I was shocked to discover this final installment to the blockbuster Lunar Chronicles series clocks in at 832 pages, or 23 hours of audio. That is absurdly long for a YA novel, yet it didn't feel too long while I was reading it. In this final installment, Meyer draws all her characters back to Luna to incite a rebellion against Queen Levana. All in all, this was a satisfying conclusion to a great series, and that's all I could hope for as a reader. If you're new to the series, don't jump in here: it's important to read these books in order. A word of warning: it's been a long time since I read the previous books in the series, and during the first half hour of Winter, I was a little concerned about how many details I'd forgotten. But as I listened, it came back to me. (23 hr 30 min) More info →

Graham Greene is frequently included in "novels everyone should read" and "best of the century" lists, and I've been meaning to read him for years. But I'd never made it a priority ... until I found out that Colin Firth narrates this version. This short novel might not hold the broader appeal of the other novels on this list, but I found it enjoyable and thought-provoking, and Firth's narration is pitch perfect. If you love Brideshead Revisited, read this immediately. (6 hr 28 min) More info →
