By: Casey Cep
Narrated by: Hillary Huber
Length: 11 hours 15 minutes

In Cold Blood and To Kill a Mockingbird kept me up reading all night as a teen, and I can now add Furious Hours to the list of couldn’t-put-it-down tomes. I was enthralled, educated, and awestruck by Casey Cep’s well-researched and masterfully written true-crime account of a rural minister, his lawyer, and his killer. Thankfully, Cep discovered...

The Name of the Wind

Kingkiller Chronicle: Book #1

By: Patrick Rothfuss
Narrated by: Nick Podehl
Length: 27 hours 55 minutes

“The Name of the Wind is a very straightforward book which you absolutely should not take at face value just because of its upfront nature. Rothfuss builds a slow burn fantasy narrative meant to keep you warm throughout dark nights of literary pursuits, rather than a showy bonfire that burns through all its material in order to hook you. Kvothe,... Read more
