Format: Unabridged

Length: 26:26:23

Language: English

Release date: 07-16-19

Publisher: HarperAudio

Genres: Politics, Political Ideologies

Summary:

New York Times Bestseller

Not a conventional Trump-era book. It is less about the daily mayhem in the White House than about the unprecedented capitulation of a political party. This book will endure for helping us understand not what is happening but why it happened. [An] indispensable work.Washington Post

Politico Magazines chief political correspondent provides a rollicking insiders look at the making of the modern Republican Partyhow a decade of cultural upheaval, populist outrage, and ideological warfare made the GOP vulnerable to a hostile takeover from the unlikeliest of insurgents: Donald J. Trump.

As George W. Bush left office with record-low approval ratings and Barack Obama led a Democratic takeover of Washington, Republicans faced a moment of reckoning: they had no vision, no generation of new leaders, and no energy in the partys base. Yet Obamas progressive agenda, coupled with the nations rapidly changing cultural identity, lit a fire under the right. Republicans regained power in Congress but spent that time fighting among themselves. With these struggles weakening the partys defenses, and with more and more Americans losing faith in the political class, the stage was set for an outsider to crash the party. When Trump descended a gilded escalator to launch his campaign in the summer of 2015, the candidate had met the moment. Only by viewing Trump as the culmination of a decade-long civil war inside the GOP can we appreciate how he won the White House and consider the fundamental questions at the center of Americas current turmoil.

Loaded with explosive original reporting and based on hundreds of exclusive interviewsincluding with key players such as President Trump, Paul Ryan, Ted Cruz, John Boehner, and Mitch McConnellAmerican Carnage takes us behind the scenes of this tumultuous period and establishes Tim Alberta as the premier chronicler of a political era.

Title: Growing Things and Other Stories

Author: Paul Tremblay

Narrator: Caitlin Kelly, Cassandra Campbell, Graham Halstead, Michael Crouch, Sarah Naughton, Sean Crisden

Format: Unabridged

Length: 12:01:01

Language: English

Release date: 07-02-19

Publisher: HarperAudio

Genres: Science Fiction & Fantasy, Fiction & Literature, Mystery, Thriller & Horror, Short Stories, Paranormal

Summary:

A chilling collection of psychological suspense and literary horror from the multiple award-winning author of the national bestseller The Cabin at the End of the World and A Head Full of Ghosts.

A masterful anthology featuring nineteen pieces of short fiction, Growing Things and Other Stories is an exciting glimpse into Paul Tremblays fantastically fertile imagination.

In The Teacher, a Bram Stoker Award nominee for best short story, a student is forced to watch a disturbing video that will haunt and torment her and her classmates lives.

Four men rob a pawn shop at gunpoint only to vanish, one-by-one, as they speed away from the crime scene in The Getaway.

In Swim Wants to Know If Its as Bad as Swim Thinks, a meth addict kidnaps her daughter from her estranged mother as their town is terrorized by a giant monster . . . or not.

Joining these haunting works are stories linked to Tremblays previous novels. The tour de force metafictional novella Notes from the Dog Walkers deconstructs horror and publishing, possibly bringing in a character from A Head Full of Ghosts, all while serving as a prequel to Disappearance at Devils Rock. The Thirteenth Temple follows another character from A Head Full of GhostsMerry, who has published a tell-all memoir written years after the events of the novel. And the title story, Growing Things, a shivery tale loosely shared between the sisters in A Head Full of Ghosts, is told here in full.

From global catastrophe to the demons inside our heads, Tremblay illuminates our primal fears and darkest dreams in startlingly original fiction that leaves us unmoored. As he lowers the sky and yanks the ground from beneath our feet, we are compelled to contemplate the darkness inside our own hearts and minds.

Title: Never Play Dead: How the Truth Makes You Unstoppable

Author: Tomi Lahren

Narrator: Tomi Lahren

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5:01:23

Language: English

Release date: 07-02-19

Publisher: HarperAudio

Genres: Politics, Current Affairs, Political Advocacy, Political Ideologies

Summary:

The Fox Nation host, Fox News contributor, and social media master argues that its time to square your shoulders, stand your ground and speak the truth.

The conventional wisdom is that we need more civility and fewer arguments. If you have a controversial option, keep it to yourself. Tomi Lahren could not disagree more. Its a trick. The same people whining about tone will call you names and applaud those who threaten you. We dont need safe spaces, and you shouldnt be patient and wait out the bullying. In Never Play Dead, Lahren encourages all Americans, especially women, to find their voice and speak out. She skewers the hypocrisy of the self-esteem movement that has made people afraid to stand up for themselves.

Wherever Lahren goes, the # 1 question she gets isnt about politics. Its about her confidence in herself, her beliefs and who she is. Never Play Dead not only answers this question but helps you learn how to stand your ground, discover how resilient you are and find your fearless side. In this book, she offers the antidote to all that: worry less about who might offend, and focus on who you might inspire. In the long-run, you will never regret being forceful when the truth is on your side.

Lahren worked her way out of South Dakota to television fame in LA, surviving social isolation, a truly terrible boyfriend, awful workplaces, and getting fired in front of a million haters. Along the way, she was tempted to keep quiet, but she never did. Now she calls out the comment trolls, the political correctness police, the terminally jealous, and the ever-escalation victim culture that tells you all your failures are because of the system (and therefore theres nothing you can do about it). Whether youve been told youre not good enough by parents, lovers, frenemies, bad bosses, or social media, its time to take Lahrens advice and fight back.

Its better to lose friends and followers than to lose yourself. The truth is, you may find more people who agree with you than you think. Its time to shed your fear. With Never Play Dead she inspires you to stand upand shows you how.

A big think, conversation-changing book, full of practical advice, about how women can learn to claim the power of their voices in the workplace and at home, and what needs to change so they can finally be heard.

Written with a warm and engaging tone, brimming with practical advice and accessible stories, Outspoken is a substantive yet entertaining analysis of why most malesand many femalesdont grant women the power to speak. Most importantly, it includes solutions for change. Positive, confident and supportive, this welcome and much need guide will help reshape the world and make it better for womenand for everyone.

Title: Confirmation Bias: Inside Washington's War Over the Supreme Court, from Scalia's Death to Justice Kavanaugh

Author: Carl Hulse

Narrator: Fred Sanders

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10:16:52

Language: English

Release date: 06-25-19

Publisher: HarperAudio

Genres: History, North America, American Politics

Summary:

The Chief Washington Correspondent for the New York Times presents a richly detailed, news-breaking, and conversation-changing look at the unprecedented political fight to fill the Supreme Court seat made vacant by Antonin Scalias deathusing it to explain the paralyzing and all but irreversible dysfunction across all three branches in the nations capital.

The embodiment of American conservative thought and jurisprudence, Antonin Scalia cast an expansive shadow over the Supreme Court for three decades. His unexpected death in February 2016 created a vacancy that precipitated a pitched political fight. That battle would not only change the tilt of the court, but the course of American history. It would help decide a presidential election, fundamentally alter longstanding protocols of the United States Senate, and transform the Supreme Courtwhich has long held itself as a neutral arbiter above politicsinto another branch of the federal government riven by partisanship. In an unprecedented move, the Republican-controlled Senate, led by majority leader, Mitch McConnell, refused to give Democratic President Barack Obamas nominee, Merrick Garland, a confirmation hearing. Not one Republican in the Senate would meet with him. Scalias seat would be held open until Donald Trumps nominee, Neil M. Gorsuch, was confirmed in April 2017.

Carl Hulse has spent more than thirty years covering the machinations of the beltway. In Confirmation Bias he tells the story of this history-making battle to control the Supreme Court through exclusive interviews with McConnell, Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer, and other top officials, Trump campaign operatives, court activists, and legal scholars, as well as never-before-reported details and developments.

Richly textured and deeply informative, Confirmation Bias provides much-needed context, revisiting the judicial wars of the past two decades to show how those conflicts have led to our current polarization. He examines the politicization of the federal bench and the implications for public confidence in the courts, and takes us behind the scenes to explore how many long-held democratic norms and entrenched, bipartisan procedures have been erased across all three branches of government.
