Tell Me I'm Worthless
By Alison Rumfitt
Narrated by: Nicky Endres
Length: 8 hours 32 minutes
Tell Me I'm Worthless
“The haunted house at the center of the novel is old. It carries a history of violence that has painted its walls both literally and metaphorically with blood. In the contemporary moment of the novel, Alice and Ila are torn—struggling to live their lives while still haunted by the brutally traumatic experience they shared a few years before. In her forward, Rumfitt states the novel is about two things: trauma and fascism. Do not take this warning lightly. It is exacting and precise in its critique of contemporary anti-trans discourse—of rhetoric that is as saturated with hatred and fear as the house at the novel’s center is with blood. TW: Racism, anti-semitism, trans-phobia, sexual assault, self harm, suicide”

Yerba Buena
A Novel
By Nina LaCour
Narrated by: Julia Whelan
Length: 8 hours 1 minute
Yerba Buena
“Printz Award-winning author Nina LaCour’s debut adult novel, Yerba Buena, is absolutely breathtakingly beautiful. It’s the story of two lost women who find each other against all the roadblocks and barriers they’ve each surrounded themselves with. It’s also Nina LaCour at her best, her command of the English language is on full display here-I honestly believe there is nothing she can’t do.”

Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow
A novel
By Gabrielle Zevin
Narrated by: Jennifer Kim & Julian Cihi
Length: 13 hours 51 minutes
If you enjoyed Now Is Not the Time to Panic, then you’ll love Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow.
“I absolutely loved listening to Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow. As a Gen X-er, the reference to old school video games like Donkey Kong, Pac Man and Oregon Trail, brought about nostalgia and kept me engaged, even though I don't consider myself much of a gamer. If you love a character-driven story you will love this novel! While I didn't always like these characters, I absolutely understand them as the author does a beautiful job of showing us how we are each made up of and impacted by our experiences. This story captures the love between friends and reminds us that while we think we know how the world sees us, our truest friends always see us for exactly who we are and they love us anyway!”

We Keep the Dead Close
A Murder at Harvard and a Half Century of Silence
By Becky Cooper
Narrated by: Becky Cooper
Length: 15 hours 46 minutes
We Keep the Dead Close
“As much a journey for the writer as it is for the reader, this book solves a murder but leaves us with many unanswered questions. We Keep the Dead Close challenges us to question our assumptions as well as the paths we use to arrive at those assumptions. Delving into the academic culture of Harvard, the misogyny of the 1960s, and the burgeoning women’s rights movement, the story follows several threads, all of which have a significant impact on the life of Jane Britton, whose story is told with empathy, compassion, and five decades of curiosity.”

The Idiot
By Elif Batuman
Narrated by: Elif Batuman
Length: 13 hours 39 minutes
The Idiot
“Batuman's voice is bitingly original and her protagonist, Selin, brings vitality to the pages through her odd, serious, and slightly sardonic naivete. The honesty of Selin's self-exploration during her first year at Harvard struck a chord with me. Her frank sense of observation as she navigates first love, friendship, and freshman year are a breath of fresh air. I have not read anything quite like The Idiot and I doubt I will again. I loved it.”

In the Dream House
A Memoir
By Carmen Maria Machado
Narrated by: Carmen Maria Machado
Length: 5 hours 28 minutes
In the Dream House
“In the most inventive memoir I've read, Machado uses narrative tropes in a series of fragments and vignettes to break down the ways in which she, herself, was breaking down in an abusive same-sex relationship. A book about 'archival silence,' about inventing a language to tell a story.”

The School for Good Mothers
A Novel
By Jessamine Chan
Narrated by: Catherine Ho
Length: 11 hours 56 minutes
If you enjoyed The Power, then you’ll love The School for Good Mothers.
“This book was absolutely wild. Chan really makes you examine motherhood and how subjective it can be. With her fictional school and its excessive tactics, you wonder how you can judge mothers - is it possible to learn how to be a 'good' mother and what does 'good' even mean. Every moment of this book will stress you out a little (in a good way) and get you thinking.”

Devil House
A Novel
By John Darnielle
Narrated by: John Darnielle
Length: 11 hours 17 minutes
Devil House
“Playing with form, voice, and the reader's expectations of how a novel should operate; Devil House is a thrilling, bracing, and unmissable reading experience. Darnielle's latest novel begins straightforward enough - a true crime writer moves into a house where brutal murders took place to research his next project. With each passing chapter, the story morphs and expands; masterfully carried along by Darnielle's incredible writing and nuanced characters. Come for the satanic murder but stay for the fascinating exploration of what it means to the truth about the past.”
