Interview: Fredrik Backman Dedicates The Winners to Those Who Love Something Too Much
My Friends
Featured Listen
Anxious People is a character-driven novel about a failed bank robbery with unexpected results. The novel explores themes of parenting, marriage, mental health, and human connection through a diverse cast of characters brought together by unusual circumstances. In 2021, Backman’s quirky and heartwarming tale was adapted into a popular Netflix miniseries.
Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time
The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.
