Witchcraft for Wayward Girls

By: Grady Hendrix

Length: 16 hours 18 minutes

“This story takes place in the south during the 1970s and it is centered around un-wed pregnant teenagers that are sent off to a "home" to give birth. The characters were complex, dynamic and morally grey. The plot was quick paced with plenty of looming tension and dread. The BEST part of this book though was its strong feminist message. Also, a...

All the Water in the World

A Novel

By: Eiren Caffall
Narrated by: Eunice Wong

“This is not a happy book, but it is overflowing with as much hope as there is water in this world. I think it is also an essential book to ignite the spark needed to avoid the climate catastrophe it describes; an educational book for any budding meteorologists, ecologists, activists, and museum enthusiasts. All the Water in the World arrived... Read more

The Stolen Queen

“Great interplay between past present. Fascinating Egyptology as foundation for empowerment, a passion for the past and the question of recovering from the past.

Book and Dagger

How Scholars and Librarians Became the Unlikely Spies of World War II

By: Elyse Graham
Narrated by: Saskia Maarleveld
Length: 10 hours 54 minutes

“Elyse Graham looks less to well-documented World War II spy-craft exploits than to the context that they sprang from—a country without an intelligence service; libraries of information, historic and fictional; and a world thrust back into war. Introducing indelible characters and events both ridiculous and harrowing, Graham deftly and... Read more

The Hymn to Dionysus

Length: 16 hours 7 minutes

“With a lot of liberties, Pulley re-imagines the myth of Dionysus through the eyes of Phaidros, a Theban knight plagued with PTSD after fighting in the Trojan War. The detailed world-building, the authentic depiction of Phaidros' sentiments (of loneliness, of fear of hurting someone close to him) added to the quick humour of Pulley's writing... Read more
