A Novel By Cecily von Ziegesar Read by Pete Simonelli

From the bestselling author of the Gossip Girl series comes a deliciously irresistible novel chronicling a year in the life of four families in an upscale Brooklyn neighborhood as they seek purpose, community, and meaningful relationships—until one unforgettable night at a raucous neighborhood party knocks them to their senses. “Surprisingly tender…Breezy, witty, and compulsively fun to read…Full of laughable moments…[A] diverting escape that will make readers long for the human connection of a tight-knit neighborhood.”

—Kirkus Reviews

Welcome to Cobble Hill.

In this eclectic Brooklyn neighborhood, private storms brew amongst four married couples and their children. There’s ex-groupie Mandy, so underwhelmed by motherhood and her current physical state that she fakes a debilitating disease to get the attention of her skateboarding, exboyband member husband Stuart. There’s the unconventional new school nurse, Peaches, on whom Stuart has an unrequited crush, and her disappointing husband Greg, who wears noise-cancelling headphones— everywhere.

A few blocks away, Roy, a well-known, newly transplanted British novelist, has lost the thread of his next novel and his marriage to capable, indefatigable Wendy. Around the corner, Tupper, the nervous, introverted industrial designer with a warehose full of prosthetic limbs struggles to pin down his elusive artist wife Elizabeth. She remains… elusive. Throw in two hormonal teenagers, a ten-year-old pyromaniac, a drug dealer pretending to be a doctor, and a lot of hidden cameras, and you’ve got a combustible mix of egos, desires, and secrets bubbling in brownstone Brooklyn.

Smart, sophisticated, yet surprisingly tender, Cobble Hill is highly entertaining portrait of contemporary family life and the colorful characters who call Brooklyn home. CECILY VON ZIEGESAR is the creator of the #1 bestselling Gossip Girl and #1 bestselling It Girl novels. She has always lived in New York City. PETE SIMONELLI is a writer, audiobook narrator, and vocalist for the band Enablers.

By Liz Nugent Read by Sam O'Mahony, Stephen Hogan, Paul Hickey, Dermot Crowley, and Mary-Lou McCarthy

Liz Nugent’s new work of ction follows three working class Irish brothers and delves into the many ways families can wreak emotional havoc across generations. “A dark jewel of a novel, re ickering in its depths and light lining its edges…[Little Cruelties is] a tragedy of evil power, crisply written and quickly paced; above all, [it’s] a thriller, swift and exciting and built like a carnival house, all false walls and trapdoors.”

—A. J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author All three of the Drumm brothers were at the funeral.

Only one of us was in the coffin.

William, Brian, and Luke: three boys bound by blood but split by fate, trained from birth by their wily mother to compete for her attention. They play games, as brothers do…yet even after the Drumms escape into the world beyond their windows, those games—those little cruelties —grow more sinister, more merciless, more dangerous. And with their lives entwined like the strands of a noose, only two of the brothers will survive.

Crisply written and quickly paced, perfect for readers of both sophisticated literary ction and breathtaking suspense, Little Cruelties gazes uninchingly into the darkness: the darkness collecting in the corners of childhood homes, hiding beneath marriage beds, clasped in the palms of two brothers shaking hands. And it conrms Liz Nugent, whose novels have been celebrated as “captivating” (People) and “highly entertaining” (The Washington Post), as one of the most exciting, perceptive voices in contemporary ction. LIZ NUGENT is the author whose debut novel, Unravelling Oliver, won the Crime Fiction Prize in the 2014 Irish Book Awards. Her second novel, Lying in Wait, went straight to number one on the Irish bestseller charts, remained there for nearly two months, and won her a second Irish Book Award. She has worked in Irish lm, theater, and television for most of her adult life. She is an award-winning writer of radio and television drama and has also written prize-winning short stories both for children and adults.

So when Liv suddenly receives a postcard from her father explaining that National Geographic is funding a documentary about his theories on Atlantis—and will she y out to Greece and help?—Liv jumps at the opportunity. As Liv slowly begins to discover, her father may not have invited her to Greece for Atlantis, but for something much more important.

He was ercely competitive but always put team success ahead of personal glory. This is fascinating portrait of one of the most admired players of all time.
