Title: The Great Indoorsman: Essays Author: Andrew Farkas Narrator: Robert Fass Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 43 minutes Release date: March 1, 2022 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: Many authors have traveled and explored the out-of-doors, both in life and then in their books, proving themselves stalwart, audacious, even heroic; Andrew Farkas is not among them. He is brave enough to admit that the outdoors isn’t for him. Instead, in these essays Farkas reports on his bold explorations of a very different territory: the in-of-doors, the waiting rooms, kitchens, malls, bars, theaters, roadside motel rooms, and other places that feature temperature control, protection from rampaging predators, and a higher degree of comfort than can be found outside. Farkas discovers that, just as the mannered and wonderfully (gloriously) artificial indoors influences us greatly, our lives are also controlled much more by fiction than by anything “real.” So come in out of the weather (it’s always terrible) and join the Great Indoorsman on his adventures, where he makes fun of pretty much everything, most of all himself.

Weaving back and forth between past and present, Hoffman invokes in dramatic detail the life and death of his immigrant great-grandmother in Winnipeg’s Hebrew Colony, and his mother’s downward spiral.

Title: I Have Always Been Me: A Memoir Author: Precious Brady-Davis Narrator: Precious Brady-Davis Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 24 minutes Release date: July 1, 2021 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: A powerful memoir of independence, releasing the past, and living the dream by award-winning trans advocate Precious Brady-Davis. Precious Brady-Davis remembers the sense of being singular and grappling with “otherness.” Born into traumatic circumstances, Davis was brought up in the Omaha foster care system and the Pentecostal faith. As a biracial, gender-nonconforming kid, she felt displaced. Yet she realized by coming into her identity that she had a purpose all along. In I Have Always Been Me, Brady-Davis reflects on a childhood of neglect, instability, and abandonment. She reveals her determination to dream through it and shares her profound journey as a trans woman now fully actualized, absolutely confident, and precious. She speaks to anyone who has ever tried to find their place in this world and imparts the wisdom that comes with surmounting odds and celebrating on the other side. A memoir, a love story, and an outreach for the marginalized, Precious’s sojourn is a song of self-reliance and pride and an invitation to join in the chorus.

Title: The Puma Years: A Memoir Author: Laura Coleman Narrator: Laura Coleman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 17 minutes Release date: June 1, 2021 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: In this rapturous memoir, writer and activist Laura Coleman shares the story of her liberating journey in the Amazon jungle, where she fell in love with a magnificent cat who changed her life. Laura was in her early twenties and directionless when she quit her job to backpack in Bolivia. Fate landed her at a wildlife sanctuary on the edge of the Amazon jungle where she was assigned to a beautiful and complex puma named Wayra. Wide-eyed, inexperienced, and comically terrified, Laura made the scrappy, make-do camp her home. And in Wayra, she made a friend for life. They weren’t alone, not with over a hundred quirky animals to care for, each lost and hurt in their own way: a pair of suicidal, bra-stealing monkeys, a frustrated parrot desperate to fly, and a pig with a wicked sense of humor. The humans, too, were cause for laughter and tears. There were animal whisperers, committed staff, wildly devoted volunteers, handsome heartbreakers, and a machete-wielding prom queen who carried Laura through. Most of all, there was the jungle—lyrical and alive—and there was Wayra, who would ultimately teach Laura so much about love, healing, and the person she was capable of becoming. Set against a turbulent and poignant backdrop of deforestation, the illegal pet trade, and forest fires, The Puma Years explores what happens when two desperate creatures in need of rescue find one another.

Rowling Narrator: Sedat Beriş Format: Abridged Audiobook Length: 0 hours 21 minutes Release date: July 27, 2020 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: 'Dünyayı değiştirmek için büyüye ihtiyacımız yok; ihtiyacımız olan gücü zaten içimizde taşıyoruz.' J.K. Rowling Harvard Üniversitesi'nde mezuniyet konuşması yapmaya davet edildiğinde, çok değerli bulduğu iki konunun üzerinde durmayı seçti: başarısızlığın faydaları ile hayal gücünün önemi. Başarısızlığa uğramayı göze almanın, klasik tüm başarı ölçütleri kadar, güzel bir hayat için elzem olduğunu; kendimizi başkalarının –özellikle bizden daha talihsiz olanların– yerine koymanın geliştirilmesi gereken benzersiz bir insani özellik olduğunu vurguladı. Rowling'in paylaştığı hikâyeler ve genç mezunlara sorduğu kışkırtıcı sorular o günden beri birçok kişiyi 'güzel bir hayat' yaşamanın ne anlama geldiğini düşünmeye teşvik etti. Rowling'in sözleri hayatlarının dönüm noktasında duran her yaştan insanı harekete geçmeye itiyor ya da onlara teselli sunuyor. Risk alıp belki bu yolda başarısızlığa uğrayarak ve hayal gücümüzü kullanarak hayatın karşımıza çıkardığı fırsatlara daha açık olabileceğimizin altını çiziyor. 'Hayat bir hikâye gibidir; ne kadar uzun olduğu değil, ne kadar güzel olduğu önemlidir.' SENECA
