The audiobook for August is "Purple Hibiscus" by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. It is a fictional novel which "tells the story of a young Nigerian girl, Kambili, and her family.

The audiobook for September is "Salt Houses" by Hala Alyan. It is a fictional novel "about a Palestinian family caught between present and past, between displacement and home".
