Whether you’re going on a long run in the sun or a long road trip from coast to coast, whether you’re digging in the garden or prepping for a big family barbecue, audiobooks are a great companion for summer activities. To help you out, we discounted a few for the month of June. And don’t forget to check out our Book of the Month, Where’d You Go Bernadette.
Showtime
By Jeff Pearlman
In Showtime, Pearlman relates the facts, figures, and behind-the-scenes accounts of one of the most-loved (and some might say the most-hated) teams ever: The 1980s L.A. Lakers. Great for those who closely followed the Lakers at the time as well as those who know them by reputation only.
Kill Switch
By Neal Baer & Jonathan Greene
Before writing Kill Switch, Baer and Greene produced the wildly popular television show Law & Order. In using a novel format, they are able to tell a longer, more involved story. Claire, a forensic psychiatrist, faces dangerous killers; one is locked up, but the other has been following her for some time.
The Beautiful Ashes
By Jeaniene Frost
The things Ivy has always seen, the things she has always thought of as hallucinations, are real. When her sister is taken, she teams up with Adrian to find her. Adrian has secrets he’s keeping from Ivy, but they’ll have to face them eventually. But those secrets could lead to a war that would doom them all.
Brothers, Rivals, Victors
By Jonathan W. Jordan
In Brothers, Rivals, Victors Jordan tells the story of Generals Eisenhower, Patton, and Bradley, whose teamwork, friendship, and leadership led to victory in World War II. Jordan uses the Generals’ own accounts to tell this story as you’ve never heard it before.
Masters of the Air
By Donald L. Miller
Masters of the Air is a long but engrossing nonfiction account of the American bomber boys in World War II. With the style and flair of a gifted storyteller, Miller recounts the real turbulence the bomber boys faced in and out of the air.
The Mission, the Men, and Me

Dan Gets a Minivan
By Dan Zevin
Marriage, dog, kids, minivan . . . that’s the path that Dan Zevin finds himself on in his memoir Dan Gets a Minivan. His hilarious take on his own life makes for laugh-out-loud fun, and his ease creates a relatability that parents and nonparents alike can connect with.
The Extraordinary Dad

Mark, Stephanie, and Carl. Happy New Year. I am embarrassed that I have not explored your website before as Jenny talks about it all the time. And here I am at Hugo House, which is a non-profit for the literary arts.
I am so impressed with all that you have accomplished and the titles that you have complied. Many of the authors are friends of Hugo House. i.e. Garth Stein “The Art of Racing In the Rain” is on our board. Maria Semple “Where’d You Go Bernadette” is one of our teachers. She is beloved.
I am so happy for you and all that you have done. Congratulations and I hope to see you soon.
