Make It Scream, Make It Burn
Essays
By Leslie Jamison
Narrated by: Leslie Jamison
Length: 9 hours 3 minutes
Make It Scream, Make It Burn
“Jamison's skills as a journalist and essayist, very much in the tradition of Didion and New Journalism, have earned her much praise, and I can only heap onto the pile. The essay, "Maximum Exposure," about the outsider photographer Annie Appel, is a masterpiece in particular. Layered like an onion, it explores the relationship between photographer and subject, and then between journalist and subject, and becomes a larger exploration of the whether impartiality is ever truly achievable, or even desirable. Jamison writes with the wisdom of someone twice her age and the wonder of someone half her age. She is a truly remarkable talent.”

The Folk of the Air: Book #3
By Holly Black
Narrated by: Caitlin Kelly
Length: 9 hours 40 minutes
The Queen of Nothing
“Stripped of her title and power, Jude has been exiled to the mortal world after yet another betrayal that has left her with a broken heart and no real plan on how to move forward. Then comes Taryn, her twin sister, in need of Jude's help in order to save her life. Against better judgement, Jude agrees to go to Elfhame in Taryn's place only to find that the land she was exiled from is on the verge of war. Thrust into the very center of political machinations that endanger not only herself, but also the person who broke her heart, Jude is soon faced with the difficult challenge of figuring out how to keep those she loves and Elfhame itself from being destroyed. While you certainly won't want the story to end, The Queen of Nothing satisfyingly brings Jude and Cardan's story to a close in a way that will make you want to revisit it again immediately.”

The Water Dancer (Oprah's Book Club)
A Novel
By Ta-Nehisi Coates
Narrated by: Joe Morton
Length: 14 hours 14 minutes
The Water Dancer (Oprah's Book Club)
“Ta-Nehisi Coates understands something big and he understands it better than anyone else right now. The Water Dancer led me on a journey up and down the landscape of American slavery with a narrative that feels like The Book of Exodus meets, well, Ta-Nehisi Coates. Over 400 pages I have cried, I have laughed, I have been educated, and I have been enlightened. Coates writes with an honesty that can only come from a sublime, even spiritual, understanding of the souls of the white man and the black man in America. Written with poignancy and humanity, The Water Dancer left me stunned but clear-headed, like I had just been woken up from a deep, dream-filled sleep.”

Red at the Bone
“How did she manage to create this gorgeous family saga in less than 200 pages? Told through a chorus of five different voices, family members fill in the puzzle of their lives piece by piece and generation by generation. Told out of sequence, we learn how these lives intersected, arrived in Brooklyn, and navigated their way through the racial complexities of the 20th and 21st centuries. We experience how they face timeless issues of family, love, identity, race, and class. The poetic language along with full audio cast makes for a moving and spell-binding listen.”

Length: 18 hours 36 minutes
The Starless Sea
“This book has an ethereal feeling that you get wrapped up in while reading. Nothing quite makes sense but that’s just as it should be. You’re hooked. It is so atmospheric, so meta, so fascinating. I’ve heard many interpretations of this book, and each one makes perfect sense. And it’s all of this with a gay main character and romance and the central theme, the central pillar being a love of and devotion to stories. Of course I was going to love it.”

Olive, Again (Oprah's Book Club)
A Novel
By Elizabeth Strout
Narrated by: Kimberly Farr
Length: 12 hours 14 minutes
Olive, Again (Oprah's Book Club)
“Thank goodness Elizabeth Strout decided to return for another round with one of the most beloved, maddening, confounding, and compelling characters I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Readers will delight in the fact that Olive, while forging new relationships and puzzling over long-existing ones, remains the crazy, complicated family member you just can’tquit. Add in spareyet beautifully rendered prose about the rugged, breathtaking state of Maine and you’ve got a gem of a book, one that leaves you rooting for Olive, despite her numerous shortcomings, as she stumbles through love, friendship, loss, and what it means to growold. Strout, through Olive, reminds us that it’s a messy business being human, but it’s a privilege to be along for the ride.”

The Dutch House
A Novel
By Ann Patchett
Narrated by: Tom Hanks
Length: 9 hours 52 minutes
The Dutch House
“Meeting the Conroy family and stepping into their elaborate Dutch house—part museum, part home, with all its secrets and charm, comfort and sadness—enthralled me as the mystery unfolded like a gentle call to arms. From poverty to wealth and from wealth to poverty, we see through Danny’s eyes the struggle to hold the family together against grief, greed, and the heartbreak of losing all that once bound them. Patchett paints a masterpiece here; there’s no looking away. It lingers in your imagination long after the story has been told.”

The Secrets We Kept
A novel
By Lara Prescott
Narrated by: Carlotta Brentan, Cynthia Farrell, Mozhan Marnò, Saskia Maarleveld, Jonathan Davis, David Pittu & James Fouhey
Length: 10 hours 55 minutes
The Secrets We Kept
“This perfect historical novel is made of the most alluring ingredients. First, a divine and doomed love affair between Russian author Boris Pasternak and his muse and secretary, Olga Ivinskaya, a woman immortalized in Pasternak’s epic novel Doctor Zhivago, which was banned in Russia for more than 30 years. Second, two American women typists working for CIA and their forbidden love story in the midst of the Cold War and the witch hunt against homosexuals. Lara Prescott brilliantly portrays how a timeless novel like Doctor Zhivago can change course of history. After I finished reading The Secrets We Kept, I pressed the book against my chest, as if I could hear the lovers’ hearts still beating.”

Full Throttle
“It's one thing to spin an entire novel's worth full of horror, but to capture it in just a few short pages is another art altogether. Joe Hill is a master. These stories range from conventionally creepy to unexpectedly unnerving. Several, like "You Are Released," I had encountered before, but they're no less haunting the second time around.”
