Title: Mum Face: The Memoir of a Woman who Gained a Baby and Lost Her Sh*t

Author: Grace Timothy

Narrator: Grace Timothy

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7:48:00

Language: English

Release date: 02-22-18

Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers UK

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Health & Wellness, Parenting, General Comedy, Women

Summary:

In this wry, resonant and darkly funny memoir, journalist Grace Timothy explores a question most women will face at some point: if becoming a mother means the person you were before has gone; who exactly is left in its place?

Best described as The Wrong Knickers for mums, in Mum Face Grace explores motherhood as an issue of identity.

What begins as shock and then denial of how your life will change has to become acceptance when youre too big to walk/waddle/work; youre fully repurposed now; youre a mum, in everything you do, and everyone knows it. From the physical and emotional changes you encounter to the way your agenda and daily life is altered, your identity is constantly up for redefinition. As the friends and colleagues who shape and support your sense of self slip away, work dwindles as every hour becomes a moment you should be with your child, and your confidence is knocked by the constant feedback from everyone, you try and fit in everywhere old life, new life and dont fit anywhere. Its the identity crisis that no woman is immune to, belying the credo that being a mother is the most natural thing a girl could do.

Grace has experienced mum rage, mom jeans, mum-tum, mum-hair and had to put on her mum face to cope with it all. These are the truths of motherhood too uncomfortable to flow forth at your NCT meet-ups. From bad sex, messed-up friendships and irretrievable labia to questioning everything and everyone around you.

The hilarious book follows Graces journey from a young married woman at the top of her editorial game in London, to a thirty-something mum, confused as to how she can love someone as much as her daughter and yet feel lost as a person.

Compulsively readable, irresistibly written and incredibly well-observed, Grace Timothys searingly-honest account of motherhood is essential reading for every mum trying to find their way after the mother of all identity crises.

Length: 8:30:00

Language: English

Release date: 02-22-18

Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers UK

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Health & Wellness, Marriage & Family, Women

Summary:

The true story of 2 year-old Anna, abandoned by her natural parents, left alone in a neglected orphanage.

Elaine and Ian had travelled half way round the world to adopt little Anna. She couldnt have been more wanted, loved and cherished. So why was she now in foster care and living with me? It didnt make sense.

Until I learned what had happened.

Dressed only in nappies and ragged T-shirts the children were incarcerated in their cots. Their large eyes stared out blankly from emaciated faces. Some were obviously disabled, others not, but all were badly undernourished. Flies circled around the broken ceiling fans and buzzed against the grids covering the windows. The only toys were a few balls and a handful of building bricks, but no child played with them. The silence was deafening and unnatural. Not one of the thirty or so infants cried, let alone spoke.

Title: Invisible Weapons

Author: John Rhode

Narrator: Gordon Griffin

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8:12:00

Language: English

Release date: 02-08-18

Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers UK

Genres: Thriller & Horror, Suspense, Cozy Mystery

Summary:

A classic crime novel by one of the most highly regarded exponents of the genre.

The murder of old Mr Fransham while washing his hands in his nieces cloakroom was one of the most astounding problems that ever confronted Scotland Yard. Not only was there a policeman in the house at the time, but there was an ugly wound in the victims forehead and nothing in the locked room that could have inflicted it.

The combined efforts of Superintendent Hanslet and Inspector Waghorn brought no answer and the case was dropped. It was only after another equally baffling murder had been committed that Dr Lancelot Priestleys orderly and imaginative deductions began to make the connections that would solve this extraordinary case.

He presents an overview of sciences search for understanding human fatigue, from crude experiments with electricity and frogs legs to sophisticated brain imaging technology. Going beyond the traditional mechanical view of human limits, he instead argues that a key element in endurance is how the brain responds to distress signalswhether heat, or cold, or muscles screaming with lactic acidand reveals that we can train to improve brain response.

An elite distance runner himself, Hutchinson takes us to the forefront of the new sports psychology brain electrode jolts, computer-based training, subliminal messaging and presents startling new discoveries enhancing the performance of athletes today, showing us how anyone can utilize these tactics to bolster their own performance and get the most out of their bodies.

Title: Mr Bowling Buys a Newspaper

Author: Donald Henderson

Narrator: Tim Frances

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6:13:00

Language: English

Release date: 02-08-18

Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers UK

Genres: Thriller & Horror, Suspense, Police Stories, International Mystery

Summary:

In Raymond Chandlers favourite novel, Mr Bowling buys the newspapers only to find out what the latest is on the murders he's just committed

Mr Bowling is getting away with murder. On each occasion he buys a newspaper to see whether anyone suspects him. But there is a war on, and the clues he leaves are going unnoticed. Which is a shame, because Mr Bowling is not a conventional serial killer: he wants to get caught so that his torment can end. How many more newspapers must he buy before the police finally catch up with him?

Donald Henderson was an actor and playwright who had also written novels as D. H. Landels, but with little success. While working for the BBC in London during the Second World War, his fortunes finally changed with Mr Bowling Buys a Newspaper, a darkly satirical portrayal of a murderer that was to be promoted enthusiastically by Raymond Chandler as his favourite detective novel. But even the author of The Big Sleep could not save it from oblivion: it has remained out of print for more than 60 years.

This Detective Club classic is introduced by award-winning novelist Martin Edwards, author of The Story of Classic Crime in 100 Books, who reveals new information about Hendersons often troubled life and writing career.
