The Woman in Me

By: Britney Spears
Narrated by: Michelle Williams
Length: 5 hours 31 minutes

“I have a feeling we all don't know as much about Britney Spears as we thought we did, and listening to The Woman in Me reframed her story for me. With a bit of Britney to start, the narration is handed to Michelle Williams who gives grounding, a bit of sass, and a balance of the strong and gentle woman Britney seems to be. The story is intense... Read more

The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires

By: Grady Hendrix
Narrated by: Bahni Turpin
Length: 13 hours 48 minutes

“I don’t know about everyone else, but I, for one, am really excited that vampires are making a comeback. I think they’re such a fun trope in pretty much every genre, and this was no exception.
