You Made a Fool of Death with Your Beauty

A Novel

By: Akwaeke Emezi
Narrated by: Bahni Turpin
Length: 9 hours 57 minutes

“This book is chock-full of lines that will pack a punch. Several times I would put the book down and just say, wow, out loud to myself. The tension was so masterfully built and whew! The payoff was very very good. Loved this and love that this genre is new territory for Emezi, but they are certainly not showing any novice tendencies. Such a... Read more

Gideon the Ninth

Locked Tomb: Book #1

By: Tamsyn Muir
Narrated by: Moira Quirk
Length: 16 hours 49 minutes

“This is everything I wanted in a book and more. Gideon is likable but flawed, Harrow is horrible and unforgettable, and the prose occasionally turns hauntingly beautiful. The narration helps make a complex world become real and the characters friends you may or may not want to invite over to dinner. It depends on whether your folks are there. Read more

Infinity Alchemist

Infinity Alchemist: Book #1

By: Kacen Callender
Narrated by: Wes Haas
Length: 13 hours 19 minutes

“I adored this novel! Callender's characters are bright their world building feels lived-in, and the heightened YA tropes of life-or-death magic and budding sparks of romance are so well-grounded in each character's circumstance and personality and trauma or baggage. I listened to Wes Haas's audiobook narration and the humor and emotion were so... Read more

Detransition, Baby

A Novel

By: Torrey Peters
Narrated by: Renata Friedman
Length: 12 hours 31 minutes

“This book led to my favorite book club conversation to date. The characters are messy and mostly unlikeable and Peters unflinchingly dives straight into topics in trans identity often considered taboo, without worrying about placating a cisgender audience. A quietly chaotic and fascinating character study. Read more
