    • Emily's Pick
    • "This won all the awards in England in 2011 (including Amazon UK's Book of the Year), but still counts as a bona fide hidden gem stateside. Whenever I recommend Elizabeth Hayne's breakout thriller (and I do often) I describe it as the perfect antidote to Christian Grey. Controlling boyfriends aren't cool, guys, but they do provide fodder for a killer story." —Emily C., Audible Editor

    • Courtney's Pick
    • "I have too many things. Chances are you do, too. Equally likely is you are having trouble changing your mindset to reduce the accumulation. Fumio Sasaki helps you look at your habits with humor, candor, and honesty, so that when you’re about to buy one more thing, you stop and ask yourself why. His central message reminds me of a transformative bumper sticker I often saw growing up: Live simply so others may simply live." —Courtney R., Audible Editor

    • Lavina's Pick
    • "Nerdy nonfiction is right up my alley, but this book should appeal to anyone who’s anxious about an impending apocalypse—zombie, nuclear, or otherwise. In a world where social media’s serving us an infinite scroll worth of hyperbolic headlines, Ridley offers not only reassurance, but empirical evidence that the world’s made more progress than we give it credit for, and it’s all going to be okay." —Lavina K., Audible Editor

    • "I'd been obsessed with this bizarre unsolved mystery of five hikers who perished under strange circumstances for years before this book came out, so I felt a sort of kinship with the equally obsessed Eichar throughout this novel. For those who hate mysteries to remain unsolved, Eichar's theory is one worth pondering!" —Sam P., Audible Editor

    • "Being introduced to Octavia E. Butler was an awakening for me.
