On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

“My words can't do justice to how beautiful the language is in this book. Listening to the author read it was so raw and engaging. This book was emotionally painful in a lot of parts but just touched me on so many levels. Definitely the best book that I've listened to (and read) so far this year.”

Suzie, Tattered Cover

If you enjoyed She Gets the Girl, then you’ll love I Kissed Shara Wheeler.

“Another audiobook that I could not stop listening to! A fun, light high school romance that should immediately be turned into a movie and will launch the new brat pack. I loved that these characters got to fight against their school and it's outdated beliefs (especially since I saw college graduates do the same thing in real life on tiktok just the other day). It was clever and funny and sweet and worth every second.”

Hide

“I gulped and gasped my way through this book as fast as I could and I still couldn't get it all down fast enough. The Minotaur-ish monster in the maze is terrifying, the violence is all there, the narration for the audiobook is breathtaking, but there’s still so much more to this book. Kiersten White's ghastly adult debut is as much a character study about trauma in the many forms it takes and the debt we owe to the living and the dead alike as it is about who’s going to get ‘voted off the island’ next. Hide delivers on everything it promises and more. I couldn’t breathe until I’d finished.”

Delilah Green Doesn't Care

“So fun and sweet. I loved this enemies to lovers romance about a prickly photographer who returns to her hometown for her estranged stepsister's wedding only to fall for one of the stepsister's best friends. It was light and fresh and entirely sexy and I cannot wait to listen to the sequel!”

Black Leopard, Red Wolf

“Marlon James’ Black Leopard, Red Wolf is a shot across the bow of fantasy literature: bold, fresh, and filled with brutal wonder and endless imagination. James’tale set in a fantastical ancient Africa follows a hunter known only as Tracker as he trails the scent of a lost boy, meeting a shape-shifting leopard along the way. At turns hallucinatory, dreamlike, and nightmarish, Black Leopard, Red Wolf’s world envelops the reader in its stink, grime, sweat, and blood. Never has a magical world felt quite so otherworldly and yet frighteningly tactile at the same time. This is literary fantasy as you’ve never encountered it before and a truly original tale of love, loss, power, and identity.”

Caleb Masters, Bookmarks

Under the Whispering Door

“Full of heart, hope, grief, humor, delicious character development and perfectly steeped tea, Under the Whispering Door is one-of-a kind. I laughed, I cried, I stayed up far too late reading. You don't want to miss this book.”

Miriasha, Phoenix Books

She Who Became the Sun

“Zhu’s tooth-and-nail fight for her destiny merges hero and antihero into a transcendent figure with an incomparably strong will. She Who Became the Sun carves out a bold and bloody new genre of epic fantasy.”

Jessie Prutisto-Chang, Third Place Books

If you enjoyed All Systems Red, then you’ll love Gideon the Ninth.

“Moira Quirk is a genius. The voices she's chosen for all these characters and the absolute performance she puts into every line is remarkable. If there's ever an adaptation of these books and Lanthe doesn't speak as she does in these audiobooks, I will not be able to recognize her. An incredible narrator reading an incredible series. Give it a go! ”

She Gets the Girl

“Rachael Lippincott, co-author of the best selling novel Five Five Apart, wrote this fun YA sapphic rom com with her wife, Alyson Derrick! How great is that?! Alex, often dismissed as a pretty face, has an enviable swagger. While Molly, who struggles with social anxiety, is pretty much swaggerless except for when she's with Alex.

Their reluctant friendship sets the scene for lots of amusing CUTENESS, including but not limited to, an epic roller skating date! Fans of enemies-to-lovers, dual POVs, and practice dating, will love this book.”
