![]() Michallon has written a gorgeous, haunting, and at times terrifying novel, one that I would recommend not just for thriller fans but for literary readers as well. The narrative structure of this book is a large part of what makes it so brilliant, like a Greek tragedy told only through the voices of its female chorus. It did this not just through cliff hangers and plot twists, but by making me care deeply about the characters – namely, the women who get to narrate this book – and never the brutal man who controls their orbits. You could probably actually track the entire novel on my fitness watch – stress, pulse, blood pressure – whatever the heck else it measures. I have read a lot of thrillers and mysteries in my life, but I have never read one that made my pulse rise to the point where it probably counted as exercise. Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI (Unabridged) David Grann 2. But you’re a reader, and I have a degree in English, so I’ll try to elaborate. That word would start with a capital F, end in a ‘ck’ and have a whole lot of U’s in the middle. And please, do yourself a favor and read this piece by Rioter Kendra about how audiobooks make reading accessible.“It was pretty tempting to write a to-the-point, one-word review for this novel. ![]() If you’re looking for where to find audiobook reviews, we have a list for you. If you need a primer on audiobook apps, we got you. Old titles will surge forward seemingly out of nowhere. Titles will shift spots and drop off and pop up as more audiobooks are released and the landscape of the world changes. These lists I’ve compiled are solid only for a moment. See, the glory of a bestseller list is that it’s always evolving.

With no official all-time data, we can make up our own lists by compiling all the official lists into one. Audiobooks like Becoming by Michelle Obama, Bossypants by Tina Fey, and Born a Crime by Trevor Noah are not likely to be leaving these lists anytime soon. Often, celebrity memoirs-narrated by the author-sit on audiobook bestseller lists for a long time. In November, Donald Trump Jr.’s book made it on the nonfiction list after a series of bulk purchases by Trump and those in his circles. But let’s not forget how this list-while it is the list-is manipulatable. ![]() The New York Times has two monthly audiobook bestseller lists: Fiction and Nonfiction. Google Play, Kobo, and Nook also have their own bestseller lists for audiobooks. But retailers focus on newer releases: Audible’s bestseller list has new Audible exclusives at the top of their list, Libro.FM’s bestseller list is all recent releases, and Scribd’s list sprinkles in old titles among newer ones. Libraries (like Overdrive and Hoopla) and community lists (like any of these on Goodreads) cover every book that’s ever been published. The interesting thing about bestseller lists is that it depends on the source. For audiobooks, our sources are limited: we have retailer lists that can be controlled by advertising, we have the monthly New York Times lists, and we have user-generated lists. There aren’t official lists with all-time data, like we have for the usual weekly print lists.
