The Rabbit Hutch

“The Rabbit Hutch is an inventive and lyrical tale of Midwestern decay, environmental destruction, and toxic masculinity. John Brandon meets Lauren Groff with the occasional experimental aside. An ambitious and assured debut.”

Matt Stowe, Greenlight Bookstore

Maame

“Heather Agyepong‘s narration of an already beautiful novel took it to the highest level. She poured so much emotion and culture into every single word written by Jessica George that I couldn’t stop listening to it. Maddie was absolutely brought to life with this audiobook. ”

Morgan, Pantego Books

Hester

“Loved this so much - and *really* terrific as an audiobook!”

Liz, Whitelam Books

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.”

Allie, Oblong Books

The Candy House

“Edgy, futuristic and insightful, The Candy House is another delicious treat from Jennifer Egan! If not for the sheer skill in writing that we have come to enjoy with her books, it would be hard to imagine such a different type of story coming from the same hands. This will be 2022 highlight and will not disappoint her fans! Adding a note on audio - this is so well done! Makes a great audiobook!”

Laura, Oxford Exchange

Our Missing Hearts

“I really enjoyed this dystopian look at our possible future with a special focus on Asian hate. There's this thing about art; spoken, written, drawn. Humanity needs art. And brave souls, if we're going to keep being human. I listened to this on Libro.Fm and it was so well read by Lucy Liu! Brava! I also enjoyed the author's note at the end.”

Melanie, The Well-Read Moose

The Bandit Queens

“Parini Shroff uses humor to lighten the complex topics in this novel. Because murder, domestic violence and women's rights in India are real and heavy topics for a book. But she creates the right balance and highlights the strength of friendship among women in this part mystery, part historical fiction, and part social commentary.”

Lessons in Chemistry

“Formidable Elizabeth Zott will capture your heart as she, Six-Thirty, Mad and others did me. It’s 1960 and Elizabeth is a woman in a man’s field – she experiences sexism, inequality, and abuse. I found this heartwarming, fun, with a sense of intelligent humor, and full of charm and hope.”

Karin, Bookworm of Edwards

Now Is Not the Time to Panic

“Having myself been a teenager in a small insular southern town that felt a few years behind the times, Kevin Wilson's protagonist Frankie felt familiar. Now is Not the Time to Panic uncovers the mystery of a moral panic that starts small but becomes a world-famous cultural event. Frankie's dad has left, her triplet brothers are a whirlwind, and Frankie wants something (anything) to happen this summer. Making friends with a new kid in town who also has a father issue is life-changing as they recognize themselves in each other: friendless socially awkward creatives who are desperate just to be seen. This is a story with a great big heart that will not disappoint.”

The Ten Thousand Doors of January

“This lovely, magical book is a coming-of-age story that blends the best qualities of the adventure stories of the early 20th century with some thoroughly modern sensibilities. January Scaller is an almost-orphan in the early 1900s, the unlikely ward of a rich collector of antiquities who employs her father to travel the world discovering treasures for his collections. When she discovers that she has the ability to open doors into other worlds, she finds a myriad of other civilizations, some beautiful, some terrifying, where the color of her skin and her gender don't matter the way they do in her own world. But her discovery threatens everything she believes about her life, her family and herself. The Ten Thousand Doors of January features beautiful writing and heart-stopping action. The perfect crossover novel, it will appeal equally to teens and adults alike. And January LaVoy's talented narration makes the story leap from the page. It's an immensely satisfying book!”

The School for Good Mothers

“This novel toggles between infuriating, terrifying, and comedic. An interesting study on what it means to be a woman and a mother. Extremely satisfied with an unexpected ending.”

Kristine, Buttonwood Books and Toys

Nightcrawling

Her astute observations of Oakland and the people Kiara encounters reveal a deep understanding of human nature.

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. ”

Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow

“Growing up in a gaming world can give infinite possibilities and restarts, but can there always be such possibilities in the real world? Can love and friendship last beyond a virtual screen? Find out in this wonderfully written and spoken audiobook! As a person who does not play video games, I found this book very approachable and addictive. I highly recommend!”

Penny, Birchbark Books
