Ladies, Listen Up!
I feel bad even putting “Ladies” in the title because really, anyone could listen to these awesomely narrated books. However, I liked it because it reminded me of Beyonce’s lyric, “Okay ladies, now let’s get in formation”. I think each of these titles feature either: girl power, independence, or just make you think. I loved these audio selections and I hope you do as well! -- Jen Pino

A Novel
Hogarth Shakespeare
By Anne Tyler

Vinegar Girl
“Tyler's latest offering is part of the Hogarth Shakespeare Project, in which Shakespeare's works are retold by contemporary authors. In this retelling of The Taming of the Shrew, Kate Battista keeps house for her scientist father and her younger sister, Bunny. When Dr. Battista's lab assistant, Pyotr, is in danger of being deported, a plan is hatched to marry him to Kate so he can stay in the country. The story that follows is a thought-provoking look at the role of women in society, with questions that are just as relevant today as they were more than 400 years ago, all addressed with the same insightful humor that readers have come to expect from Tyler.”
