Title: His Girl Hollywood Author: Maureen Lee Lenker Narrator: Patti Murin Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 27 minutes Release date: January 14, 2025 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: From Entertainment Weekly columnist Maureen Lee Lenker comes the standalone follow-up to It Happened One Fight, a rompy second-chance romance set in the glittering world of 1930s film. Arlene Morgan has always dreamed of being a movie director, like so many women in the silent era before her. But when Evets Studios finally gives her a shot, a rare thing in 1930s Hollywood, she's dismayed to discover that her leading man is none other than Don Lamont. Born Don Lazzarini, Don was Arlene's next-door-neighbor growing up, two best friends with two big dreams. He's the only man she's ever loved… except he abandoned her to pursue his dance career in New York, and she hasn't seen or heard from his since. But Don, despite his Broadway success, has been caught under the thumb of his gangster manager Frankie Martino for the last eight years, unable to come home. When he gets offered a role in a Hollywood picture, he leaps at the chance to free himself once and for all. But clashing with his director, the girl he once knew as Lena, leaves him scrambling to find his footing. As the two unpack old wounds and struggle to work together, Don starts to realize Lena might have been his dream girl all along. But she doesn't know about Frankie, and getting her involved in his contract would put her in danger, too. It's going to take quite the footwork to prove his feelings and help make Arlene's picture a success before Frankie takes drastic measures to keep his most valuable leading man.

Now she and Sinistro, her black cat familiar, have left their home in New Jersey to train with magical veterinarians around the world. And a conference in Argentina has come just in time. A company called C&C Medicinals is kidnapping and hurting magical animals to make medicine for humans! Giada knows firsthand how dangerous the company can be. She saved a unicorn from one of their henchmen just last month. Once Giada gets to Argentina, she’ll spread the word. But there’s something suspicious going on at the conference, and Giada and Sinistro suspect that C&C Medicinals is at the root of it. Before they can do anything about it, Sinistro is kidnapped! With help from old friends and new ones, including a shy young leviathan, Giada will do whatever it takes to bring down C&C Medicinals and save Sinistro. This third and final installment in the Giada the Healer series, which award-winning author Laura Ruby called “perfect for fans of Rick Riordan,” perfectly blends action-packed thrills with a tender exploration of grief.

In Praise of Listening: A Gathering of Stories by Christian McEwen

Title: In Praise of Listening: A Gathering of Stories Author: Christian McEwen Narrator: Christian McEwen Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 46 minutes Release date: December 10, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Mindfulness & Meditation Publisher's Summary: In her latest book, In Praise of Listening, Christian McEwen reflects on listening (silence, music, nature, prayer) in a series of thoughtful chapters, each one focused on a different theme. When an athlete speaks of 'listening to his body,' or a gardener describes herself as 'listening to the land,' when writers and artists explain that they are 'listening' to their work-in-progress, they are using the word as she chooses to use it here—as an extended metaphor for openness and receptivity, rippling out from the self-centered human to the farthest reaches of the non-human world. In Praise of Listening is a kind of sister or first cousin to McEwen's earlier, timely, and very popular, World Enough & Time, with the same emphasis on creativity and slowing down. As McEwen says: Most of us think of listening in fairly literal fashion: human beings listening (or not listening) to one another; the pleasure of attending to a familiar piece of music. But listening can have a far broader and more capacious meaning, moving out beyond the small apparatus of the ears to the hands or belly or enveloping spirit/mind.
