September Audiobook of the Month

After last month's hilarious romance listen, I decided it was time read a title I had been hearing about off and on all year. It was a LibraryReads pick for January and was spotlighted in the 'Book Trip' presentation for this year's Library Journal Day of Dialog in May, held concurrently with 2016's BookExpo America (BEA) in Chicago. What better way for me to catch up than to listen to the audiobook version! :-) 

Use the For Listeners tab to find this month's audiobook and scroll up and down the page to discover other possibilities for your listening pleasure.
