10 Listens I Almost Missed in 2018

There are, undoubtedly, more than 10 books that never made it onto my personal radar in 2018, but these are the ones I feel guiltiest about neglecting. I’ve already begun to make amends by starting with my lead title, The Golden State. What a crazy, wonderful ride this listen has been! It gives an almost uncomfortably realistic view of motherhood, is a road trip tale, and is uniquely “California” in the best of ways. The next nine novels on my list—a blend of contemporary, historical, and literary—are each highly regarded and well worth checking out now if, like me, you missed them the first time around. —Tricia, Audible Editor
