Woven in is a personal story of home life and strife, achievement and frustration, anxiety and accomplishment. The book's epilogue brings listeners up to the moment as the author, after many more years as an anonymous everyman, eventually enjoys outsize professional success as executive producer of the HBO hit series created by Mike White, The White Lotus.

Title: Drawn to the Garden: THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER Author: Caroline Quentin Narrator: Caroline Quentin Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 35 minutes Release date: February 13, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Narrated by Caroline Quentin Find solace in your outdoor space in this delightful horticultural journey with actress Caroline Quentin, as she draws on her life-long passion for gardening. Throughout this audio book, Caroline shows how much joy she gets from spending time in her garden, whether it be grappling with the best way to grow plants and vegetables, or raising seeds in her potting shed. Though she now has a large following on her Instagram account, @CQGardens, her attitude to gardening is the same as it has always been – expertise helps, but is not essential. Gardening should be fun and enjoyable, filled with the simple pleasures of planning, planting, harvesting, and cooking. It is also a meditative and restorative pastime, and a great way to lift your spirits. Written in a warm and engaging way that reflects her personality, Caroline tells stories of growing chillies from seed in her greenhouse, berating the thieving blackbirds in her fruit cage, and swimming in her pond singing to dragon flies and flag irises. Over the years, she has come to realize that gardening, just like life, is a series of happy accidents, unplanned successes, and baffling and frustrating failures. In this wonderful audio book, Caroline mixes personal stories from her life and experiences in the garden, with practical tips, recipes for food and drink, and even the occasional favorite poem. As she likes to misquote Dorothy Parker: ‘Take to horticulture, it’s cheaper than a shrink’.

The form has captivated audiences and excited performers for centuries, from the music of the troubadours and the Christian liturgy through classical composers such as Bach and Schumann up to Britten, Berio, and the rise of popular music.

Title: Adaptations of Dune Author: Kara Kennedy Narrator: Kara Kennedy Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 37 minutes Release date: January 28, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Considered by many to be unadaptable due to its length and complexity, Frank Herbert’s science fiction epic Dune has made it to the screen about every two decades. David Lynch was the first director to successfully make a film adaptation in 1984, but his version of Dune was heavily criticized for numerous reasons. John Harrison’s 2000 television miniseries Frank Herbert’s Dune was a success for the Sci-Fi Channel and won Emmys, yet has mostly been forgotten. Meanwhile, Denis Villeneuve’s 2021 film Dune: Part One won Oscars but only adapted the first two-thirds of the book, leaving viewers waiting for the conclusion. Each director expressed concern with staying faithful to the world’s bestselling science fiction book while attempting to bring to life its characters, settings, and story. But in the end, how faithful were they to Frank Herbert’s 1965 masterpiece? Adaptations of Dune: Frank Herbert’s Story on Screen dives into this topic by analyzing each screen adaptation and its degree of faithfulness to Herbert’s book. Collecting information from a wide range of sources, Kara Kennedy provides thorough background information and context for each adaptation before exploring such wide-ranging topics as the story, script, setting, costuming, characters, and more. Through this process, she uncovers the changes made during adaptation and reveals how faithful each screen adaptation is to its source material.
