Title: Praying for That Man: A Love Story from Above Author: Leanne Rozell Narrator: Casey Holloway Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 21 minutes Release date: May 5, 2023 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: We've all grown up watching fairy tales, hearing fantastical love stories, and feeling the desire to be pursued to the ends of the earth. However, for many of us, our story involves treacherous paths, uncertain futures, and battles against villains both great and small. In other words, an endless road of searching, wandering, and waiting. Leanne Rozell isn't a fairy princess who was switched at birth. A wicked stepsister didn't lock her away in an ivory tower. She didn't battle it out with a fire-breathing dragon in order to escape. And yet, through prayer, pursuit, and a whole lot of faith, she is very much living her fairy-tale dream. We often think of fairy tales in the form of a brave knight on a white horse who carries us away from all danger. But what Leanne has learned is that—whatever your story may be—it has twists and turns that we seldom expect. Our stories aren't just simply about being rescued and whisked away. They're stories of growth, stories of battling darkness, stories about finding our way in this world, and stories about trusting in the One who desires to walk through each and every battle with us. With enough faith to make it rain, He gives us a more beautiful love story than we could have ever imagined. This is a story about a girl's journey to belief in the power of 'what if.' What if she recklessly chased after the King, entrusting her heart to Him? What if she prayed without ceasing, believing that He would bring her the handsome prince? And what if, in that pursuit, her answer came true?

Laura Dern and Diane Ladd always had a close relationship, but the stakes were raised when Diane developed a sudden life-threatening illness. Diane’s doctor prescribed long walks to build back her lung capacity. The exertion was challenging, and Laura soon learned the best way to distract her mom was to get her talking and telling stories.    Their conversations along the way began to break down the traditional barriers between mothers and daughters. They discussed the most personal topics: love, sex, marriage, divorce, art, ambition, and legacy. In Honey, Baby, Mine, Laura and Diane share these conversations, as well as reflections and anecdotes, taking readers on an intimate tour of their lives. Complementing these candid exchanges, they have included photos, family recipes, and other mementos. The result is a celebration of the power of leaving nothing unsaid that will make you want to call the people you love the most and start talking.

Title: All In: How we build a country that works Author: Lisa Nandy Narrator: Lisa Nandy Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 55 minutes Release date: November 24, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 1 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: ‘A persuasive manifesto for a better Britain.’ Observer Book of the Day Britain needs a fresh start. This timely book by one of the stars of the new government shows how to achieve it. In this brilliant and accessible intervention, Lisa Nandy reveals how Britain can leave behind the mess in which we find ourselves. All In charts a course towards a fairer, more equal, more prosperous country by drawing on the greatest asset we have – each other. Rapid global changes, political division and economic crisis have left Britain reeling. For decades, large swathes of the country have been shut out, condemned to low productivity, underinvestment and managed decline, and stripped of their voice. With most major cities now beset with high housing costs, air pollution and congestion, even the ‘winners’ are losing. All In shows how, by handing power and resources to people with a stake in the outcome, Britain can draw on the talent, assets and potential in every part of the country and start firing on all cylinders again. Finding strength rather than fear in our differences, it reimagines the relationship between people and government so that all of us can play our part in meeting the challenges of our age and rebuilding Britain the only way that works – together. Lucid, clear-eyed and hopeful, this book sets out how we restore values, energy and direction to our politics and offers a glimpse of the alternative future that remains within our grasp.

Bono - artist, activist and the lead singer of Irish rock band U2 - has written his autobiography: honest and irreverent, intimate and profound, Surrender is the story of the remarkable life he's lived, the challenges he's faced and the friends and family who have shaped and sustained him. Narrated by the author, SURRENDER is an intimate, immersive listening experience, telling stories from Bono's early days in Dublin, to joining a band and playing sold out stadiums around the world with U2, plus his more than 20 years of activism. Throughout a remarkable life, music has always been a constant for Bono and in the audiobook, his distinctive voice is interwoven with a very personal soundtrack adding atmosphere and texture to each and every scene. From moments of classic U2 hits to snippets by The Clash, Patti Smith, Verdi, Johnny Cash and Mozart, SURRENDER also exclusively features clips of newly recorded reimagined versions of U2 songs including 'Sunday Bloody Sunday', 'With Or Without You', 'One', 'Beautiful Day' and more, glimpsed for the first time on 'SURRENDER: 40 Songs, One Story'. As one of the music world's most iconic artists and the cofounder of organizations ONE and (RED), Bono's career has been written about extensively. But in Surrender, it's Bono who picks up the pen, writing for the first time about his remarkable life and those he has shared it with. In his unique voice, Bono takes us from his early days growing up in Dublin, including the sudden loss of his mother when he was 14, to U2's unlikely journey to become one of the world's most influential rock bands, to his more than 20 years of activism dedicated to the fight against AIDS and extreme poverty. Writing with candour, self-reflection, and humour, Bono opens the aperture on his life - and the family, friends and faith that have sustained, challenged and shaped him. Surrender's subtitle, '40 Songs, One Story,' is a nod to the book's 40 chapters, which are each named after a U2 song. 'Bono's new memoir, Surrender, elevates the audiobook into an art form.'

'It wasn't me. I didn't do it. And I'll never do it again!' says Brian Johnson of The Lives of Brian. That AC/DC's legendary front man got to do it all is one of the most cheering and entertaining stories in rock 'n'roll history. The son of a British army sergeant-major and Italian mother, Brian grew up in Dunston, Tyne and Wear, as it emerged from the shadow of the Second World War. Then he saw Little Richard on the BBC and it changed the course of his life. The choirboy and cub scout was going to be singer. For over a decade he tried to make his mark with a succession of bands. He appeared on to Top of the Pops, toured Australia and yet the big time looked out of reach. Then he was invited to London for an audition for one of the world's biggest rock acts. AC/DC were a band in crisis following the tragic death of their lead singer, Bon Scott, but with Brian on board they would record their masterpiece: Back in Black. It became the biggest selling rock album of all time. The tour that followed played to packed out arenas. Quickly embraced by the band's fans, the new boy had earned his spurs. But there was to be a twist in the tale. In 2016, Brian was forced to quit the band after being diagnosed with hearing loss, only to make a triumphant return to the band he loved with the release of 2020's smash hit album Power Up. It's been a rollercoaster of a life, throughout which Brian's kept his feet firmly on the ground, never losing touch with his roots. Warm, vivid, evocative, life-affirming and often laugh-out-loud funny, The Lives of Brian tells the story of one of our most well-loved performers in his own inimitable words. © Brian Johnson 2021 (P) Penguin Audio 2021
