Palmer's THE NEW HUSBAND, read by January LaVoy and Rebecca Soler. Submit your comments about the audiobooks you've listened to by Friday, May 1st at noon ET, and you'll be in the running to win both these audio titles.

Also, we have updated our Books on Screen feature. Although all movies releasing in theaters this month have been postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic, there are plenty of book-to-screen adaptations on television that you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home. April's roundup includes the season one finale of Hulu's "Little Fires Everywhere"; season six of "Bosch" on Amazon Prime; the conclusion of HBO's "The Plot Against America," along with the continuation of season two of "My Brilliant Friend"; and the series premieres of "Normal People" on Hulu, "Defending Jacob" on Apple TV+ and "Belgravia" on EPIX.
