    • "Throughout this raw portrait of his time as a child in Bessemer, Alabama to his present day success, Gucci is honest about his struggles—with drug dependency and the law among other things—but what sets his story apart from other autobiographies is his utter and complete self-awareness. Now sober and levelheaded, he can see that so often his own worst enemy is himself, despite the cards often being stacked against him." —Kyle S., Audible Editor

    • Courtney's Pick
    • “Everything old is hyper-relevant again, and like its fellow dystopian speculative classic The Handmaid’s Tale, Ray Bradbury’s iconic tale of the book-burning firefighter is poised to also be at the forefront of water cooler conversation, thanks to a TV adaptation starring Michael B. Jordan and Michael Shannon. Here, Tim Robbins is at the height of his art in this beautifully subtle narration.” —Courtney R., Audible Editor

    • Katie's Pick
    • You took over our office in a way I haven’t seen a book do before or since, and listening to Caroline Kepnes’s debut has become an unofficial prerequisite of joining our team. There isn’t an editor that’s not completely obsessed with Santino Fontana’s flawless performance as stalker Joe, and we’ve already had viewing parties for the TV adaptation.” —Katie O., Audible Editor

    • "Bryan Cranston narrates this classic collection of short stories and to say that he kills it would be an understatement. This book is already amazing, but Cranston takes the audiobook to new heights.” — Aaron S., Audible Editor

    • Katie's Pick
    • "Two young women become best friends during World War II after their paths cross in their work for the British army . . . and I can’t say much more than that without giving away this gorgeous and mesmerizing plot. I trusted both characters implicitly as if they were my own best friends, and I was so emotionally invested in their stories—I had to pull over in the car more than once to regain my composure while listening. The dual narration by Morven Christie and Lucy Gaskell is amongst the best I’ve ever heard—I only wish they performed more audiobooks." —Katie O., Audible Editor

    • Tricia's Pick
    • "Alan Cumming has crafted a perfectly framed memoir. He doesn’t overreach by trying to tell his entire history, but focuses on how his current life is tied to the legends and truths of his family’s past. It flows organically and is an absolute joy to listen to." —Tricia F., Audible Editor

    • 4.5 out of 5 stars 28,324 ratings
    • Catherine's Pick
    • "Under the Dome is some of Stephen King’s finest and most chilling work and in true form, he shows us just how monstrous human beings can be when pushed to the brink. The first (and so far only) book to make me miss my subway stop, Under the Dome haunted me for months after I finished listening.” —Catherine H., Audible Editor

    • Telling the Truth about Perfectionism, Inadequacy, and Power
    • By: Brené Brown
    • Narrated by: Lauren Fortgang
    • Length: 10 hrs and 44 mins
    • Release date: 12-16-10
    • Language: English
    • 4.5 out of 5 stars 5,856 ratings
    • Courtney's Pick
    • "Perfectionism may be the most popular "flaw" to ever hit an interview room, but it’s also a damaging self-perception that—coupled with its evil twin, shame—prevents those who practice it from achieving true greatness. 'Shame researcher' Brene Brown is the gold standard of the real, unvarnished approach to forgiving oneself as a path to self-improvement, and this is her first masterwork." —Courtney R., Audible Editor

    • Michael's Pick
    • "I hadn't cried in years before I heard this book. Cormac McCarthy's vocabulary is truly unparalleled, but you can tell he spends even more time crafting his characters and their stories than he does with words—which is really saying something." —Michael D., Audible Editor

    • 3.5 out of 5 stars 8,681 ratings
    • Kyle's Pick
    • "Mid-century American society is considered, by many, to be the golden age of the United States, but how easily we could have been forced into a very different reality is what makes this so vivid and chilling a listen. Philip K. Dick is a master of melding sci-fi and reality in a way that causes you to pause and assess your own life and times, and to that end this book does not disappoint." —Kyle S., Audible Editor

    • Katie's Pick
    • “Even if you’re not grieving, or if you’ve been blessed to have never lost a loved one, this is a book you should listen to. At some point in your life, Option A will not be a possibility, and you will need to accept and own Option B. Sandberg is proof that joy beyond loss is possible, and she and her writing partner and friend Adam Grant are here to help you be resilient.” —Katie O., Audible Editor
