Celebrating 25 Years of Great Listening!

To commemorate 25 amazing years at Hachette Audio, we’ve selected one iconic title from our past to represent each, from 1994 to 2019. This was no easy task, as each progressive year has produced even more bestsellers that made us laugh and cry, from inspiring memoirs to literary fiction that makes us think; from smart nonfiction that changes minds and lives to fun stories we return to when we’re feeling down. We’ve listened in cars on commutes and vacations, in the gym, while doing chores around the house, or just while relaxing. To all the hours we’ve spent with beloved authors and excellent narrators, and to many more over the next 25!
