A man is trapped in his own mind. Confined to a hospital bed for years, his family and friends believing him all but dead; somehow he can still hear. And he listens, he keeps breathing, keeps thinking, as those around him suddenly condemn him to death. With a life destined to end, he recounts his battlefield experience of death and violence, his own struggle with drug addiction and depression, and coming to terms with his own mortality, the importance of family and the meaning of life.

Publisher's Summary:

For Naomi Ash, growing up the daughter of a clairvoyant medium exposed her to the chicanery of a business where telling people what they want to hear is the only currency. And the sleepy hamlet of Train Line, New York, nestled against a frigid lake in the westernmost fringes of the state, was founded on, built, and is still sustained by it. Now a young woman and a practicing medium herself, Naomi still lives in the place that nourished and raised her - the place where she fell in love.

Love, however, can be deadly. And the secrets behind the fake and the fraud, behind her deepest desires and greatest fears, and behind the lies and truths of her life collide with ferocity and quiet consequence, a profound duality that pervades the past and the present, and crosses the line between the living and the dead.

Publisher's Summary:

The summer after Abby's first year of college, eight months after doctors find a malignant tumor in her mother's brain, she and her parents take a trip to northern New Hampshire. The vacation is her father's idea: five days at a historic resort, where long naps are encouraged, cocktails are served on a wide veranda in the afternoons, and men are expected to wear jackets after six. A small procession of friends and former neighbors will come to visit Helen, and, although it goes unspoken, to possibly say goodbye.

Abby's parents aren't the people they'd been when she left for school: Illness has turned her playful, warm mother Helen into a disabled person and her father Elliott into a steward. Elliott is the only one in the family who knows that Helen's tumor is inoperable - and over the course of the week it is his job to impart this news.

As the week progresses, Helen's friends deal with her illness in varied, sometimes surprising ways, and Abby is free to grow up or fall apart as she sees fit. She spends the nights in New Hampshire trying to forget her mother, aided by the youthful, untroubled employees of the hotel, and the week becomes an awakening for her in many ways.

Alternating between the perspectives of Elliott, Helen, and Abby, Hello Goodbye

Publisher's Summary:

Weakness has always been a concern for William Miller. Growing up vegetarian in a family of bodybuilders will do that to a person. But William is further weakened by the death of his mother, the arrival of a new stepmother, and his irrepressible crush on his new stepsister, Lulu. As Lulu faces down her own challenges, William watches his life shift into tumult and despair. Once Lulu departs for college, Will goes into the world to find himself: discovering Western philosophy, a cruel dating world, enduring friendship, and, ultimately, finding his true calling.

Emboldened by his turn as a late-night radio personality, Will rescues himself from the self-image of weakness he'd long wished to escape. This debut novel explores the fundamental difference between where we come from - and the endless possibilities of where we may go.

Critic Reviews:

Evisons debut - of love and loss, growing up, throwing up and moving on - is a stunner. . . . Evison provides readers a viciously funny and deeply felt portrayal of a blended family and one mans thwarted longing. (Publishers Weekly)

Evisons debut novel glows with evocative details and unforgettable scenes . . . story of sweet complexity, about the people you want to hold on to, and the ones you have to let go. (Time Out New York)

All About Lulu hits you right in the place that good music does, with a sharp, heady sweetness. (Seattle Times)

Publisher's Summary:

Chicago, 1920: Hadley Richardson is a shy 28-year-old who has all but given up on love and happiness when she meets Ernest Hemingway and is captivated by his energy, intensity and burning ambition to write. After a whirlwind courtship and wedding, the pair set sail for France. But glamorous Jazz Age Paris, full of artists and writers, fuelled by alcohol and gossip, is no place for family life and fidelity.

Ernest and Hadley's marriage begins to founder, and the birth of a beloved son serves only to drive them further apart. Then, at last, Ernest's ferocious literary endeavours begin to bring him recognition - not least from a woman intent on making him her own....

Critic Reviews:

"I read it in two days, laughing and crying. What a heartbreaker . . . It has all the ingredients of a literary heart-thumper: sex, love, ambition, betrayal, impossibility and regret . . . McLain has given the voice, mind, pen and strength to a woman. Hadley is an intelligent, strong, adult woman in a deeply unsympathetic situation - glittering, but toxic and ultimately very undermining. It's a very haunting combination." (Bidisha)

Title: The Woefield Poultry Collective

Author: Susan Juby

Narrator: Carter Hayden, Kate Griffin, Jennifer Walls, Michael Fletcher

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 51 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-20-11

Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Ltd

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 22 votes

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

Woefield Farm is a sprawling thirty acres of scrub land, complete with dilapidated buildings and one half-sheared, lonely sheep named Bertie. Its run - in the loosest possible sense of the word - by Prudence Burns, an energetic, well-intentioned twenty-something New Yorker full of back-to- the-land ideals, but without an iota of related skills or experience. Prudence, who inherited the farm from her uncle, soon discovers that the bank is about to foreclose on Woefield Farm, which means that Prudence has to turn things around, fast. But fear not! Shell be assisted by Earl, a spry seventy-something, banjo-playing foreman with a distrust of newfangled ideas and a substantial family secret; Seth, the alcoholic, celebrity-blogging boy-next-door, who hasnt left the house since a scandal with his high-school drama teacher; and Sara Spratt, a highly organized eleven-year-old looking for a home for her prizewinning chickens, including one particularly randy fellow soon to be christened Alec Baldwin.

Full of offbeat charm and characters you wont soon forget, The Woefield Poultry Collective is a heartwarming novel about learning how to take on a challenge, facing your fears, and finding friendship in the most unlikely of places. With alternating narratives, Susan Juby shows how a team of misfits can find acceptance and success, even with - and sometimes in spite of - their highly unorthodox approach.

Critic Reviews:

"In her sparklingly witty and charming first novel for adults, the author of the Alice MacLeod YA series delightfully combines satire and a distinctly modern voice with old-fashioned sweetness, and her laugh-out-loud writing is tempered by the characters' emotional pain and efforts to help one another heal. Woefield Farm may not produce a single crop, yet it's fertile ground for superb storytelling." (Booklist)

"It's so difficult to have a (theoretically) morally superior protagonist doing good works, and have them be in any way likable. Susan Juby achieves this miraculous feat with her latest novel, The Woefield Poultry Collective .... The novel is genuinely funny and tremendously charming." (Sandra Kasturi, National Post)

"Susan Juby is a marvel. Wise, witty, and full of heart, her writing draws you in and won't let go. And just when you think it can't get any better, it does. I never wanted to leave Woefield, and you won't, either." (Meg Cabot, author of The Princess Diaries and Insatiable)
