"Several years in the future, an all-female astronaut team circumnavigates the globe once every ninety minutes aboard the International Space Station, prepared to be a powerful presence in space. When a surprise set of “everyday citizens” tags along for the ride, all protocol flies right out the proverbial … airlock.
After a lifetime of being kept down on the ground, what happens when these women finally rise up and see their lives—and their planet—from high above it all?"
"It’s one year later and a LOT has changed.
Audiobook superfan Vera is “in the industry” now, and Cameron is not so sure he’s onboard.
Jennifer has rocketed to narrator fame, but not everyone is comfortable with her newfound status. Neil and Georgia are happily married, but their HEA is wreaking havoc on her writing career.
With The Audie Awards just around the corner, all these tensions are higher than ever. But you know who’s feeling just fine?
The Narwhal.
Because The Narwhal… is in love. "

"Ben is having a difficult week. After five whole years of “drinking from Mommy’s boobies,” he suddenly has to step aside for his new baby sister, Beatrice, who may or may not be human. Mommy says he has to “support her appearance no matter how humiliating it is for us as family,” but that’s hard to do when your sister has branches for arms and legs. Plus, he just found out that Daddy is having “the sex” with his new kindergarten teacher and he’s not sure how to tell Mommy. As a five-year-old entrepreneur, Ben prides himself on always staying cool under pressure, but this time... he may just burst."
"My name is Mabel, the girl who “wouldn’t hurt a fly'.
Of course I wouldn’t.
I’m an entomologist for goodness’ sake. I work in a nature center. Bugs are my jam.
It’s the humans in my life who are starting to get me down. I’m used to them calling me sweet and innocent. I can even handle them calling me naive. But when they lie and keep secrets from me? That's when my proverbial pincers want to come out.
Trouble is, I'm not the girl who fights back.
Not until a handsome groundskeeper with a dirty mouth and secrets of his own shows up and lights all sorts of fires in me.
In the bug world, the female is always the fiercest. The praying mantis doesn’t worry about being a “good girl'. Nope, she follows her instincts no matter how crass or crude they may seem to others.
Turns out I could learn a thing or two from her.
I’m not necessarily looking to tear anyone’s head off, but after decades of being nice, it's high time for me to return to nature and unleash my wild side."
"A paintball battleground. A wrestling mat for sleep-deprived new daddies. A feminine product aisle in the local drugstore. These are some of the places where men connect...at least in The Bromantic Comedies.
A compilation of humorous and heartfelt plays exploring what it means to be 'masculine' in a world where men are supposed to be tough. "
"Ilda talks to people who aren’t there.
Tilly hears fingers clawing at her door.
All the while, the moon keeps her watchful eyes on them.
Come Find Me is a time-hopping, feminist ghost story spanning two time periods. As it weaves its way through the halls of Trenton Psychiatric Hospital in 1907 and a beach house during the tumultuous summer of 1969, we discover the secret-laden lives of three women and how their worlds intertwine."
"My name is Calliope and 'I bone for a living.' Kidding. I am studying to be a paleontologist though. It's the only thing I've ever wanted to be, and I have finally landed the perfect museum internship to make all of my dino-loving dreams come true.
Trouble is, everyone wants me to be a gentle, loving sort of creature, but I'm more of the T-Rex type by nature - the kind who is determined to stomp and tear her way through any obstacle in order to get what she wants.
But when a sexy, rumbly-voiced astronomer plummets into my orbit and threatens to break open my hard little heart, my career and my whole way of looking at the world is suddenly on the line.
The dinosaurs didn't see their asteroid coming.
And I sure as hell wasn't prepared for mine. "
"It's totally normal to fall in love with an audiobook narrator's voice, right?
Right.
Just ask Vera, who listens to 'her' guy whenever and wherever she can: while driving, working, parenting, cooking, cleaning, showering...you name it.
But now, she's bringing him into the bedroom. And her husband is less than pleased.
These Walls Can Talk is a raucous and heartfelt love letter to romance audiobooks: the authors who write them, the narrators and engineers who record them, and the passionate fans who devour them."
