Title: Lewis Hamilton: Championship Year 2017

Author: The Times, The Sunday Times, Rebecca Clancy - editor

Narrator: Rupert Bush

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 15 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-30-17

Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Limited

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Celebrities

Publisher's Summary:

2017 marked a record-breaking year for Lewis Hamilton as he became only the fifth driver in history to win more than three World Championships, joining the motor racing greats. Through in-depth race reports and analysis from The Times writers Rebecca Clancy and Mark Hughes, this unauthorised account, edited by Clancy and available exclusively in audiobook, will relive that achievement.

The list of Hamilton's accolades is long and distinguished. The Englishman has finished on the podium in more than half of the grands prix he has contested, started on the front row more times than any other driver and is the only British quadruple world champion.

Such is the extent of his speed, ferocity and tactical skill on the track that the 1996 world champion Damon Hill has called him 'one of the greatest, most talented drivers' to compete in the sport.

Yet despite the countless awards and records, the 2017 season was full of challenges. From extreme weather conditions in Shanghai to opening lap mayhem in Singapore, there was little opportunity to take his foot off the pedal, especially with the constant threat of Sebastian Vettel, his keen Ferrari rival.

Over the course of the season, The Times and The Sunday Times have followed every race, team and driver competing on the Formula One circuit. With unparalleled expertise and access, this audiobook will give a unique insight into the season, analysing Hamilton's performance and celebrating his astonishing success.

Title: A Good Face for Radio

Subtitle: Confessions of a Radio Head

Author: Eddie Mair

Narrator: Eddie Mair

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 22 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-02-17

Publisher: Little, Brown Book Group

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Celebrities

Publisher's Summary:

Eddie Mair is, by his own account, one of Britain's most beloved broadcasters. Born in Dundee, Scotland, he has worked in radio all his adult life. From the foothills of commercial radio in his hometown, through the sunlit uplands of the BBC in Scotland, he has reached the peaks of his profession with BBC network radio in London. And he's never afraid to work a metaphor beyond endurance.

In addition, he's appeared on most of the BBC's TV channels, including ones that are no longer on TV. He witnessed the handover of Hong Kong and once asked Arnold Schwarzenegger a question - though he takes no responsibility for either. For nearly 20 years, he has been at the helm of Radio 4's PM: a nightly news round-up that means Eddie works for just one hour a day, giving him plenty time to knock together these diaries.

Whether he's interviewing politicians, getting people to share their personal experiences or just imparting his favourite zesty chicken recipes, Eddie is never happier than when he is at the microphone. Except when he is at the microphone with a large martini.

In truth, his neediness is an irritation to everyone who knows him and if you buy this book he might get out of their hair. Eddie's other work, as a humanitarian and tireless, secret worker for charity is not mentioned in this audiobook.

Title: Being David Archer

Subtitle: And Other Unusual Ways of Earning a Living

Author: Timothy Bentinck

Narrator: Timothy Bentinck

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 45 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-12-17

Publisher: Little, Brown Book Group

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Celebrities

Publisher's Summary:

Timothy Bentinck has played the part of David Archer in BBC Radio 4's The Archers since 1982. He is also the Earl of Portland and the voice of 'Mind the Gap' on the Piccadilly Line. Aimed primarily at the five million regular Archers listeners, Timothy takes the listener behind the scenes of the longest running drama series in the world, a British institution with a theme tune that Billy Connolly wants to be the National Anthem.

But that's not all. With wry, self-deprecating humour, Timothy recounts his enormously varied life - a successful actor in TV, film and theatre, he is a voice specialist working in every vocal medium. He's also been an HGV truck driver, a US tour guide, a computer programmer and website designer, an inventor with UK and US patents, a farm worker and a house renovator, and he even sat as a crossbencher in the House of Lords for three years. Unlike many acting memoirs, this isn't a succession of thespian tales of freezing digs, forgotten lines and name dropping. This is an articulate, funny and thoughtful account of how to survive an insecure life.

Title: The Elephants in My Backyard

Subtitle: A Memoir of Obsessively Pursuing a Dream, Overcoming Failure, and Finding Meaning in Life

Author: Rajiv Surendra

Narrator: Rajiv Surendra

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 35 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-26-17

Publisher: Penguin Random House Canada

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Celebrities

Publisher's Summary:

Rajiv Surendra (the rapping mathlete from Mean Girls) read Life of Pi, discovered it was being adapted into a major motion picture, and embarked on a 10-year journey to land the role of a lifetime - but this is not a journey of goals and victories; this is a story of obsessively pursuing a dream, overcoming failure, and finding meaning in life.

In 2003 Rajiv Surendra was acting in Mean Girls, playing the beloved rapping mathlete Kevin Gnapoor, when a cameraman on set gave him a copy of Life of Pi, inadvertently changing the course of his life.

Rajiv dove into the novel, mesmerized by all the similarities between Pi and himself - they are both five foot five with coffee-colored complexions; both share a South Indian culture; Pi lives in a zoo, and Rajiv grew up in Scarborough, Ontario, right beside the Toronto Zoo. When Rajiv learns that Life of Pi will be made into a major motion picture, he is convinced Pi is the role he is destined to play.

To land the role, he knows he must embody the spirit of the 16-year-old Tamil schoolboy. In a great leap of faith, he quits university and buys a one-way ticket to India. Thus begins his enchanting and bumpy years-long journey from Toronto to the sacred stone temples of South India and the actual private school in Pondicherry that the fictional Pi attended, to rural Maine, where Rajiv befriends a real-life castaway, and culminating in the most unexpected of places - the cobbled streets of Munich.

Poignant, funny, colorful, and absolutely unforgettable, The Elephants in My Backyard is an inspiring tale of taking risks and following one's dreams, of process and determination, and looking back on one's endeavors - be they successes or colossal defeats - with new appreciation and meaning.

Critic Reviews:

"[A] unique memoir.... [Surendra] brings alive [his experience] through richly detailed and evocative writing. Although he was ultimately unsuccessful at landing his dream role, Surendra, with a fresh voice and an engaging sense of humour, makes a strong case for embracing one's curiosity and passions to live life on one's own terms." (2017 Edna Staebler Award for Creative Nonfiction jury)

"[Rajiv's] is the story of everyone trying to find out who they are, and how to get there. It's a story that exemplifies, in some ways, Pi's story. He didn't get the role, but, in a sense, he lived the story." (Yann Martel, author of The High Mountains of Portugal and Life of Pi, The Globe and Mail)

Title: American Legends: The Life of Jack Dempsey

Author: Charles River Editors

Narrator: Mark Norman

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 1 min

Language: English

Release date: 07-10-17

Publisher: Charles River Editors

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Celebrities

Publisher's Summary:

A lot of ink has been spilled covering the lives of history's most influential figures, but how much of the forest is lost for the trees? In Charles River Editors' American Legends series, listeners can get caught up to speed on the lives of America's most important men and women in the time it takes to finish a commute, while learning interesting facts long forgotten or never known.

During a time when America's heroes were recognized for toughness and strength, Jack Dempsey was the prototypical "golden boy" of the Roaring Twenties. Just as Babe Ruth, Red Grange, Bill Tilden, and Bobby Jones were the signature figures for their respective sports, Dempsey personified the sport of boxing.

Dempsey's aggressive style in the ring and the punch he packed made him the heavyweight champion by 1913, and as he continued to hold the title into the 1920s, he became one of his era's biggest celebrities. Everyone wanted to see Dempsey box, and his bouts started shattering attendance records and purse records, but he was also a cultural icon and pop culture mainstay. His 1921 bout against Frenchman Georges Carpentier was the first event to be nationally broadcast over radio.

By the time Dempsey lost the title to US Marine Gene Tunney in 1926 and retired following their controversial 1927 rematch (a fight known as "The Long Count"), he was one of the most popular and richest athletes in history, and he parlayed that into success in everything from owning a restaurant to authoring books.

Language: English

Release date: 06-29-17

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Celebrities

Publisher's Summary:

Izzy Judd shares the story of her and her husband Harry's fertility journey in this honest and heartfelt memoir.

'All I ever wanted was to be a mum - I couldn't wait, and it felt as though my time was so close. But the months started to tick by, with each one ending in disappointment and frustration. And then the inevitable panic started to set in....'

Having been told by doctors that due to Izzy's polycystic ovarian syndrome they would have difficulty conceiving - and after two years of trying - Izzy and Harry turned to IVF. Izzy's aim drawing on her own experience is to break through some of the taboos surrounding miscarriage, IVF and fertility issues.

This brutally honest and deeply personal account will acknowledge the struggles that so many couples go through but will ultimately focus on the positive life-changing and remarkable results that IVF can yield.

One in seven couples in the UK has difficulty conceiving, and although many babies are now born through IVF, there is still a sense of awkwardness around the subject. Izzy hopes that this book will be a companion to those going through similar challenges to those she has experienced. As she herself says, 'No couple should have to go through it alone and in silence.'
