This year, on Saturday, November 24th, nestled in between two of the ugliest days of the year—Black Friday and Cyber Monday—is a beautiful little day called Indies First. Have you heard of it? It’s a celebration of independent bookstores. It stands in complete defiance of everything that Black Friday and Cyber Monday have come to represent. It’s the day where you get to travel down to your local bookstore and peruse the shelves, shoulder-to-shoulder with other members of your community.
Educated by Tara Westover currently holds the #2 spot on the Libro.fm Bestselling Audiobooks list, with good reason. Born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho, Tara Westover was seventeen the first time she set foot in a classroom. Her family was so isolated from mainstream society that there was no one to ensure the children received an education, and no one to intervene when one of Tara’s older brothers became violent. When another brother got himself into college, Tara decided to try a new kind of life. Her quest for knowledge transformed her, taking her over oceans and across continents, to Harvard and to Cambridge University.
The Libro.fm Top 10 Audiobooks of 2018 were selected based on sales through more than 550 independent bookstores and recommendations by our 5,000 bookselling partners. Congratulations to the authors, narrators, and publishers of these audiobooks!

Kate Atkinson’s first novel, Behind the Scenes at the Museum, was named England’s Whitbread Book of the Year in 1996. Since then, she has written nine more ground-breaking, bestselling books. Her latest novel, Transcription, a dramatic story of WWII espionage, betrayal, and loyalty, was heralded by the Seattle Times as “mesmerizing, from every angle.”
