Oathbringer
A satisfying installment in a series that delivers on all its promises. The author recommends reading the shorter installment Edgedancer (also available in audio) before tackling this volume.

Slayers & Vampires: The Complete Uncensored, Unauthorized Oral History of Buffy & Angel
Oral history, when done well, can provide perceptions that capture and reinvigorate the zeitgeist of a particular moment, and the audio format can do even more to bring that energy alive. This will appeal to nostalgic fans, but as an audio production it fails to reach the heights of As You Wish or As If, the oral history of Clueless. Inessential purchase for libraries. ["Reading the reflections of the many people responsible for producing Buffy and Angel will be like watching the must-see extras in the DVD boxed set": LJ 8/17 review of the Tor hc.]

Recommended for all collections. ["A stunningly powerful work…this remarkable work of historical fiction gives an intimate view of 19th-century fears and mores through the voices of the bardo's denizens": LJ 10/1/16 starred review of the Random hc.]
Lincoln in the Bardo
Recommended for all collections. ["A stunningly powerful work…this remarkable work of historical fiction gives an intimate view of 19th-century fears and mores through the voices of the bardo's denizens": LJ 10/1/16 starred review of the Random hc.]

Crosstalk
Readers who enjoyed the mix of romantic comedy and social satire in Willis's Bellwether will be interested, as will be fans of light speculative fiction. ["A fun, romantic near-future romp from an sf master": LJ 8/16 starred review of the Del Rey: Ballantine hc.]

Crisply narrated by Phyllida Nash, this work will appeal to both casual and more serious listeners interested in a fresh look at ancient history. ["A must-read for any classical studies readers, and strongly recommended for anyone with an interest in history": LJ 11/1/15 starred review of the Liveright: Norton hc.]
SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome
Crisply narrated by Phyllida Nash, this work will appeal to both casual and more serious listeners interested in a fresh look at ancient history.

Grey
This is nonessential listening, but it does eventually offer a look into Christian Grey's brutal past from his perspective. ["Though some readers of the 'Fifty Shades' series might be disappointed that the character they imagined is not the Christian Grey author James writes about here, others will be pleasantly surprised": LJ 7/1/15 online review of the Vintage hc; ow.ly/RHFLc.]
