From Here to the Great Unknown by Lisa Marie Presley & Riley Keough
🎧 Audiobook

Oprah’s latest pick tells Lisa Marie Presley’s whole story for the first time. This raw, one-of-a-kind memoir was completed by her daughter Rily Keough after she passed away.

Riley got the tapes that her mother had recorded for the book, laid in her bed, and listened as Lisa Marie told story after story, and wrote a book like no other that shares the voice of both mother and daughter.

Reese’s Book Club

Society of Lies by Lauren Ling Brown
🎧 Audiobook

In Reese Witherspoon’s October selection, Maya returns to Princeton for her college reunion and her sister Naomi’s graduation, only to be thrust into a nightmare when Naomi is found dead. Though police call it an accident, Maya suspects foul play, especially after learning Naomi joined the same elite club that Maya once did—a club with dangerous secrets.

As she delves deeper into Naomi’s life, Maya uncovers chilling truths that tie her sister's death to her own dark past, where another young woman also met a tragic end. Gripping and suspenseful, this thriller unravels the sinister side of privilege and secret societies.

Good Morning America’s book club is spoiling us this month with not one, but two standout titles.

A Song to Drown Rivers by Ann Liang

This is an epic tale inspired by the legend of Xishi, one of the Four Beauties of Ancient China. In this novel, Xishi is trained to use her beauty as a weapon to infiltrate the enemy kingdom of Wu, seeking revenge for her sister’s death and the survival of her people. As she rises within the enemy palace, her delicate balance between seduction and strategy is tested by the dangerous affection of a brutal king and her deepening bond with the military advisor, Fanli.

Steeped in myth, war, and forbidden love, this story explores the complexities of sacrifice and loyalty.

Heir by Sabaa Tahir

This gripping fantasy intertwines the fates of three unforgettable characters: Aiz, a vengeance-driven orphan imprisoned by her wrath; Sirsha, a magic-wielding tracker tasked with hunting a child murderer; and Quil, a reluctant crown prince grappling with the weight of his corrupt lineage.

Set in the same world as Tahir’s An Ember in the Ashes series, this new tale explores themes of power, love, and sacrifice as a dangerous enemy threatens the Martial Empire. With heart-pounding action and deep emotional stakes, Heir is a breathtaking journey through treachery, magic, and destiny.
