by Meg Wolitzer ; Read by Laurel Lefkow ‧ RELEASE DATE: Jan. 22, 1999
Settle back and let Lefkow's narration gently tell you the story of Sarah, who died tragically during the summer, and her friends, Adam, Maddy and Peter, and her mother, Natalie, who must learn to live without her. As the scenes shift from present struggle with loss to reminiscence, Lefkow's mellow voice cradles listeners, allowing them to peek into this time of struggle and acceptance of life's difficulties. The lack of dramatization is perfect for the topic of death and the loss of loved ones.

Escape on a thrilling adventure with Soneela Nankani and Andrew Eiden as they narrate this suspenseful romance. A year has passed since Simi Chopra, her assorted crew, and Jack Danger pulled off a lucrative diamond heist. Now, the Chicago Mafia boss is demanding that the jewels be returned, so Simi gets the team back together. Nankani delivers an expressive performance that emphasizes Simi's conflict between her passion for Jack and the mission. Her distinct character voices keep the listener fully immersed. Eiden's lively tone gives Jack a subtle flair and confidence that make him easy to forgive and to love.

by Gerald A. Browne ; Read by Barry Bostwick ‧ RELEASE DATE: Jan. 22, 1993
This is not a story about guns, but about blue pearls. Gerald Browne takes us to the Pacific Ocean and the world of pearl divers and natural gems and mixes in mystery, intrigue and suspense. Barry Bostwick portrays the characters in one voice, varying his intonation slightly for the Asian personalities. His reading style is very smooth, evidence of preparation and interest in the story. 18mm Blues is abridged well, collecting the important elements of the story. Unobtrusive music indicates the end of each side. Disappear into the mystery of the Far East and one of its most beautiful commodities.
