    • ''If you like memoirs where the author rips their heart out of their chest and leaves it beating on the floor, great, because we have so much to talk about. Kiese Laymon's memoir has left me totally speechless, but I can't wait for 10 years from now when we'll all look back and remember when we became obsessed with Kiese Laymon.'' --Rachel S., Audible Editor

    • Emily's Pick
    • "I don’t listen to a ton of nonfiction, but Call the Midwife is exactly the sort of immersive narrative history that completely captures my imagination. If you're a fan of the show you'll recognize some of the subplots depicted there, but—as is often true with adaptations—the original work is more vivid and vibrant and complete than what makes it to screen." —Emily C., Audible Editor

    • Kat's Pick
    • "With legendary profiler Jim Clemente, Holes lays out the hunt for a monster who hid in plain sight for more than 40 years. As riveting as any thriller, it’s the victim interviews—so powerful and raw, decades later—that left me breathless, honoring the courage of those who give voice to unspeakable horror, even as the perpetrator stays maddeningly silent." —Kat, Audible Editor

    • "Even though I am not usually a fan of the urban fantasy genre, I naturally gravitated towards this series for the simple fact that it takes place in Arizona (I am from Arizona) and that it is beloved by Audible listeners. A perfect blend of suspense, excitement, and humor, Kevin Hearne builds this world of the Iron Druid Chronicles with beautiful prose that I could not stop listening to." —Kyle S., Audible Editor

    • Laura's Pick
    • "The plot of The Life We Bury is obviously intriguing. But what brings this character-driven mystery to a new level is the narration by Zach Villa. His voice perfectly conveys the protagonist's mentality with a delivery that exemplifies the "too-cool-to-care-but-actually-cares-a-little" attitude." —Laura M., Audible Editor

    • Abby's Pick
    • "The incomparable Ruby Dee works her magic as she embodies the seminal autobiographical work of Harlem Renaissance folklorist Zora Neale Hurston. Dee’s raspy, expressive voice does such justice to the rich imagery and complex inner lives of the Black women of Hurston’s Southern tale, a sort of coming-of-age tale which spoke to me so directly as a young Black woman writer years ago." —Abby W., Audible Editor

    • Maggie's Pick
    • "Lauren Graham's voice is deeper than Lorelai Gilmore's, and she speaks more slowly (even at 2.5x speed) than her TV counterpart, but her advice on life, love, and not worrying too much is right out of the Stars Hollow rulebook on living a happy life.” —Maggie M., Audible Editor
