“As a native New Yorker, I didn’t really drive. That all changed when we moved to the country. Now I HAVE to drive. Sometimes over long distances. Listening in the car has made me a huge audiobook fan! As an actor, I’ve narrated my share over the years. I was the narrator of my own audiobook. So I understand the art of storytelling, but I never really indulged as a listener. When I discovered my favorite authors reading their own work—especially memoir—it was a game changer! Road trip, anyone?” —Sharon Washington, author and narrator of Feeding the Dragon and cast member of Soothsayers.

This memoir told in verse has stayed with me since the moment I heard it. Jacqueline Woodson’s lyrical read resonates long after the last word is spoken. Like the light of the last firefly.
Trevor Noah’s storytelling as he seamlessly gives voice to the multitude of characters that inhabit his stories is nothing short of brilliant. Compelling and moving and funny.
As a Stephen King fan, I’ve read most all of his classic horror as well as some of his early short stories. I always think, “Who is this guy? How does he DO this?!” Here he shares in his own words as only he can. You don’t have to be a writer to enjoy his well-spun stories of the craft. And life.
n this culinary coming-of-age memoir Kwame leads us into the crazy world of chefs and Michelin star restaurants, but from a completely unique perspective. Absolutely riveting and inspiring.
Our first Black FLOTUS. Who doesn’t want to hear this great American story? Living history, but told like she’s sharing with a friend. Her rich voice. Her humor. I didn’t want my visit with her to end. I’ll be listening again.
