Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow
A novel
By Gabrielle Zevin
Narrated by: Jennifer Kim & Julian Cihi
Length: 13 hours 51 minutes
Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow
“Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow is an epic, multi-decade friendship and coming of age story with flawed but genuine characters that you will be drawn to and connect with...You do NOT need to be a video game person to enjoy this. Unless you live under a literal rock, you will get a large majority of the references, and there are some really interesting philosophical contemplations about how life experiences and video games design reflect one another. I actually enjoyed how it tracked with the evolution of gaming, starting in the 1980’s through modern day alongside a million other lovely pop culture references. Lastly, it has the perfect amount of Easter eggs sprinkled in to help you understand the cover and the title. Many content warnings, so please do your research.”

I Have Some Questions for You
A Novel
By Rebecca Makkai
Narrated by: Julia Whelan & JD Jackson
Length: 14 hours 3 minutes
If you enjoyed Valentine, then you’ll love I Have Some Questions for You.
“Fresh, current and performed brilliantly by Julia Whelan and JD Jackson! I loved the way the story unfolded, the voice of the unassuming protagonist, and the way she used the "The one where...." and listed a few similar sad, remarkable events to show how repetitively these things happen. Don't sleep on this one! ”

Lessons in Chemistry
A Novel
By Bonnie Garmus
Narrated by: Miranda Raison, Bonnie Garmus & Pandora Sykes
Length: 11 hours 55 minutes
If you enjoyed When Women Were Dragons, then you’ll love Lessons in Chemistry.
“Lessons in Chemistry is a nearly-subversive feminist story wrapped in a delightful package of unlikely love, heart-rending loss, and how to make one’s way through life as a round peg that doesn’t even try to fit in to a square hole. This novel had me thinking hard about the women of my mother’s 1950s and 60s generation, women who often were confined to the role of 'homemaker' – or if they did work, were the bookkeepers instead of the mathematicians, the secretaries instead of the lawyers. How much brain power was kept on the back burner until feminists started speaking up and demanding equality? How much brain power is still being wasted? Lessons in Chemistry left me thinking about how far we have come, and how far we still have to go.”

I'm Glad My Mom Died
By Jennette McCurdy
Narrated by: Jennette McCurdy
Length: 6 hours 25 minutes
I'm Glad My Mom Died
“Ah, the book that everyone is talking about. I had to try it. As a person who had a troublesome relationship with my own mother (not as troubling at Jeanette's), I took comfort in Jeanette's journey into learning to heal and make peace with mother's actions. It is a hard book to listen to, but Jeanette's honest and head-on approach made me keep listening. As I've told others, don't let the title put you off. Being around my own mother and dealing with her was mental and physically exhausting. There are days I am glad my mom died, but I still love her. And like Jeanette, I've learned that not all mothers deserve the pedestal they've been placed on.”

Daisy Jones & The Six (TV Tie-in Edition)
A Novel
By Taylor Jenkins Reid
Narrated by: Jennifer Beals, Benjamin Bratt, Judy Greer & Pablo Schreiber
Length: 9 hours 3 minutes
Daisy Jones & The Six (TV Tie-in Edition)
“Oh man, what a ride! I guess I’m the right demographic for this book: I love rock and I grew up in the ’70s, so I wanted to like it...instead, I loved it! Yes, it’s sex, drugs, and rock ’n’ roll, but it’s also got wonderfully complex characters that I cared about even if I didn’t like how they acted. It’s a peek into the formation of a band, how the music is made, the struggles of addiction and clashing personalities, and, ultimately, love. The story is compiled of pieces of interviews with the band and those connected to them—a very effective technique that made the novel’s pages turn even faster. Taylor Jenkins Reid’s Daisy Jones & the Six is one of my favorite books of 2019 so far!”

Remarkably Bright Creatures
A Novel
By Shelby Van Pelt
Narrated by: Marin Ireland & Michael Urie
Length: 11 hours 16 minutes
If you enjoyed Love & Saffron, then you’ll love Remarkably Bright Creatures.
“If you need a nice book, one that is generally feel-good but with a little depth and a very interesting perspective then this book is for you! It is an astonishing debut that finds three unlikely personalities - a lonely widow, a lost young man, and an aging octopus - in the same small town north of Seattle. Each one of them has had sadness in their lives but they've survived and through these new unlikely friendships will find what is missing from their lives. The audiobook is particularly great as the amazingly snarky Michael Urie voices Marcellus the Octopus bringing some great humorous moments and Marin Ireland elicits great humanity in both Tova and Cameron. It is not to be missed!”

The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet
Wayfarers: Book #1
By Becky Chambers
Narrated by: Rachel Dulude
Length: 14 hours 23 minutes
The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet
“This gripping, diverse novel, set well after Earth's residents have scattered to Mars, other planets, and itinerant spacecraft, is as scientifically and sociopolitically plausible as any science fiction I've ever read or listened to. The characters, from a variety of alien species along with AI, have wide-ranging journeys that speak to our current reality and to issues of immigration, xenophobia, colonization, economic class, technological advancement, environmentalism, and more. The members of one species are all born female and becomes male later on, of another all use "they" pronouns, and of another are free with their touch and affection and find amusement in human hangups about touch. In the midst of all this complex representation emerges a story that stands alone as cohesive, meaningful, and powerful.”

“Pineapple Street by Jenny Jackson is a sometimes hilarious look at the class structure of New York’s old money. Told through the eyes of three characters, we discover what it’s like to be raised in privilege and what it’s like to marry into it. If you like Curtis Sittenfeld or J.

Gideon the Ninth
Locked Tomb: Book #1
By Tamsyn Muir
Narrated by: Moira Quirk
Length: 16 hours 49 minutes
Gideon the Ninth
“Gideon the Ninth is an epic science fantasy that if delivered into the hands of enough people will set the world on fire as it hasn’t been since The Hunger Games. Brilliance doesn’t come close to explaining Tamsyn Muir’s narrative where no single word is wasted or her engineering of a world with characters that end up belonging to you wholeheartedly even long after the last page. With fierce independence and hysterical wit, and laced with moments of pure heartbreaking tenderness and loyalty, Gideon and Harrow’s relationship simultaneously digs under your skin and tugs at your heartstrings. I cannot recommend this book highly enough.”

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
“This was a very entertaining read. Reid always does a great job getting you to immediately invest in the characters. This book was a fun ride through the golden era of Hollywood. I could've listened to another hour. The narration alternates between readers, and kept the book feeling fresh and new the whole way through.”

Crying in H Mart
A Memoir
By Michelle Zauner
Narrated by: Michelle Zauner
Length: 7 hours 22 minutes
If you enjoyed I'm Glad My Mom Died, then you’ll love Crying in H Mart.
“In Crying in H Mart Michelle Zauner goes into detail about her mothers cancer, the nights she spent next to her bed, the secrets she learned about her later on, the small yet wonderful moments she remembers with clarity, and of course the raw emotion that goes with losing a mother. I had gotten over halfway through when I fell asleep listening to it one night, accidentally “finishing” it. I ended up shelving it for later, listened to about 10 more audiobooks, before finally picking it up again. I ADORED IT. I love listening to audiobooks while cooking, and can promise a few tears slipped into my food. I normally watch or read something physically while eating, and found myself never wanting to turn it off. Michelle Zauner does a phenomenal job at reading her book, her voice rhythmic yet steady. ”

The Dutch House
A Novel
By Ann Patchett
Narrated by: Tom Hanks
Length: 9 hours 52 minutes
The Dutch House
“Meeting the Conroy family and stepping into their elaborate Dutch house—part museum, part home, with all its secrets and charm, comfort and sadness—enthralled me as the mystery unfolded like a gentle call to arms. From poverty to wealth and from wealth to poverty, we see through Danny’s eyes the struggle to hold the family together against grief, greed, and the heartbreak of losing all that once bound them. Patchett paints a masterpiece here; there’s no looking away. It lingers in your imagination long after the story has been told.”

How High We Go in the Dark
“Finally, a novel I will confidently recommend to fans of Station Eleven! How High We Go in the Dark follows interconnected characters through time and space as humanity returns from the brink of extinction when an ancient virus is unleashed. Mind bending and heartrending, full of hope and humanity, you'll want to start this one from the beginning as soon as you finish it.

The Golden Spoon
A Novel
By Jessa Maxwell
Narrated by: Andrea Emmes, Andy Garcia-Ruse, Graham Halstead, Kitty Hendrix, Kamran Khan, Jackie Sanders, André Santana & Emily Tremaine
Length: 8 hours 36 minutes
The Golden Spoon
“A surprising and delightful combination of Agatha Christie and The Great British Baking Show, The Golden Spoon will sweep you off your feet and into a world of cakes, pies and gruesome murders! When six amateur bakers show up at Grafton Manor to compete on Bake Week, the long running television baking show, the well planned competition quickly falls apart, with sabotage and eventually murder making their way onto the menu. The Martha Stewart-esque judge and the handsome but calculating cohost make for a fake baking show you wish you could actually watch. I did not expect it to be such a page turner, but both the pacing and the twisting plot kept me riveted from beginning to end. A great book for mystery lovers and people who spend too much time watching Paul Hollywood crush dreams.”

The House in the Cerulean Sea
By TJ Klune
Narrated by: Daniel Henning
Length: 12 hours 12 minutes
The House in the Cerulean Sea
“I adore this book. The story begins in a morose greyscale, setting you up with the story of a hard-working but not terribly inspired man, Linus Baker. Linus works for the equivalent of Magic CPS, evaluating the homes that care for magically gifted children. He is pulled out of his drab and grey life in the city when he is assigned to address a new sort of home, by the sea. As soon as Linus arrives in the house by the sea, via train (a common vehicle for normal to magical transportation, as we all know), Linus' world explodes in color, chaos, and children. The traumatized children in the house by the sea open up Linus' eyes and heart, and give him the inspiration to help them in return. Excellent for fans of Pratchett and Gaiman, whimsy and magic, sarcasm and a healthy dose of pragmatism.”

Length: 11 hours 33 minutes
The Vanishing Half
“Brit Bennett’s second novel broke my heart. She doesn’t shy away from the sadness inherent in each character’s life, yet she left me feeling better for having met all of them. I read The Vanishing Half with a sense of hope, despite my dread that terrible things might befall the characters. Desiree and Stella’s story unfolds with a deft delicateness in a book that is astonishingly accomplished and sweeping, and yet so very intimate.”

By Jen Beagin
Narrated by: Rebecca Lowman, Carlotta Brentan, Stephen Graybill, Joy Osmanski & Matt Pittenger
Length: 11 hours 15 minutes
Big Swiss
“Big Swiss, the new novel by Jen Beagin, is an R-rated, raunchy, funny, and ultimately very moving psychological novel about a transcriptionist to a sex therapist who knows all the dirty secrets of everyone in town, and she uses this knowledge to seduce the wonderful Big Swiss, a woman who's never experienced good sex. It is funny and sometimes sweet, filled with bees, dogs, psychotic ex-lovers, twists and turns, and delightfully naughty characters. I was charmed by this racy book and I wish it had been twice as long. The audiobook, featuring multiple actors, is a real treasure!”

Klara and the Sun
A Novel
By Kazuo Ishiguro
Narrated by: Sura Siu
Length: 10 hours 16 minutes
Klara and the Sun
“Klara and the Sun is a parable, a warning, a neatly-crafted story that fits into an Artificial Friend-sized box, which—make no mistake—is not to say that it’s ordinary. Ishiguro explores the ethics of creating artificial intelligence that’s indistinguishable from humans, at least ideally. But Klara and her owner, Josie, are kindred spirits with vastly different fates. Is love still love when its object is replaceable, nay, disposable? Are some people more valuable than others; can grief ever be inappropriate? This seamless story examines our increasingly automated world, our obsession with usability, and the things that get left behind.”

Circe
By Madeline Miller
Narrated by: Perdita Weeks
Length: 12 hours 8 minutes
Circe
“Unlike most of my peers, I did not learn about mythology in school. Circe intimidated me for far too long before I finally took the plunge to read it. How glad I am that I faced my fear! Even to my untrained mind, the chronicles of Circe were easy to follow, and with Perdita Weeks’ sublime narration, soon I was engrossed. Ostracized and outcast, Circe—the goddess, the witch—exhibits unbelievable strength and passion in her many years, and Madeline Miller has molded her into the feminist icon of my dreams. After spending so much time with her, I was emotional to say goodbye. This one should not be missed!”

40 Songs, One Story
By Bono
Narrated by: Bono
Length: 20 hours 24 minutes
Surrender
“Perhaps this was a case of the right book at the right time, but few memoirs have moved me the way Bono's did. Told mostly chronologically, though 40 of U2's songs, Bono reflects on his life, his activism, his music, and his faith in ways that I absolutely connected to. It was a complete listening experience - with music and sound effects! - and I found myself completely engrossed as I listened to Bono tell me the tale of his life.

Horse
A Novel
By Geraldine Brooks
Narrated by: James Fouhey, Lisa Flanagan, Graham Halstead, Katherine Littrell & Michael Obiora
Length: 14 hours 5 minutes
Horse
“This book centers on Lexington, often considered the greatest horse in history. But this book is much more than the story of a horse. Brooks writes of slavery, the Civil War, academia, art and publishing, love and loyalty, and racism in history and today. I loved the bond between Jarret, an enslaved boy, and Lexington. I will be thinking of this book for quite some time.”

Talking to Strangers
What We Should Know about the People We Don't Know
By Malcolm Gladwell
Narrated by: Malcolm Gladwell
Length: 8 hours 57 minutes
Talking to Strangers
“This is an audio experience. Malcolm Gladwell talks about it a bit in the beginning. He chose to use audio recordings of interviews, etc., wherever available instead of just reading the quotes himself. There’s music spattered throughout. It’s kind of a book/podcast. It is not just a direct reading of the text. Also, Malcolm Gladwell has a soothing voice but covers some unsettling topics, so you can definitely listen to this one and not fall asleep. I won’t say I enjoyed this book, because how can you enjoy something that talks about all the unpleasant side effects of misinterpreting interactions with strangers? But it was incredibly interesting. We hear about what went wrong with Amanda Knox, the Brock Turner trial, and Sandra Bland, amidst many other examples. I love books like this that examine psychology through real life things. I definitely feel like I learned something from Talking to Strangers, and for me, that’s really the best way to judge a nonfiction title.”

Someone Else's Shoes
A Novel
By Jojo Moyes
Narrated by: Daisy Ridley
Length: 12 hours 21 minutes
Someone Else's Shoes
“In Someone Else's Shoes, Jojo Moyes has a knack for getting you to love a character on one page and then hate them on the next, and she does so with humor and humanity. The two main characters, Nisha and Sam, are prime examples of this. The story is told from a third person perspective which helped me understand what was going on in each character's head without having to keep track of which "I" was speaking in that chapter. At the core of it, this book is about the power and importance of female friendship and the various ways it supports women at various points in their lives. The humor, adventure, and characters made me want to keep listening until the end - highly recommend! ”

“A game-changer. People tote time management as a way to accomplish everything, but that's impossible—time is a limited resource. The whole way we think about time is wrong. So how can we approach our relationship to time in a way that doesn't overwhelm? This book is a powerhouse. A must-read, especially for folks with anxiety, an intimate relationship with social media, or big ambitions. Fantastic on audio!”

“I loved this book so much. The intersection of the various stories surrounding a profound awareness of the importance of books was perfect. I also appreciated the weaving of the classic tale intertwined all throughout the book. Each character's story could have been a book all by themselves, but having them all together was brilliant. This is a book that I didn't know I needed, but was the perfect book for the time I listened to it.”

Length: 14 hours 13 minutes
Firekeeper's Daughter
“Daunis Fontaine, a bi-racial Ojibwe-Italian-American girl has just graduated high school and has deferred enrollment at the University of Michigan to attend the local state school. She plans to spend more time with her best friend Lily, her ailing Grandmother, and her mom who was recently rocked by the sudden death of her brother, Daunis’ uncle. But then tragedy strikes, and Daunis is the eyewitness. And she is thrown headfirst into an FBI investigation of meth addiction and distribution within the reservation her family lives on and the greater Upper Peninsula area. A nuanced and compassionate look at addiction and the justice system and the risks one girl takes to help her friends, her community, and herself. The truth is a tangled web that it seems only Daunis is willing to carefully pick apart to not only expose the criminals but heal the victims as well. A little bit of romance, a little bit thriller, a whole bunch of hockey, STEM nerds, Firekeeper’s Daughter was engaging and gripping. PS I desperately need an Auntie spin-off.”

The Lincoln Highway
A Novel
By Amor Towles
Narrated by: Edoardo Ballerini, Marin Ireland & Dion Graham
Length: 16 hours 38 minutes
The Lincoln Highway
“Like so many other Amor Towles fans, I’ve been impatiently awaiting his next novel, so I delved right in and didn’t totally emerge until a few days later! As always with his work, it’s immersively readable and his word crafting is such a pleasure. What’s happening in the characters’ lives is chaotic and unsettled, but Towles’ writing is as crisp and precise as ever. I was immediately impressed with how distinctive and age/time-appropriate each of the characters’ voices is--right from the start. Most of the characters are young people, kids really, and their choices and actions are life-altering and often heartbreaking. But there’s lots of humor and amusement as well in following their physical, emotional, and moral journeys. A delightful and satisfying read. ”

Mad Honey
A Novel
By Jodi Picoult & Jennifer Finney Boylan
Narrated by: Carrie Coon, Key Taw, Jodi Picoult & Jennifer Finney Boylan
Length: 15 hours 12 minutes
Mad Honey
“This is an incredibly powerful story that I think everyone should read. Told from the perspective of two different characters, who despite being at different stages in their lives, are trying to figure out who they are. It examines the traumas that we experience in life, how we process those (or don't), and how they shape us. It looks at who we know ourselves to be, how we honor that (or don't), and the strength it takes to truly be yourself. The people that read the two different narrators are perfectly cast, and really add to the impact and experience of the story for the listener. I don't think that it is possible to read this book and not come away changed in the best ways. I believe that if everyone read this, the world would be a much more empathetic place.”

“This is a fantasy novel that I think readers of all genres will enjoy. It is rare that a book with this compelling of a premise pulls it off so well - but The Book Eaters did just that, and more! I loved listening to this dark fairy tale. Sunyi Dean filled the book with wonderfully complex characters and impeccable world building. The neurodiverse themes and characters are highlighted by a fascinating discussion at the end of the audiobook between Sunyi Dean and the narrator, Katie Erich (who does such a great job narrating). Now I wish every audiobook ended with a discussion like that! You will not be disappointed by The Book Eaters.”

“You Just Need to Lose Weight”
And 19 Other Myths About Fat People
Myths Made in America
By Aubrey Gordon
Narrated by: Aubrey Gordon
Length: 7 hours 10 minutes
“You Just Need to Lose Weight”
“I am so onboard with everything about this book, and I wish everyone would read it. It has been impeccably researched, yet is presented in an incredibly approachable volume. Fat activist Aubrey Gordon discusses things like the intersections of fatness and desirability politics and why 'fatphobia' isn’t the best word to describe the oppression of fat people, and she encourages readers to include fatness or size in their understanding of intersectionality, alongside things like race, gender, disability status, and countless other factors. While those points were among my main takeaways, I learned so much more and am left hungry for further reading from fat activists, especially those with multiple marginalized identities.”

Notes on an Execution
“If this book is trying to show the senselessness of violence against women and critique the ways that society is fascinated by serial killers, it succeeds....The two narrators Mozhan Marno and Jim Meskimen were both excellent. I often avoid literature via audiobook and veer more towards romance for ease of listening. But the writing was so strikingly good and the narrators so excellent that I was really drawn into the audio. All in all, I highly recommend this complex, heavy, and fascinating study of the paths our lives take and the unexpected ways that they veer and intersect.”

Length: 18 hours 54 minutes
If you enjoyed Children of Blood and Bone, then you’ll love Legendborn.
“If you’ve been thinking about trying audiobooks, I recommend LEGENDBORN by Tracy Deonn as a great starting point! The reader, Joniece Abbott-Pratt, completely transported me to the Southern Gothic world of a secret society on the campus of UNC-Chapel Hill (down to the hot sauce on hash browns). With a complex magic system intricately tied to ancestry and world history, Arthurian legend, demon battles, and just enough romance, this was one of those books that I thought about when I couldn’t have it playing in my headphones! Deonn is a master, bringing Brianna, the main character, to name and disrupt white male supremacy while working through the grief of her own story and that of her mothers before her. I also loved the queer representation in secondary characters, including a squire with they/them pronouns. I can't wait for the sequel and to follow Deonn's career!”

Why Fish Don't Exist
A Story of Loss, Love, and the Hidden Order of Life
By Lulu Miller
Narrated by: Lulu Miller
Length: 4 hours 55 minutes
Why Fish Don't Exist
“Just... wow. Never have I read anything like this. It's remarkable. To say it's part memoir and part biography of David Starr Jordan, the famous taxonomist (don't worry, I didn't know who he was either), on some level is true, but it doesn't even begin to encompass everything this book is. In just over 200 pages, Miller tackles existential philosophy, the depths of the cosmos, racism, queerness, human hatred and human resilience, and much, much more. At its heart, this book is an examination of the friction between humans and chaos, between man and nature. I'd hate to say anything more, because, like David Starr Jordan, it's all about the discoveries. I will say, though, that by the end you will 100% believe that fish do not exist and you will be so, so happy to know it. It'll be the best news you've ever heard. Some books you just love and some books you cherish, and WHY FISH DON'T EXIST is one to be cherished.”

These books are bonkers fun and I loved every wild and confusing and sweet and funny moment of Nona, and am eagerly awaiting Alecto!

The Writing Retreat
“This story takes ‘never meet your heroes’ to a whole new level. I loved the use of tension in the book, and how the author played with supernatural elements while still keeping the story grounded in reality. Twisty, dark, and even fun!”
Ann Branson, Beach Books
