As I\u2019ve cycled between audiobooks, ebooks, and physical books these last few years, a personal pattern has emerged. I\u2019ve noticed that certain genres, and even subgenres, work better for me as audiobooks rather than physical or ebooks, and vice versa. Then there are the books where I mix and match. <\/p>\n

When it comes to my usual audiobook fare, though, I gravitate towards mysteries, thrillers, romances, and nonfiction. In fact, listening to nonfiction audiobooks has helped me read more nonfiction in general, which is something I\u2019ve had as a personal goal for years. If your book club is looking to get into new titles and is down for an audiobook, the following are new books out this month that are at the top of my list to listen to. There\u2019s an Appalachian mountain-set romantasy, a murder-mystery at the end of the world, a long-lost WWII Hiroshima memoir, and more. <\/p>\n

Death Card<\/a> by Jasmine Smith, narrated by Andia Winslow<\/h3>\n
\n

Mikaela Broussard is built a little differently than I was at 18. For one, she\u2019s a tarot-reading witch who is set to be the next Witch Queen of her coven, and two, she\u2019s following around her future murderer. More on that second part: during a tarot reading, Mikaela draws the death card and sees the client sitting across from her, stabbing her in a vision. So, she gets to know her and spends time with her, on some keep your enemies close type of thing. I guess<\/em>. Thing is, Joelle, the future murderess is becoming more and more appealing to Mikaela\u2026but then all these witches start showing up with their magic stolen, and Mikaela has to find out who\u2014or what\u2014is responsible. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

(Mostly) Human Resources<\/a> by Grace Viall, narrated by Lauren Ezzo, Sebastian Brown<\/h3>\n
\n

This is another romantasy, though this time it\u2019s not YA, and it is also set in the Appalachian Mountains. And, let me just say that I never pictured a romantasy involving cryptids, but here we are. Or rather, here Alexys is, as she works behind a desk for a company that categorizes and manages the cryptids of the world. When Elliot, a warden under watch, goes missing, she takes it upon herself to go out into the mountains to save him, especially since he was last chasing a dangerous and never-recorded monster. And that\u2019s where Nic comes in. Alexys is his work nemesis, and he cann\u2019t just let her see a never-recorded monster without him. Now, this is a romantasy as I mentioned, and the Nice doesn\u2019t being alone with Alexys\u2026but it\u2019s alone time spent in the Appalachian mountains, where just whistling could get you got.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
