audiobooks -- is there a way to auto-advance when you get to the end of one?

I typically listen to audiobooks while I'm driving in my car. (Which does NOT have CarPlay, btw.) When audiobooks were forcibly migrated into the Books app I took to re-classifying them in iTunes as "Music" to keep them in the Music app, where I can still use the playlists I have set up and where, when a file finishes, the app will automatically open the next one and keep playing. This is a critical feature for me.


With the impending death of iTunes, I fear that all audiobook management on the Mac will be forced into Books and this workaround will no longer be available.


I see that Books now has a "Collections" feature for audiobooks, which can probably handle the organizational tasks I have used playlists for.


But is there a way to make the app automatically advance from the end of one audiobook to the start of another? Or am I going to have to get used to pulling off the road and stopping in order to manually fidget with the app and make it continue playing?

iPhone XR, iOS 12
