The Academy Awards wrapped up, and we all ooo’ed and aah’ed at the chance to see Hollywood’s royalty, what they wore, how they reacted and, most importantly, find out who won the Oscar. Films based on books saw some action on the big screen this year: All Quiet on the Western Front, Women Talking, Pinocchio, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse all took home awards. For more of history’s most celebrated films, browse what to watch next from this list of winners and nominees on Kanopy.

But when the annual awards are over, some of us keep up with our favorite stars by following them on social media or reading about them in a magazine like Us Weekly or Star Magazine. But what if we actually got to sit down over a cup of coffee and listen to them tell their story? Although a great friend, I don’t think Matthew Perry will be showing up for that coffee and chat anytime soon, so here’s the next best thing: celebrity-narrated audiobooks.

Listen to the stars as they open up about their journeys of struggle and success by borrowing an audiobook narrated by the author from the Libby reading app. Here’s a list of 30 new or upcoming picks:
