I’m planning to write a longer post about audiobooks next month, but in the meantime I hope you enjoy listening below to the first chapter of Open Bar, which will be published by SparkPress and distributed by Simon & Schuster on August 12. You can find links to pre-order in physical, e-book, and audiobook formats here and can check out the first trade review here, in which Kirkus Reviews writes that Open Bar is “A timely and absorbing novel that asks what it costs to tell the truth.”
Please click below to listen to Moniqua Plante narrate Open Bar’s first chapter. I would love to hear your thoughts!
Next Book Club Meeting
Our next Book Club meeting will be in three weeks on Tuesday, June 24 at 8pm ET, when we’ll discuss North Woods by Daniel Mason. Registration is open here. This novel is described as “A sweeping novel about a single house in the woods of New England, told through the lives of those who inhabit it across the centuries—a daring, moving tale of memory and fate from the Pulitzer Prize finalist and author of The Piano Tuner and The Winter Soldier.”
Feel free to attend even if you don’t have time to read the book before then, and please pass on the info to anyone else who might be interesting in joining!
