Husband Material
London Calling: Book #2
By Alexis Hall
Narrated by: Joe Jameson
Length: 13 hours 35 minutes
If you enjoyed Playing the Palace, then you’ll love Husband Material.
“The same uproariously funny writing and more of the moments that make for a real romance, Husband Material is this month's fav. Jameson is brilliant with voices and it's true I probably wouldn't have loved these as much as if I hadn't heard them first, but truly, Hall hits the mark for a great love story.”

A Thousand Ships
A Novel
By Natalie Haynes
Narrated by: Natalie Haynes
Length: 8 hours 33 minutes
If you enjoyed The Song of Achilles, then you’ll love A Thousand Ships.
“If you read The Iliad and The Odyssey more than the single time required in high school, if you've seen Troy in it's entirety with its Hollywood heartthrobs an embarrassingly number of times, if you've named a pet Hector or Patroclus, or if you love Madeline Miller's Song of Achilles, then this book is certainly for you. If none of that is true, but you appreciate creative narrative play or have an interest in the role of women in history, if you enjoy Greek mythology or read the entire Percy Jackson series with your kid, then this book is also for you. Well written, strong voices, and a unique style make this a delight.”

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.”
