Women! In! Peril!

By: Jessie Ren Marshall
Narrated by: Rachel Noe Nishizawa
Length: 7 hours 59 minutes

“Women! In! Peril! is a sharply written, eclectically bizarre collection that starts with a bang and ends in tender tears, and everything in-between. A fantastic debut from an author to watch out for! Read more

The Trees

A Novel

By: Percival Everett
Narrated by: Bill Andrew Quinn
Length: 7 hours 42 minutes

“I don't know what I was expecting, but 'gruesomely hilarious 70's-cop-show/zombie flick mashup with enough satire to satisfy the hippest professor, and enough slapstick to keep any reader guffawing while barreling through the suspense' is what the book delivered. By which I mean to say: this book is downright Shakespearean. I'll probably listen... Read more

All Friends Are Necessary

Fight Night

By: Miriam Toews
Narrated by: Miriam Toews & Georgia Toews
Length: 6 hours 19 minutes

“Not since Scout Finch have I enjoyed a child protagonist so much. Swiv is precocious, spunky, and hilarious. We hear her family’s story from her viewpoint and from that of her grandmother, Elvira, who is also smart, spunky, and hilarious. They live with Swiv’s mother, a wonderful but less central character. Much of the story of these three... Read more

Enter Ghost

By: Isabella Hammad
Narrated by: Nadia Albina
Length: 11 hours 41 minutes

“Isabella Hammad's prose is gorgeous and I look forward to reading everything she ever writes, now that I've read everything she's published so far. Sonia was such a nuanced and interesting protagonist and to see Palestine from her outsider/insider POV was such a joy, but left a strange aftertaste (compliment) that made me want to keep reading.

Godshot

A Novel

By: Chelsea Bieker
Narrated by: Lauren Ezzo
Length: 11 hours 37 minutes

"Chelsea Bieker's Godshot is an absolute masterpiece. A truly epic journey through girlhood, divinity, and the blood that binds and divides us, it is a feminist magnum opus of this, or any, time. Bieker is a pitch-perfect ventriloquist of extraordinary talent and ferocity. Imagine if Annie Proulx wrote something like White Oleander crossed with... Read more

I'm Glad My Mom Died

By: Jennette McCurdy
Narrated by: Jennette McCurdy
Length: 6 hours 25 minutes

“This is such a heavy and wonderful story. A rollercoaster of emotions with a light at the end of a very long and windy tunnel. Jennette McCurdy is such a strong woman, and even without knowing her personally, her story has made me so proud of who she has become and how far she has gotten. Very personal stories that are quite tragic, to super... Read more

Greta & Valdin

A Novel

By: Rebecca K Reilly
Narrated by: Natalie Beran, Jackson Bliss, Eilidh Beaton, Nico Evers-Swindell & Gary Furlong
Length: 9 hours 28 minutes

“Greta & Valdin is a wonderfully fresh, funny, diasporic queer family drama! Centered around a Maori-Russian sibling duo living in Aukland and their extended family and lovers, this book is filled with love, laughter, millenial meandering, and insightful depictions of anxiety and migration. The audio is so well done, especially considering... Read more

The Ministry of Time

A Novel

By: Kaliane Bradley
Narrated by: George Weightman & Katie Leung
Length: 10 hours 22 minutes

“Historical Fiction meets Spy thriller meets will-they-or-won’t-they -rom-com meets dystopian sci-fi with time travel? Yup. That’s right. Somehow this book manages to pack the best of all the genres into one really compelling story. Dare I compare it to Beyoncé? Either way, it’s just an excellent summer read! Put a bookmark on it.
