewart. It is amazing.
I have always loved the Anne of Green Gables series of books. I think Anne and I would have been great friends if she had been a real person.
I recently finished
The Forgotten Garden....I can't remember who by. but it was wonderful!
Otherwise, anything by Nora Roberts.
I just read a book of Marie Bostwick and really fully enjoyed it. Have already given the book to a friend for her to read. The title was : die Fäden des Schicksals.I don't know the english title though!

Two recent favorites are The Help and; if you enjoy history, Killing Lincoln.
I'm already a happy follower...thanks for the sweet giveaway!
I like Lee Child's series on Jack Reacher. They are mysteries (without a lot of graphic sex). If you decide to read one, I'd suggest starting at the beginning because while each one could stand alone, if you get hooked you'd want all of the background. Thanks for the chance to win!
I love these fabrics in the wintery colors. Thank you for the giveaway. I recommend listening to "Yoga for People Who Can't Be Bothered to Do It" by Geoff Dyer.

The Help was excellent as an audiobook. Also just finished State of Wonder by Ann Patchett and really enjoyed it!

The "Outlander" series by Diana Gabaldon is fabulous - I have just bought her latest book to read. Thanks for the chance to win!
The Hobbit (and the rest of the LOTR series) are lovely audiobooks. I really enjoyed listening to them.
I loved the Song of Fire and Ice series. They were riveting.

My favorite book is Jane Eyre. Love it! This Amy Butler fabric is gorgeous!
I am already a faithful follower! Thanks for an awesome giveaway!
The last book I read was by a Korean writer, the book was called "please look after Mother" but I think it might be "please look after Mom" in the US. A very emotional and haunting story about family relationships, guilt, duty and unlike anything I have read before. A great book but not one to read if you are feeling a bit down.
I really enjoyed "the likeness" by Tana French. Maybe you would too?
Thanks for the giveaway.
And I follow you on google
Oooh I think any and all John Irving books would be great to listen to; Hotel New Hampshire is one of the best books EVER!
Of course I am follower x
If you like fantasy, you should try the Wheel of Time. There are 14 books in the series, so they will keep you busy for a LOOONG time. Plus, the audiobook readers are really good.
I love The English Patient by Michael Ondaatje and all te other books he has written too, really moving work, I'm sure it would be great as an audio book in fact I might just take a look!

I love the mystery series by Louise Penny, beginning with Still Life. The books are beautifully written and are about so much more than a murder.
Another compelling book is "The Impeachment of President Lincoln". I heartily recommend it.

I'd recommend any book by Penny Vincenzi. She follows a family, or group of people during an event (or over a couple of generations) and you get really into them. I always hate it when the books end as I feel like I've gotten to know the characters.
I would love to listen to the series "The Girl With A Dragon Tattoo" by Stieg Larsson's.
I follow your blog via Google Reader - thanks!
don't know any thanks for the chance

I've never tried Audio books and don't read much so no help from me
Someone mentioned The Forgotten Garden...it's by Kate Morton and it is excellent. Liked it so much I got all of her books. I really like that her books are standalone novels so you don't have to read in order! If you like police procedurals...Elly Griffiths, Tana French, Susan Hill, Anne Cleeves each have great murder mystery series going! Thanks for a great giveaway opportunity!
I enjoy your blog & follow on google reader.
I've just listened to "Call the Midwife" great book and great show on PBS!!! Thanks for the giveaway
Hi Di! I've recently gotten into listening to books while sewing too! I just listened to Orange is the New Black which was a freebie from the library. It was entertaining but not earth shattering. One of my favorite books is what is the what by Dave Eggars. Not sure if its in audio format but its a great read!
I've been a follower via Google blogger :-) Thanks for the give away!
Hmmm favorite book, I prefere to sew and listen to music than sew, but I'm a big fan of Barbara Kingsolver. I hear she just came out with a new book. Must get it soon!
I love the fabric you're giving away. Blue is my favorite color. My favorite book is The Poisonwood Bible. Thanks for the chance to win!

I love all of Kate Morton's books!
My boss got us hooked on the Mrs Pollifax series of audio books.
I really ought to listen to books when I sew too, it is a great idea. We love the mysteries by Sue Grafton and Sara Paretsky. Anything by Barbara Kingsolver is lovely and will make you think. I also enjoyed the Time Travellers Wife. I have a stack of books on my table to read, including the latest by J. K. Rawlings, but my reading time gets taken by sewing. Enough now, I really want to win those fabrics, they are beautiful, thank you for the chance.
And of course I follow your lovely blog and as I really love those fabrics, maybe it is my turn to win.
new favorite author is Ann Hood.
The death and life of Charlie St. Cloud was a good read.

Anything by Judith McNaught.
Almsot Heaven is my most loved book... I can read that one over and over
My favorite is a toss-up between Watership Down and The Stand. Either would be a looooooong audiobook, I'm thinking.
My favorite book is anything by P.G. Wodehouse! Or Patrick O'Brian. Or Angela Thirkell. Or Arthur Ransome. Or E.M.Delafield. Or or or or or.. :)
I"m a new follower!
Hmmm... I mostly ready romance novels. I think they might be a poor choice to listen to out loud. lol!
How about Gone With the Wind?
I'm really not sure how to choose ONE favorite book, plus it really depends on what you like... If you like funny, I would suggest The Spellman Files.
I'm already a lurker type follower on Google Reader :)

A recent read that I (surprisingly) liked and couldn't put down - Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption by Laura Hillenbrand. Not my usual genre but it sucked me in.
I'm just listening to a book called Dominion, about what the UK would have been like if we had lost WW2.

The Secret Life of Bees, by Sue Monk Kidd.
Follower.
The Outlander series of books by Diana Gabaldon but only the unabridged ones read by Davina Porter. I have not only read the whole series numerous times, but have them on CD and could listen to them over & over too. They are that good.
I'm addicted to the JD Robb "In Death" series,,,easy to read,,easy to put down,,a serious guilty pleasure. (Not my normal reading material, but now I look for the newest to come out)
I'm a long time follower with bloglovin'.
Our favourite audio books that we listen to as a family are the 'How to train your dragon' series. They are so funny that both the kids and adults enjoy them!
One of my favs is A Homemade Life.
