One hot August night in 1993, a young couple go to a party. When their car breaks down, they are picked up by a truck driver who attacks the man and abducts the woman. She is never seen again. That woman was Fiona Green’s mother. When the trucker, Eddie Ward, is caught, a mass grave of bodies is discovered in his backyard but Fiona’s mother isn’t there. Thirty years later, on his prison deathbed, Ward insists that he didn’t kill her, so Fiona finds herself back in the small town where her mother disappeared. Fighting demons of her own, she’s shocked when history repeats itself: another woman, another roadside breakdown, and another disappearance. Only this time the primary suspect is Jason Ward, Eddie’s son. Desperate, Fiona hunts down answers, unaware that she is being drawn into a dangerous trap. With Jennifer Fawcett’s signature “suspenseful and immersive” (Library Journal) prose, Keep This for Me is a fresh, spellbinding exploration of what we unwillingly inherit from our parents and how one random act can send ripples years into the future. | |||
| Gertrude Stein: An Afterlife - Francesca Wade | 07 Oct 2025 | 12:26:47 | |
Listen to this audiobook in full for free on https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: Gertrude Stein: An Afterlife Author: Francesca Wade Narrator: Francesca Wade Format: Unabridged Length: 12:26:47 Language: English Release date: 10-07-2025 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Genres: Biography & Memoir, Literary, General, Women, LGBTQ+ Summary: Drawing on never-before-seen interviews, a richly researched, sweeping examination of one of the most influential and mythologized literary figures of the 20th century and her partner’s emergence from the shadows after her death, in the decades-long fight to ensure her legacy. Gertrude Stein’s salon at 27 rue de Fleurus in the 6th arrondissement of Paris is the stuff of literary legend. Many have tried to capture the spirit and glamour of the place that once entertained and fostered the likes of Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, Pablo Picasso, and Henri Matisse, but perhaps none as determinedly, and self-consciously, as Stein herself. In this new biography of the polarizing, trailblazing author, collector, salonnière, and tastemaker, Francesca Wade rescues Stein from the tangle of contradictions that has characterized her legacy, expertly presenting us with this towering literary figure as we’ve never seen her before. A genius to her admirers, a charlatan to her detractors, Stein achieved international celebrity in 1933 with her bestselling memoir, The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas, written in the voice of her devoted partner—a triumph which, ironically, only drew attention away from the avant-garde poetry she called her “real” writing. After Stein’s death in 1946, Alice B. Toklas made it her mission to shepherd all of Stein’s unpublished writing into print, all the while negotiating her own fraught role in the complex mythology they had built together. The biographers who flocked to Stein’s newly opened archive found a surprising trove of secrets which would change Stein’s image forever: a forgotten novel, a cache of love letters, and a series of notebooks which shed entirely new light on her early years in Paris. Pushing beyond the conventions of literary biography, Gertrude Stein: An Afterlife is a bold, innovative examination of the nature of legacy and memory itself, in which Wade uncovers the origins of Stein’s radical writing and reveals new depths to the storied relationship that made it possible. A captivating, brilliant work of biography, Gertrude Stein: An Afterlife is a groundbreaking examination of a true literary giant. | |||
| It Girl: The Life and Legacy of Jane Birkin - Marisa Meltzer | 07 Oct 2025 | 06:58:44 | |
Listen to this audiobook in full for free on https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: It Girl: The Life and Legacy of Jane Birkin Author: Marisa Meltzer Narrator: Elisabeth Lagelee Format: Unabridged Length: 6:58:44 Language: English Release date: 10-07-2025 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Genres: Biography & Memoir, Non-Fiction, Arts & Entertainment, Social Science Summary: The first comprehensive biography of Jane Birkin—actress, singer, and legendary style icon—and her profound cultural impact, from the “acerbic, culturally astute, and genuine” (The New York Times) author of the instant New York Times bestseller Glossy. Jane Birkin was synonymous with chic. Her effortless style and artistic legacy have been immortalized through her music and film career. And, of course, she was the inspiration behind one of the world’s most coveted bags, the Hermès Birkin. But who was the real woman behind the it girl? Now, New York Times bestselling author Marisa Meltzer sheds new light on Birkin’s enigmatic life and explores her profound influence on generations in a rigorously reported biography unlike any other. It Girl paints a vivid portrait of Birkin and her profound legacy, from her early years in 1960s London to her rise as a beloved celebrity in France, detailing personal challenges, her relationships with creative powerhouses, and the duality of her public and private selves. Based on interviews and deep archival research, Meltzer reveals the nuances of Birkin’s character: her famously tempestuous romantic relationships, life with her three famous daughters, and the creative energy that drove her. It Girl tells the story of her indelible impact on femininity and style, and how what we think of as French girl style grew from her. Far from being just a muse, Birkin is at last given her well-deserved due. | |||

In The Thing About Falling, she writes about that experience as well as what followed—a period of shallow comfort, followed by a much deeper transformation. Organized in sections that follow the author from heartbreak to rebound to new love, the poetry that flows is an honest, witty, and effortlessly charming account of one woman’s journey back to herself. For the teenage reader facing their first heartbreak or the thirty-something looking for the strength to risk love again, The Thing About Falling is a heartfelt reminder that, love is always worth the fall. | |||

| Why Q Needs U: A history of our letters and how we use them - Danny Bate | 02 Oct 2025 | 10:14:57 | |
Listen to this audiobook in full for free on https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: Why Q Needs U: A history of our letters and how we use them Author: Danny Bate Narrator: Danny Bate Format: Unabridged Length: 10:14:57 Language: English Release date: 10-02-2025 Publisher: Bonnier Publishing Audio Genres: Language Instruction, Language Arts Summary: Every single one of the letters you're reading right now can tell a fascinating story, having been on a long linguistic, historical, political and social journey to reach this very page. The English alphabet is a tool that we've inherited down the centuries from ancient creators around the world. The alphabet hasn't always had its present form, but rather has undergone all sorts of changes and evolutions to suit the needs of the time. Did you know that five English letters come from a single graphic grandparent? Or that we may know the specific person who invented the letter G? Do you know why Z is the sixth letter for the Greeks, yet the last for us? Or why Q needs to be followed by U? Why Q Needs You takes readers on a journey through the English alphabet, not just to share fun facts, but to reveal the alphabet's hidden mechanisms and inspire a newfound sense of wonder in this ancient tool. It will not only leave the reader amazed by the letters they use every day but equipped to spot connections in languages across the world. It also aims to explain and defend the peculiar way English today uses these ancient symbols. Why does a silent final E turn hop into hope? Why are the Cs in circus pronounced differently? And why is there an L in salmon and a K in know? Each chapter in Why Q Needs U is a self-contained adventure into history, etymology, politics and more, but will also contribute to a general appreciation for how our alphabet developed, how it has changed, and how it fits into a wider world of writing. | |||
| U.S. Marines at the Battle for Sangin: Operation Enduring Freedom - Landon Longgrear | 02 Oct 2025 | 07:35:32 | |
Listen to this audiobook in full for free on https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: U.S. Marines at the Battle for Sangin: Operation Enduring Freedom Author: Landon Longgrear Narrator: Landon Longgrear, Nathan Osgood Format: Unabridged Length: 7:35:32 Language: English Release date: 10-02-2025 Publisher: Bonnier Publishing Audio Genres: History, Biography & Memoir, Military Summary: U.S. Marines at the Battle for Sangin is a battle-intensive and deeply personal war memoir following a small Marine infantry detachment who arrive in Afghanistan with acts of killing beginning immediately. Not a week goes by before the Marines experience the deaths of friendly forces, Marine casualties, enemy combatants killed, numerous IED strikes, air strikes, predator drone strikes and around the clock patrolling in hostile territory where death is ever present. As a regional direct response Quick Reaction Force in the northern Sangin river valley of Helmand Province, the Marines are immediately put to the test narrowly avoiding one calamity after the next. The reader feels the author's angst, threat awareness and a growing sense of hostility toward his elusive enemy. Combat operations greatly intensify as the Marines find their battlefield rhythm. Body counts rise and so does the emotional toll on the author. The reader is regularly taken into the author's exhilarations from persevering through intense battle scenes but also submerged with him in the turmoil that results from the deliberate harm that he and his fellow Marines inflict on their enemy. There is a sober realization of the unavoidable dichotomy of war and the inner wounds that result from one's participation in its cruelty, whether the recipient or doer of war's violent actions. This untold story personalizes the broader themes of America's war in Afghanistan through the brutal experiences of a small Marine unit who volunteered to fight it. | |||
| Hen Party: A Celebration - Arthur Parkinson | 02 Oct 2025 | 02:37:29 | |
Listen to this audiobook in full for free on https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: Hen Party: A Celebration Author: Arthur Parkinson Narrator: Arthur Parkinson Format: Unabridged Length: 2:37:29 Language: English Release date: 10-02-2025 Publisher: PGRH UK Genres: Non-Fiction, Science & Technology, Animals & Nature, Home & Garden Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. It is my hope that this book will help you discover, or reconfirm, which chicken breeds are your favourites and encourage you to keep them yourself, or at least to remember them. Spotlighting more than fifty breeds of chicken, from the classy Ancona to the lavishly laced Wyandotte, Arthur Parkinson shares everything you need to know about each breed’s attributes, behaviour, quirks and qualities alongside gorgeous illustrations of his ‘ladies’. Later in the book he offers detailed advice that will equip you with the practical skills to look after hens in your own garden, whether the most common breeds or the most perilously rare – for as Arthur notes, if we don’t celebrate all hens great and small, the lesser-known varieties may well disappear. Joyful and inspiring, Hen Party is a riotous, clucking poultry show of a book for anyone dreaming of the good life. © Arthur Parkinson 2025 (P) Penguin Audio 2025 | |||

The shop is thriving after a much-needed expansion, Anne is leading the city's witches as Chicago's Diviner, Beatrix is being swept away on tour across the country, and Violet has found her place with her feet swinging through the air. That is, until the Quigley sisters find themselves stumbling on the paths they have chosen, and they are drawn back home in search of refuge in each other's company. As Anne struggles to balance her responsibilities, Beatrix fears she has lost her gift for storytelling, and Violet is shaken after an accident at the circus, the future the sisters had drawn for themselves feels murkier than ever. And, when the threads of fate begin to unravel, Anne must lean on her sisters and team up with a mysterious-and oddly infuriating-necromancer to save the city from an uncertain fate, while helping old friends find a happy end. With all three Quigleys back in the warm embrace of the Crescent Moon, they set out to bargain with Fate once more. But will the sisters find the courage to embrace who they have become while returning to the best of what they left behind? | |||
| I Was Never Here: My True Canadian Spy Story of Coffees, Code Names, and Covert Operations in the Age of Terrorism - Andrew Kirsch | 30 Sep 2025 | 07:45:58 | |
Listen to this audiobook in full for free on https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: I Was Never Here: My True Canadian Spy Story of Coffees, Code Names, and Covert Operations in the Age of Terrorism Author: Andrew Kirsch Narrator: Andrew Kirsch Format: Unabridged Length: 7:45:58 Language: English Release date: 09-30-2025 Publisher: Macmillan Audio Genres: Biography & Memoir, Non-Fiction, True Crime, Mystery, Thriller & Horror Summary: An ex-spy lifts the lid on life in the secret service A Globe and Mail and Toronto Star bestseller! Andrew Kirsch didn’t grow up watching spy movies, or dreaming about being a real-life James Bond. He was hardly aware that Canada even had its own intelligence service—let alone knew what its officers did. But when a terrorist attack occurred near the office of his financial services job, all of a sudden fighting terrorism meant a lot more to him than the markets. Within 18 months he had landed a job with the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS)—where he spent the next decade of his life. In I Was Never Here, Kirsch (now an in-demand security consultant) spills the secrets of what life as an intelligence officer is really like, and dispels a few myths along the way. With humour, honesty, and candour, Kirsch shares his on-the-ground experience (or as much of it as he’s allowed to) of becoming a member of CSIS: from his vetting and training, to his initial desk job as a policy analyst, to his rise up the ranks to leading covert special operations missions. If you’ve ever wondered whether spies can have real dating lives, how they handle family responsibilities, or how they come up with cover stories or aliases, you’re in luck. From the time he tried to get the code names “Burgundy” and “Anchorman” assigned to human sources (with no luck), to the night a covert operation was almost thwarted by a flyer delivery man, Kirsch takes you behind the scenes with an authentic view of Canada’s spy agency, and the intricate intelligence-sharing apparatus that works day and night to keep us safe. I Was Never Here is also a testament to one man’s drive to serve his country, and the sacrifices, big and small, that he made along the way. | |||
| Starting a StartUp: Build Something People Want - James Sinclair | 30 Sep 2025 | 06:46:43 | |

Not you. If you are actually considering learning what it takes to win instead of falling for the 'if we build it they will come' myth, you are already ahead of the game. Startup success boils down to one truth. Fastest team to learn, wins. Not the smartest, not the cleverest, not the richest. Just the team that learns, iterates, and executes faster than everyone else. Starting a Startup isn’t a feel-good startup manifesto; it’s a battle-tested framework built for founders who want results (and are willing to do the hard work). With two decades of experience founding successful startups with multi-million dollar exits and mentoring hundreds of entrepreneurs, James Sinclair has developed a methodical, practical, step-by-step guide to winning in the real world. No theory. No fluff. No excuses. Before you write a single line of code, hire an engineer, or spend a dollar on development, you'll learn how to validate your idea, deeply understand your market, and build something people actually want and will pay for. Because distribution beats product every time, and customer trust isn't given—it's earned, one strategic step at a time. This is your guide that takes you from zero to paying customers without wasting time, money, or sanity. Real, actionable insights to avoid the costly mistakes that sink most first-time founders. Startups aren't about ideas. They're about execution. This book will show you how to execute like your future depends on it. Because it does. | |||
| Ring of Salt: A Memoir of Finding Home and Hope on the Wild Coast of Ireland - Betsy Cornwell | 30 Sep 2025 | 10:08:51 | |
Listen to this audiobook in full for free on https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: Ring of Salt: A Memoir of Finding Home and Hope on the Wild Coast of Ireland Author: Betsy Cornwell Narrator: Betsy Cornwell Format: Unabridged Length: 10:08:51 Language: English Release date: 09-30-2025 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Genres: Biography & Memoir, Health & Wellness, Parenting, Women Summary: Maid meets Under the Tuscan Sun in this inspiring and lyrical memoir about a writer and mother who flees an abusive marriage and must learn to reclaim the story of her life through a search for home on Ireland’s wild, western coast. At twenty-four, Betsy Cornwell runs away to Ireland for a fresh start. Leaving behind a painful past, she chases her dream of becoming a novelist to the misty shores of the Aran Islands. There she meets a handsome and charming horse trainer, and her life takes on the glow of a fairy tale when they elope to Gretna Green. Five years later, her happy ending has twisted into a nightmare. Betsy is trapped in an abusive marriage, isolated and afraid with a newborn baby. On her son’s first birthday, she must flee home again, this time turning to the women around her—her local survivor support group, a trusted family friend, and an online Smith College alumnae network—for help she’d never known she could ask for. After a brush with homelessness, she struggles to scrape together a living for herself and her son. On sleepless nights, she scrolls through real estate listings that might as well be castles in the air, and starts to foster an impossible dream: What if she could use her writing to buy a home, one that no one could take away from her and her baby? One that might become a haven, not just for her family, but other single parent artists and writers, too? When she discovers a historic knitting factory and former cinema on Ireland’s rugged Connemara coastline, left empty and crumbling for years, that precarious dream becomes her lifeline. Over the next two years she works to crowdfund the old knitting factory’s purchase by sharing its story and her own, in candid posts that range from the unexpectedly steep learning curves she encounters with home renovations and internet dating, to her heartbreaking fight to keep custody of her son, with her growing online community. But as the deadline to buy nears, she realizes she will have to reckon with everything she believes about family, survival, and what happily-ever-after truly means for her dream to have any chance of coming true. Ring of Salt combines a powerful and relatable narrative of survivorship and healing with lush writing about the windswept landscapes and rich mythology of rural Ireland to craft a real-world fairy tale about the ordinary, but no less life-changing, forms of magic we can all access: vulnerability, community, and the power of telling your own story. | |||

| Glass Mountain: Escape and Discovery in Wartime Italy - Malcolm Gaskill | 25 Sep 2025 | 10:53:55 | |
Listen to this audiobook in full for free on https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: Glass Mountain: Escape and Discovery in Wartime Italy Author: Malcolm Gaskill Narrator: Malcolm Gaskill Format: Unabridged Length: 10:53:55 Language: English Release date: 09-25-2025 Publisher: PGRH UK Genres: Biography & Memoir, Health & Wellness, Marriage & Family, Military, History & Culture Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. The author of The Ruin of All Witches returns with a gripping, vividly told journey of rediscovery, uncovering his uncle’s past as a soldier, prisoner, fugitive and partisan in World War Two Italy Malcolm Gaskill knew two things about his great-uncle Ralph’s wartime adventures: he’d been a prisoner in Italy, and he’d cut his way out of a train with a knife and fork. Apart from that, he’d faded into family folklore, lost to view. Until, one hot afternoon in an English country garden, a chance conversation set him off on his uncle’s trail… What Ralph really did in the war was, he discovers, even more extraordinary than the exaggerations of family myth. From last-ditch fighting in the Libyan desert and incarceration in a Puglian prisoner-of-war camp, to desperate, dramatic escapes and the assuming of an entirely new identity among the peasants and partisans of the Italian alps, Gaskill traces a life transformed by conflict, while lifting the curtain on a long-forgotten episode of the Second World War. Yet The Glass Mountain is about more than war: it’s a haunting exploration of what it means to encounter the past, and how we remember, forget and recover it. As he follows his uncle’s path through dusty archives and the landscapes, towns and villages of present-day Italy, Gaskill finds himself confronted by questions that go to the heart of how we think about the people who came before us: Why do stories matter? How much of the past can ever be true? © Malcolm Gaskill 2025 (P) Penguin Audio 2025 | |||

'It gently healed my soul' 'Simply beautiful' 'A perfect warm blanket to warm every book lover's heart' 'A gem of a novel that will resonate with anyone who has ever found solace in the pages of a book' From the author of the Morisaki Bookshop novels comes a charming and poignant story set at a quiet Tokyo café where customers find unexpected connection and experience everyday miracles. Tucked away on a narrow side street in Tokyo is the Torunka Café, a neighbourhood nook where the passersby are as likely to be local cats as tourists. Its regulars include Chinatsu Yukimura, a mysterious young woman who always leaves behind a napkin folded into the shape of a ballerina; Hiroyuki Numata, a middle-aged man who's returned to the neighbourhood searching for the happy life he once gave up; and Shizuku, the café owner's teenage daughter, who is still coming to terms with her sister's death as she falls in love for the first time.

You think it will be smooth and find its way around your things: your houses and cars and furniture, your gardens and windows and hope. But water can be the foot of an elephant, the horns of a moose, a herd of buffalo running from a lion, water can be the kauri falling in the forest, a two-tonne truck, a whole stadium filled with 50,000 people, screaming . . . Water is life, and water can be death.' Three women give birth in different countries and different decades. In the near future, they become neighbours in a coastal town in Aotearoa, New Zealand. Single parent Keri has her hands full with four-year-old Walty and teen Wairere, a strange and gifted child who is drawn to the waters of the indigenous wetlands. New to the street is Sera and her family, who are refugees from ecological devastation in Europe and living next door is Janet, an older white woman with an opinion about everything. When Janet's adult son Conor unexpectedly arrives home sporting a fresh buzzcut and a disturbing tattoo, no one suspects just how extreme the young man has become - no one except Wairere who can feel both the danger, and the swamp beneath their street, watching and waiting.

Listen to this audiobook in full for free on https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: Women Who Ruled the World: 5000 Years of Female Monarchy Author: Elizabeth Norton Narrator: Elizabeth Norton Format: Unabridged Length: 10:32:25 Language: English Release date: 09-25-2025 Publisher: Bonnier Publishing Audio Genres: History, Non-Fiction, World, Social Science Summary: 'A breath-taking history of female sovereignty' -- Alison Weir 'Gripping and beautifully crafted' -- Tracy Borman 'Filled with fascinating figures from history' - Gareth Russell These are the stories of the female kings: women who risked everything, sometimes unwillingly, to find their place in a man's world. Female kings have always been a rarity, an oddity, or an undesirable outcome. In almost all places throughout the world a male ruler was preferred to a woman, with female inheritance vanishingly rare and frequently disputed. In spite of this, women have secured crowns - or fought for them - over several millennia. From the lush oases of Ancient Egypt to the cherry blossomed lands of Japan, the machinations of the Tudor court to the far reaches of Pacific Island kingdoms, Women Who Ruled the World is an expansive and comprehensive history of female royal power. Covering five millennia of global history, renowned historian Elizabeth Norton weaves together the stories of women rulers throughout the ages. Establishing beloved and already celebrated figures amongst those who have been left in the margins of history, Norton peels away the layers of time, geography and culture to reveal what it was to be a woman who ruled. | |||

He sees Annie's potential and takes her under his wing and into his trade. As Maggie crumbles beneath the weight of her sorrow, Annie is determined to hold the fractured family together - and carve out a place of her own.

The Rag Princess is an emotional tale of resilience, heartbreak and the power of family and the first book in the brand-new Rags to Riches Trilogy from bestselling author, Rosie Goodwin. | |||

| Dangerous Miracle: The Astonishing Rise and Looming Disaster of Antibiotics - Liam Shaw | 23 Sep 2025 | 09:32:57 | |
Listen to this audiobook in full for free on https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: Dangerous Miracle: The Astonishing Rise and Looming Disaster of Antibiotics Author: Liam Shaw Narrator: Liam Shaw Format: Unabridged Length: 9:32:57 Language: English Release date: 09-23-2025 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Genres: Science & Technology, Biology & Chemistry Summary: Oxford University biologist Liam Shaw tells the fascinating history of antibiotics—and how we burned through them. The discovery of antibiotics was one of humanity’s greatest achievements. Since their advent less than a century ago, antibiotics have saved millions of lives, marking one of the greatest medical advances in our history. But much like oil in the previous century, they were not invented but discovered—the most effective antibiotics were found in nature, made by microbes. Antibiotics have been a cheap everlasting fuel that has powered modern medicine, but at a cost. For antibiotics aren’t like other drugs. Every time we used them, we increased the possibility of antibiotic resistance emerging. Every time we used them, we were risking their future effectiveness. Even if it didn’t seem like it, there was only ever a finite supply. Antibiotics are the fossil fuels of medicine: they are “fossil drugs.” How did we get here? In order to understand the future of antibiotics, we need to understand their past. Dangerous Miracle tells the story of antibiotics: weaving the grand arc of their evolution over millions of years with a history of the past century. Antibiotic resistance shows how easily bacteria have been able to undo human progress. If we want antibiotics to have a future, we need to prepare to adapt accordingly. And fast. Dangerous Miracle is a revelatory account of the miraculous history and uncertain future of antibiotics from a young and gifted Oxford biologist. | |||

We Love You, Bunny feels like Han Kang’s The Vegetarian meets…Heathers.” —People The highly anticipated follow up to the viral sensation Bunny, a brilliantly written, laugh-out-loud funny, dark, and delirious novel set in the Bunny-verse—a world that Margaret Atwood declared “soooo genius.” In the cult classic novel Bunny, Samantha Heather Mackey, a lonely outsider student at a highly selective MFA program in New England, was first ostracized and then seduced by a clique of creepy-sweet rich girls who call themselves “Bunny.” An invitation to the Bunnies’ Smut Salon leads Samantha down a dark rabbit hole (pun intended) into the violently surreal world of their off-campus workshops where monstrous creations are conjured with deadly and wondrous consequences. When We Love You, Bunny opens, Sam has just published her first novel to critical acclaim. But at a New England stop on her book tour, her one-time frenemies, furious at the way they’ve been portrayed, kidnap her. Now a captive audience, it’s her (and our) turn to hear the Bunnies’ side of the story. One by one, they take turns holding the axe, and recount the birth throes of their unholy alliance, their discovery of their unusual creative powers—and the phantasmagoric adventure of conjuring their first creation. With a bound and gagged Sam, we embark on a wickedly intoxicating journey into the heart of dark academia: a fairy tale slasher that explores the wonder and horror of creation itself. Not to mention the transformative powers of love and friendship, Bunny. Frankenstein by way of Heathers, We Love You, Bunny is both a prequel and a sequel, and an unabashedly wild and totally complete stand-alone novel. Open your hearts, Bunny, to another dazzlingly original and darkly hilarious romp in the Bunny-verse from the queen of the fever-dream, Mona Awad. | |||

Tembi Locke has always been obsessed with family—making them, keeping them, thriving within them. As a child of divorce, a mother through adoption, a widow by cancer and now remarried to form a blended family, she is deeply familiar with change and upheaval. But in the summer of 2023, she felt overwhelmed and uneasy by another major shift: her only child, Zoela, was about to move across the country for college. Tembi needed to be in a place with the power to connect her to the past and prepare her for the future. So, she rented a house by the sea and booked flights to Sicily. Someday, Now chronicles a sun-drenched summer adventure, as Tembi searches for meaning in places as vast and awe-inspiring as the Tyrrhenian Sea and the mythological home of Persephone and Demeter to those as quiet and personal as her late mother-in-law’s kitchen table. The island is rife with nostalgia and memories for her and Zoela, who grew up visiting her late father’s family in the Sicilian countryside. And when Tembi’s new husband Robert joins them a few days into their trip, she leans into the complicated feelings brought on by this experiment in blending family and reclaiming possibility in middle age. Combining her own emotional narration with recordings from her time exploring the beautiful island, Tembi invites the listener to journey alongside her in this one-of-a-kind audio experience. Someday, Now is a perfect next listen for fans of From Scratch (now a Netflix series starring Zoe Saldaña), but stands on its own as a captivating and transformative family story and a celebration of love’s ability to reshape us in every season of life. | |||

You matter more. You know you make a difference. Your talent and expertise come together in your work to make an important contribution to the world. But your dedication shouldn’t mean sacrificing all the other parts of yourself. Inspired by principles from Montessori classrooms, educator and researcher Dr. Katie Keller Wood offers an alternative approach to thinking about your work and life—one that embraces you as a whole person rather than splitting you in two. Drawing on decades of experience teaching Montessori students and adults, Keller Wood rejects the concept of work-life balance in favor of a more holistic alliance between you and your work. Your life is not a balancing act but a constantly evolving mosaic, and when the pieces are all aligned, thriving follows. There can be space enough for all the things that matter. With real-world examples, exercises, and activities, this transformative, research-informed book will help you catch the first signs of misalignment and then show you how to move through a realignment process, so that you can find joy and value in all parts of your life, including your meaningful work. It’s time to ditch the balancing act and get yourself into Alignment. | |||
| When Everyone Knows That Everyone Knows . . .: Common Knowledge and the Mysteries of Money, Power, and Everyday Life - Steven Pinker | 23 Sep 2025 | 09:01:33 | |
Listen to this audiobook in full for free on https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: When Everyone Knows That Everyone Knows . . .: Common Knowledge and the Mysteries of Money, Power, and Everyday Life Author: Steven Pinker Narrator: Fred Sanders Format: Unabridged Length: 9:01:33 Language: English Release date: 09-23-2025 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Genres: Non-Fiction, Psychology, Social Science, Philosophy Summary: From one of the world’s most celebrated intellectuals, a brilliantly insightful work that explains how we think about each other’s thoughts about each other’s thoughts, ad infinitum. It sounds impossible, but Steven Pinker shows that we do it all the time. This awareness, which we experience as something that is public or “out there,” is called common knowledge, and it has a momentous impact on our social, political, and economic lives. Common knowledge is necessary for coordination, for making arbitrary but complementary choices like driving on the right, using paper currency, and coalescing behind a political leader or movement. It’s also necessary for social coordination: everything from rendezvousing at a time and place to speaking the same language to forming enduring relationships of friendship, romance, or authority. Humans have a sixth sense for common knowledge, and we create it with signals like laughter, tears, blushing, eye contact, and blunt speech. But people also go to great lengths to avoid common knowledge—to ensure that even if everyone knows something, they can’t know that everyone else knows they know it. And so we get rituals like benign hypocrisy, veiled bribes and threats, sexual innuendo, and pretending not to see the elephant in the room. Pinker shows how the hidden logic of common knowledge can make sense of many of life’s enigmas: financial bubbles and crashes, revolutions that come out of nowhere, the posturing and pretense of diplomacy, the eruption of social media shaming mobs and academic cancel culture, the awkwardness of a first date. Artists and humorists have long mined the intrigues of common knowledge, and Pinker liberally uses their novels, jokes, cartoons, films, and sitcom dialogues to illuminate social life’s tragedies and comedies. Along the way he answers questions like: - Why do people hoard toilet paper at the first sign of an emergency? - Why are Super Bowl ads filled with ads for crypto? - Why, in American presidential primary voting, do citizens typically select the candidate they believe is preferred by others rather than their favorite? - Why did Russian authorities arrest a protester who carried a blank sign? - Why is it so hard for nervous lovers to say goodbye at the end of a phone call? - Why does everyone agree that if we were completely honest all the time, life would be unbearable? Consistently riveting in explaining the paradoxes of human behavior, When Everyone Knows That Everyone Knows… invites us to understand the ways we try to get into each other’s heads and the harmonies, hypocrisies, and outrages that result. | |||

As a cognitive scientist, the ultimate subject of Steven Pinker’s fascination is how we think about each other’s thoughts, ad infinitum.

He takes readers behind the scenes at NASA and the Pentagon as China's aggressive moon mining plans raise alarms, onto the sprawling Cape Canaveral factory where Blue Origin is working toward Amazon-style lunar deliveries, and onto SpaceX launch pads as Musk's engineers log 100-hour weeks - leaving veteran astronauts marvelling that they're now operating 'flying iPhones.' What will happen as human ambition outpaces governmental regulation? Which country will win the race back to the moon? Was Donald Trump's much-derided creation of the Space Force a surprising act of foresight, and will the US finally make a real push to the moon and eventually toward Mars? Masterfully paced, rigorously reported and vividly told, Rocket Dreams offers a riveting, fly-on-the-wall account of the grit-fuelled global battle to push humankind further into the cosmos -revealing that the science fiction dreams of the last century may soon become our reality. | |||

Perhaps it was curiosity or something more. But, as soon as he lands in England, he’s thrust into a crisis. One of the MI6 research applicants has vanished, and Jonas fears the worst. Then Wallace hears her name … Amy, an old friend of Terk’s, had been swept into peril without warning. Captured—with no clue as to where she was, why she was taken, or by whom—she manages to send a desperate message to Terk. Only when she connects with him mentally does her panic transform into steely determination. Whoever is behind this will pay. She wasn’t alone anymore. She has powerful allies. Allies who, even now, were racing to her aid, … she hoped. For Wallace, finding Amy becomes an urgent mission, and ensuring her safe return is a close second. But what seems like a straightforward rescue quickly spirals into a tangled web of danger and intrigue. Amid the chaos, an unexpected connection sparks between them again, adding a layer of complexity to their perilous journey, as the stakes become more personal than ever. | |||

| Geometry of Wealth: How to shape a life of money and meaning - Brian Portnoy | 11 Sep 2025 | 06:52:41 | |
Listen to this audiobook in full for free on https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: Geometry of Wealth: How to shape a life of money and meaning Author: Brian Portnoy Narrator: John Chancer Format: Unabridged Length: 6:52:41 Language: English Release date: 09-11-2025 Publisher: Harriman House Genres: Business & Economics, Personal Finance, Accounting & Finance Summary: Joint Gold medallist of the Axiom Business Book Award 2019 - Personal Finance/Retirement Planning/Investing How does money figure into a happy life? In The Geometry of Wealth, behavioral finance expert Brian Portnoy delivers an inspired answer, building on the critical distinction between being rich and being wealthy. While one is an unsatisfying treadmill, the other is the ability to underwrite a meaningful life, however one chooses to define that. Truly viewed, wealth is funded contentment. At the heart of this groundbreaking perspective, Portnoy takes readers on a journey toward wealth, informed by disciplines ranging from ancient history to modern neuroscience. He contends that tackling the big questions about a joyful life and tending to financial decisions are complementary, not separate, tasks. These big questions include: - How is the human brain wired for two distinct experiences of happiness? And why can money "buy" one but not the other? - What are the touchstones of a meaningful life, and are they affordable? - Why is market savvy among the least important sources of wealth but self-awareness is among the most? - How does one strike a balance between striving for more while being content with enough? This journey memorably contours along three basic shapes: A circle, triangle and square help us to visualize how we adapt to evolving circumstances, set clear priorities, and find empowerment in simplicity. In this accessible and entertaining book, Portnoy reveals that true wealth is achievable for many – including those who despair it is out of reach – but only in the context of a life in which purpose and practice are thoughtfully calibrated. | |||

As a ten-time Brazilian jiu jitsu World Champion and a former MMA World Champion, Roger Gracie is widely considered to be the greatest practitioner of Brazilian jiu jitsu of all time. His grandfather, the great Carlos Gracie, was the architect of modern day Brazilian jiu jitsu and for Roger, growing up in the famous Gracie family, every conversation seemed to be about fighting, Within this family of supermen, this self-contained, chubby kid promised little; in fact, nobody expected Roger to become the warrior he later did. But once he had made up his mind as a teenager to become the greatest, Roger's star was firmly aligned with his purpose. Over time, he gradually became unstoppable, both in his thirst for jiu jitsu knowledge and in his single-mindedness to strip back overly complex moves to their simplest most effective forms, just as his grandfather had done before him. In The Tao of the Champion, for the first time, Gracie shares lessons from a career of fighting at the highest level including: -'Learning to breathe', -'Controlling your emotions', -'Mastering your thinking', and ' -'Developing Quiet Inner Grace'. Going far beyond the mat, this hard won wisdom is applicable to everyone from any background and in any walk of life who longs to find strength, courage, health, and peace. | |||

Captured in his native West Africa and enslaved on American shores by a North Carolina plantation owner, Moses McKissack I began to build his way to emancipation right from the start. Becoming an enslaved craftsman, he picked up the trade his family would become famous for in the earliest years of the 19th century, passing his learnings down to his children and seeing them off to freedom after the Civil War. The family would settle in Tennessee, getting its bearings in the building trades despite rampant discrimination, establishing a foothold that now sees its latest generations working at the absolute peak of its industry.

Church, John F. Kennedy International Airport, and Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field. Here, Cheryl McKissack Daniel, CEO and president of McKissack & McKissack, reveals the full fascinating story of her family.

From Moses’s humble beginnings to Cheryl’s current role as a trailblazer and champion of diversity, the family’s journey underscores the importance of perseverance, innovation, and strategic vision in shaping a legacy that continues to inspire and impact the construction industry. | |||
