Fiction
TJ Klune's imagination and writing are brilliant, but Daniel Henning's narration and voices for all the different characters (there are many) is phenomenal. I LOVED this book! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune
Such a wonderful story that pulls at your heart strings. It is the sequel to The House in the Cerulean Sea. I highly recommend TJ Klune's books in audiobook format because Daniel Henning (narrator) is a voice-acting genius! So good! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Somewhere Beyond the Sea by TJ Klune
A historical fiction novel that will make you feel ALL the feels! I was so immersed in this story and invested in (main character) Little Flower's fate that I couldn't stop! "Just one more chapter!" The audiobook narration was great and SO helpful wh...
The Lotus Shoes by Jane Yang
Relatable and lovable characters, finding themselves in adolescence through the best and worst experiences of their lives. I loved this book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz
Heart-wrenching, gut-punching, traumatic and an emotional roller-coaster. This story was so powerful and well-told that it made me question my own morals and what I would do in such a situation. Unfathomable but brilliant. *(Trigger warning-Read revi...
Saving Noah by Lucinda Berry
An amazing historical fiction inspired by Martha Ballard (1735-1812). I finished this in 2 days, learned a lot and really enjoyed the story. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon
The haunting narration takes this suspenseful story to the next level. I found myself holding my breath. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Road by Cormac McCarthy
NOT the same as the movie, but in the best way. Told through the POV of a journalist recording the testimonies of those who survived a "zombie war" which nearly decimated humanity. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
World War Z: Oral History of Zombie War
I will never stop recommending this audiobook!! I don't even like sci-fi but this...a truly great story. I have heard people lose interest when reading it because the "science" isn't appealing...LISTEN to it. Its a trillion times better and the narra...
Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir
Non-Fiction
A memoir. I truly did not expect to enjoy this. It caught my eye and was available on the Libby app so I gave it an unenthusiastic try and it blew my mind. I didn't know much about Julia Fox aside from her "15 minutes of fame" with Kanye West and vir...
Down the Drain by Julia Fox
The biography of Louis Zamperini, an Olympic runner turned WWII POW who endured hardships beyond belief. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Unbroken: WWII Story of Survival & Redemption
Fascinating. Heart-breaking. Psychology. What happens when a young brain is traumatized? How does terror, abuse, or disaster affect a child's mind--and how can that mind recover? Child psychiatrist Bruce Perry recounts the stories these children face...
The Boy Who Was Raised as a Dog: Stories
A Stanford neurosurgeon recounts his life experience and reflects on his own mortality. Thought-provoking, moving, profound. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi
There is just something I love about listening to someone tell their own life story; especially if it is a life so unlike my own that I end up in awe and admiration. This is that. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Sea Stories: My Life in Special Operations
