    • Augusten Burroughs takes a microscope to himself and his relationships once again in Lust & Wonder. I read my first Burroughs memoir nearly ten years ago, and I still can’t get enough.

    • "I'll never forget the college English course that introduced me to Jhumpa Lahiri, still my favorite author. It was this debut story collection—which won a little thing called the Pulitzer—that drew me in, with its moving, detailed look at the immigrant experience, and it still hasn't let go." —Diana D., Audible Editor

    • Lavina's Pick
    • "Fairytale retellings, well-researched historical fiction, tearjerkers that end on a hopeful note, and stories of courage and selflessness during World War II: these are a few of my favorite things. The Beast’s Garden happens to be all of them at once, so there’s no way I wouldn’t love it! Bonus points for Jennifer Vuletic’s engaging performance and adeptness with both male and female characters – as soon as I finished listening, I went on to add a dozen other books narrated by her to my list." —Lavina K., Audible Editor

    • Rachael's Pick
    • "Wise Blood is not light reading. It's dark humor. It's gritty. It contains words like "chifforobe" and images like mummified dwarves and theater gorillas. In a word: bizarre. In another word: brilliant." —Rachael X., Audible Editor

    • 4 out of 5 stars 1,449 ratings
    • Kat's Pick
    • "I love this smart, unsettling, and deeply weird novel about a social misfit who gets pulled into a life-changing crime. Creepy and more than a little voyeuristic, Eileen isn't for everyone—but it's a favorite of both David Sedaris and John Waters, so you're in excellent company should you fall under its spell." —Kat, Audible Editor

    • "Colm Tóibín masterfully captures the external and internal forces at work in this quietly powerful tale of a young Irish woman’s emigration experience. Both universal and distinct in time and place, its simple authenticity makes it one of my favorite listens." —Tricia F., Audible Editor

    • “P. G. Wodehouse is my ultimate cozy listen. When you're in the middle of one of his riotous plots, complete with idle gentlemen, dreadful aunts, and preternaturally wise servants, all is right with the world. Jonathan Cecil's divine narration is the cherry on top.” —Kat J., Audible Editor

    • "Don't go into this one expecting action like The Martian, but if you love a good character study this is your book. Meg Howrey highlights the small moments that make up big personalities for a book that doesn't need to blast off to be far out." —Michael D., Audible Editor

    • Emily's Pick
    • "I LOVE Rachel Joyce and this is my favorite (and, frankly, I think most underappreciated) of her novels. Though set a few decades back in upper-crusty Britain, any overwhelmed and occasionally lonely mother will relate to this beautiful and heartbreaking story. Joyce works magic by taking the small ordinary moments of an average day, and revealing the secret feelings and motivations beneath the surface." —Emily C., Audible Editor

    • Lavina's Pick
    • " I have to share my love of A Kiss for Mr. Fitzgerald. Evie’s battle against her family, her classmates at Columbia’s med school, and misogyny itself to become one of the country’s first female obstetricians is inspiring, as is her ability to maintain the kindness and compassion that led her to nurture that dream in the first place." —Lavina K., Audible Editor

    • Abby's Pick
    • "The power of this psychological thriller comes from the fact that everything in it stems from one bad decision made by a normal, fallible human, and while I may not have made that decision, it seems completely plausible . . . and terrifying." —Abby W., Audible Editor

    • 4.5 out of 5 stars 610 ratings
    • Kyle's Pick
    • "This title is a perfect representation of how an audiobook can feel more like an audio experience than just someone reading to you. My favorite parts of this listen are those where Rapaport spends entire chapters voicing distinct characters in a fantasy world where sports debates are settled in a court of law, among other things. This listen is absolutely absurd, in all the best ways, and each chapter brings a fresh new brand of crazy." —Kyle S., Audible Editor

    • Emily's Pick
    • "This mind-blowingly pungent YA tale examines rape culture among American teens with a perfectly pitched multicast. The setting is Anywhere, USA, and Jack and Claire (aka "P. K.") each represent the stereotypes of their genders, with Alex—voiced by a stern, take-no-prisoners Amanda Dolan—playing a foil to everyone else's social acquiescence. She doesn't bend to the rules and constraints imposed by the rest of the world, which is both her triumph and her destruction." —Emily C., Audible Editor

    • “Much like coconut cake, this was light and sweet (but not too sweet) and it hit the spot. I learned that Wisconsin should be known for more than just its cheese and that opening a restaurant isn’t so easy! Coincidence shines as Reichert’s debut novel.” —Melissa B., Audible Editor
