“This is the kind of book that has you taking notes and trying to find ways to recall all the concepts when you'll certainly need them in the future.

A Novel
By Genki Ferguson
Narrated by: Aya Furukawa, Alex Aoki & Hiro Kanagawa
Length: 8 hours 50 minutes
Satellite Love
“Two unreliable narrators, and an incredible exploration of mental illness and the struggles of so many people. Written from multiple points of view, the reader still won't know quite what happened, which is the best way to end this book- left wondering what parts were real.”

Hench
A Novel
By Natalie Zina Walschots
Narrated by: Alex McKenna
Length: 14 hours 14 minutes
Hench
“Super witty, super charged, and super villainous! Anna is a normal temp hench, working for ho-hum villains to make rent. But when she finally steps out from behind her desk, she's severely injured by a superhero. The pain and unpaid time off leads her to start running the numbers on the damage to humans and material objects caused by the so-called good guys. Burning with revenge and hatred, Anna soon captures the attention of the online world and a true villain- Leviathan. Soon Anna is using her gifts with numbers and burning passion to ruin superheroes to use, but when the chance to get more than even against the hero who hurt her appears, it might just be her own fall she's engineering. Absolutely recommending this book, especially on audio. It's narrated by Alex McKenna, who brings the large cast to life. McKenna captures Anna's snark, Leviathan's otherness, and Supercollider's pompous entitlement perfectly! ”

Convenience Store Woman
By Sayaka Murata
Narrated by: Nancy Wu
Length: 3 hours 21 minutes
Convenience Store Woman
“Keiko loves rules. Having worked a part-time job in a Japanese convenience store for 18 years, she loves having a corporate script to recite, sales goals to reach, and a list of tasks to complete. What she doesn't love - or even understand - are the more complicated rules of society at large. She doesn't want a husband, or children, or a real job. What she does want is a satisfactory answer to the endless personal questions that will allow her to be left alone. Convenience Store Woman is a quirky and hilarious look at society and its misfits, and what happens when we try to bend ourselves to the needs of others.”

Circe
“This remarkable journey into mythology brings the ancient gods directly and viscerally into the present. Circe is a perfect mashup of elegant language, glorious storytelling, and exquisitely modern sensibilities. Miller's telling left me awed and moved by Circe and her story, all while wishing I could invite her over for a glass of wine on the porch. How this amazing author so perfectly melds the human and the divine, creating a story both immediate and epic, is dazzling.”
