I noticed that many websites offering free audiobooks tend to have clunky search functionality, making it harder to find what you're looking for. To address this, I’ve created a site that aggregates audiobooks from multiple platforms—complete with book reviews and ratings—making it easier to discover and explore new titles.

At the moment, I've included audiobooks from popular sources like Librivox, Project Gutenberg, and Lit2Go.

I'm open to suggestions on additional free audiobook sources I could integrate into the site to expand the collection!

Count of Monte Cristo is in there, highly recommended!

Thank you for that. Downloaded.

@OP: I'm wondering if more than just sorting, whether filtering could be added? I would want to find both highly rated books with high numbers of reviews.

I am going to look into building out a more extensive filtering system where you could combine filters. Trying to decide on a balance of complexity and ease of use.

My personal use I aim to solve is getting accurate lists of the top rated books for a given genre and perhaps before a given year. I've been listening to lots of audio books recently, yet I only have so much time so I am aiming to only listen to the best.
