Length: 12 hours 8 minutes

“I can’t think of a more perfect novel to recommend to book lovers than The Paris Library!

The Unhoneymooners

By: Christina Lauren
Narrated by: Cynthia Farrell
Length: 9 hours 14 minutes

“This is a delightful rom-com story with an enemies-to-lovers plotline and the requisite off-the-wall situation that forces the bickering lead characters into close quarters. With its Maui resort setting, charismatic characters, swoon-worthy romance, and sense of humor, this story pulled me in and took me along for a thoroughly enjoyable escape. Read more

The Bookish Life of Nina Hill

By: Abbi Waxman

Length: 9 hours 3 minutes

“What a joyous, charming, funny and beautiful celebration of books and the people who love them. There is so much detail in both the wonderful, wide-ranging cast of characters and in the setting.

I... Read more

The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek

A Novel
