A Memoir

By Billy Porter
Narrated by: Billy Porter
Length: 12 hours 22 minutes

“This is not a coming-out story. It’s not a down-low story either. I never could have passed for straight, even if I’d wanted to, and so I never had the dubious luxury of living a lie.” From the incomparable Emmy, Grammy, and Tony Award winner, a powerful and revealing autobiography about race, sexuality, art, and healing It’s easy to be...

Mad Honey

A Novel

By Jodi Picoult & Jennifer Finney Boylan
Narrated by: Carrie Coon, Key Taw, Jodi Picoult & Jennifer Finney Boylan
Length: 15 hours 12 minutes

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.”

Happy-Go-Lucky

By David Sedaris
Narrated by: David Sedaris
Length: 7 hours 30 minutes

Happy-Go-Lucky

“Unsurprisingly, Sedaris delivers a thoughtful, funny, somber, and occasionally gross examination of the world today. This includes COVID-19, MeToo, BLM, the transition from Trump to Biden, and the death of his father who was, in his words, a 'character.' I couldn't stand to live in a world without David Sedaris. And him reading his own work is just.... *chef's kiss* perfect.”

Delilah Green Doesn't Care

By Ashley Herring Blake
Narrated by: Kristen DiMercurio
Length: 11 hours 41 minutes

If you enjoyed One Last Stop, then you’ll love Delilah Green Doesn't Care.

“Like binging your favorite Gilmore Girls arc, this tender-hearted romance is full of small town charm and a cast of characters you won't want to leave. Delilah Green is a toughened New York photographer who just wants financial stability, and someone in her bed at night. Now, if only she could convince her lonely heart of that. Claire Sutherland owns the bookstore in the same small, Oregon town she grew up in, the same small town she's raising her daughter in. She just wants to convince her best friend that the man she's marrying next month is a literal s*** boot. And also if her daughter's father could grow up and communicate, that would be great. And maybe she wants to get laid. When said best friend, Astrid hires her estranged sister, Delilah Green to photograph her wedding, bringing her back to the small town she swore she'd never return to, Delilah and Claire are thrown into a whirlwind of misunderstandings, camping trips, wine nights, photography lessons, society parties, and horrendously-decorated inns. Sweet, a little steamy, and full of lonely people finding that home is a group of people, not a location."”

Length: 2 hours 47 minutes

Stuntboy, in the Meantime

“Have you ever wanted someone to take the fall for you, like fall down the stairs for you so you don’t get hurt? Well you’re in luck! Stuntboy will do exactly that for you, but SHH don’t tell anyone he’s actually DUN DUN DUN Portico Reeves. If I could listen to the audiobook for the first time again I would. With a wide array of narrators and the absolute best supporting background sounds it is a whole production and I would expect nothing but the best from Jason Reynolds and the amazing illustrator Raul the Third. This book is about Portico a boy with *blaring sounds ensues* the FRETS and parents on the verge of a divorce and how children deal with that. UGH you need this book!”
