    • Double trouble
    • ''A twisted sister dynamic has rarely been so enjoyable to explore as the one that Oyinkan Braithwaite has created in her edgy debut novel. Just as the younger Ayoola has embraced her role as the pretty, spoiled one in the Nigerian family, Korede has taken her role as the forgettable, responsible one to a new level as she expertly covers up her sister’s nasty little habit of killing her suitors. The real question becomes how far she will go when the next one in her sister’s path of destruction is a man Korede dreams of for herself. Listening to Adepero Oduye narrate this surprisingly funny yet suspenseful treat gives you a real sense of the internal turmoil Korede endures as she struggles with her family's problematic dynamics and her stunted sense of self.'' —Abby, Audible Editor

    • His brother’s keeper
    • ''From the opening chapter of Claire Adams’s Golden Child—which is peppered with the language and landscape of this beautiful yet complicated Caribbean island nation, as well as the nods to class and socioeconomic strife that run throughout—it is a loving, yet clear-eyed look at Adam’s and my shared birthplace. But what really makes this debut novel a stunner is the heartbreaking look at twin brothers Peter and Paul—one bright and destined for great things, the other painfully slower by comparison—and their family’s fears and hopes in the face of one agonizing decision. It’s a story that you often wish would go another way but nevertheless are compelled to finish, as you’re drawn deeper by both Obi Abili’s enrapturing narration, which bounces between clear British and Trini Creole, and Adam’s riveting and unsettling prose.'' —Abby, Audible Editor

    • A fiction/history cocktail, served by Simon Vance
    • ''If a Booker Prize-winning novel about Thomas Cromwell’s machinations to depose Anne Boleyn seems intimidating, here’s a little secret: everything in the book takes place from Cromwell’s (completely engaging) point of view. Simon Vance performs each scene, word, and thought with the perfect clarity of a genius courtier trying to make his mark on the world. In the game of (Tudor) thrones, you listen or you lose out!'' —Christina, Audible Editor

    • Pride and Prejudice…but in the hood.
    • '' Let me start with the fact that I am a HUGE Austen fan, and I will listen to just about any modern day adaptation of her novels (albeit with varying degrees of delight). Pride is a particularly successful retelling of Pride and Prejudice precisely because it is not an exact scene-by-scene adaptation and because the characters, whose names give a nod to the original character’s names, bring their own vibrant energy to the story ( a sort of sazón one might say). Acevedo’s narration is as smooth and melodic as ever, making this title even more of must-listen.'' —Mariana, Audible Editor

    • The mists of memory
    • ''Buried Giant is a languid, masterful study of characterization, language, and memory. There’s lots of walking and talking in this listen, but I never found myself bored because the characters—oh, my word, the characters—resound with personality, desires, and mysterious motivations. The listening experience feels like a chess match being played in the fog, where the board itself has hills and valleys which may or may not conceal a slumbering monster from another age. This is patient, literary fiction at its finest.'' —Sean, Audible Editor

    • Difficult protagonists are my favorite protagonists
    • ''This is the title that got me into children’s literature, beginning my decade-long career in the wonderful world of kidlit. Edward, the book’s protagonist, is a difficult one: a cherished but spoiled toy to an affluent young girl. As a result, he hasn’t experienced much beyond his privileged existence. But then he’s sent careening into the wider world, carried from one harrowing or bittersweet experience to another, until he emerges as a wiser and kinder version of himself. I believe most listeners will emerge from this listening experience similarly.'' —Sean, Audible Editor

    • Did someone say “hot mess”?
    • ''I love a good hot mess, and Queenie, the 25-year-old leading lady of this story, lives up to that promise. After a rocky breakup, Queenie finds herself in one bad relationship after another, and turns to a phenomenal cast of supporting characters dubbed “The Corgis” for emotional support. Ultimately, Queenie learns that the most important relationship for her to repair is the one with herself. This delightful novel follows in the footsteps of great British rom-com classics like Pride and Prejudice and Bridget Jones’s Diary, and bonus points to writer Candice Carty Williams for getting real about mental health and what it’s actually like to be a struggling twenty-something in today’s world.'' —Rachel, Audible Editor

    • A charming tale of travel and transformation
    • ''This was one of my personal favorites last year. On the surface, it’s about unlikely travel companions on a tour across the country, but the real story is in the quiet transformations the characters undergo while learning about themselves and one another. Together, they confront their respective burdens of loss, repression, unfulfilled dreams, intercultural and intergenerational conflict, and ignorance of the world beyond their own little corner.

    • A historical masterpiece
    • ''I came to this book through my dad, whose initial recommendation may have garnered an eye roll. But, like Young Frankenstein and yacht rock, sometimes his favorites end up being…cool!?! The first in the Jack Aubrey series takes you on a naval adventure, set against the backdrop of the Napoleonic wars and packed with period detail so meticulously authentic you can go on your own Master & Commander weekend getaway, complete with historically accurate menus and accommodations, should you choose. Or you can just listen to the epic audiobooks, handsomely narrated by the incomparable Patrick Tull. If there’s such a thing as a “dadsterpiece,” this is it.'' —Kat, Audible Editor

    • Love, arriving swiftly, ultimately proves to be incomprehensible
    • ''‘Opening in 1963, 19-year-old Paul (student, home from Uni) and 48-year-old Susan (married, mother of two) meet playing mixed doubles at the tennis club, and fall face-first in love. Promises are made instinctively and with little foresight, setting in motion the central conflict of Paul's life. Throughout the narrative, Barnes moves almost randomly between first, second, and third person, but narrator Guy Mott's deft transitions are so seamless that it's not immediately apparent to the listener. And this struck me as exactly how self-reflection works: you view yourself from every angle, and here this shifting vantage point creates the room in the narrative for moments of granular honesty, both beautiful and gruesome.''' —Emily, Audible Editor

    • ''Before he became known for his incredible acting chops as scam-artist-turned-drug-lord-lawyer Saul Goodman in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, Odenkirk was better known as being part of comedic royalty, writing for SNL and co-creating the massively influential alt-comedy sketch series Mr. Show. Here, he reunites with many Show alums to bring the same mix of highbrow conceptual comedy and insane silliness that launched a million sketch writing classes. If you need a laugh, look no further. Plus, Odenkirk's got one of the best voices out there.'' —Doug, Audible Editor

    • True story about actor Will Patton
    • ''Because Nobel Prize-winning author William Faulkner has the reputation (sometimes) of being hard to understand, Audible wanted to cast a narrator who is both a stellar performer *and* an accessible interpreter of stories dense with meaning. Enter Will Patton. I once asked Will Patton for the secret of engaging narration, and he said,mic ‘Easy. I don’t step up to the mic until I understand the value of every word.’ (Bonus audio track from James Lee Burke, too!)'' —Christina, Audible Editor

    • One of my favorite writers
    • ''Since hearing of her through a glowing review from David Sedaris, Ottessa Moshfegh has quickly become one of my favorite writers. Maybe the title is a dead giveaway, but I'm convinced that she holds some otherworldly or mystical power to peek behind the curtain and see life as it really is; vividness on the level of an inescapable, hyper-lit drugstore mirror. Which is to say she holds the highest quality that all great writers share: the ability to make one experience in the world totally anew.'' —Doug, Audible Editor
