Summary:

From the author of The Best Laid Plans comes another fresh voiced, hilarious rom-com perfect for fans of You Have a Match and The Rest of the Story.

Penny Harris just ruined her life.

As one of the most popular girls in school, she's used to being invited to every party, is dating the Jordan Parker, and can't wait to rule senior year with her best friend, Olivia. But when Penny wakes up on Jordan's lawn the morning after his first-day-of-summer bash, she knows something went horribly wrong the night before.

She kissed Kai Tanaka.

Kai, her longtime nemesis. Kai, Olivia's boyfriend. Penny can't figure out what could have inspired her to do it--she loves Jordan and she would never hurt Olivia--but one thing's for sure: freshly dumped, and out a best friend, the idyllic summer she pictured is over.

And despite the fact that Jordan seems to be seeking comfort (and a whole lot more) in Olivia, all Penny can think about is winning him back. Kai wants to save his relationship too, so they come up with a plan: convince their friends that they really do have feelings for each other. After all, everyone forgives a good love story, and maybe seeing Penny and Kai together will make Jordan and Olivia change their minds.

But as summer heats up, so does Penny and Kai's 'relationship,' and Penny starts to question whether she's truly faking it with Kai, if he's really as terrible as she always thought he was, and if the life she's fighting so hard to get back is the one she really wants.

Title: Everyone Knows Your Mother Is a Witch

Author: Rivka Galchen

Narrator: Natasha Soudek

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8:47:24

Language: English

Release date: 06-08-21

Publisher: HarperPerennial Classics

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Historical Fiction, Literary Fiction, Fairy Tales & Folklore

Summary:

The startling, witty, highly anticipated second novel from the critically acclaimed author of Atmospheric Disturbances

It is 1618 in the German duchy of Württemberg. Plague is spreading, the Thirty Years War has begun, and fear and suspicion are in the air throughout the Holy Roman Empire. In the small town of Leonberg, Katharina Kepler, an illiterate widow, is accused of being a witch.

Katharina is known for her herbal remedies and the success of her children. Her eldest, Johannes, is the Imperial Mathematician and the renowned author of the laws of planetary motion. Its enough to make anyone envious, and Katharina has done herself no favours by going out and about and being in everyones business.

So when the deranged and insipid Ursula Reinbold (or as Katharina calls her, the Werewolf) accuses Katharina of making her ill by offering her a bitter, witchy drink, Katharina is in trouble. Her scientist son must turn his attention from the music of the spheres to the job of defending his mother. Facing the threat of financial ruin, torture and even execution, Katharina tells her side of the story to her friend and neighbour Simon, a reclusive widower imperiled by his own secrets.

Drawing on real historical documents but infused with the intensity of imagination, sly humour and intellectual fire for which Rivka Galchen is known, Everyone Knows Your Mother Is a Witch will both provoke and entertain. The story of how a community becomes implicated in collective aggression and hysterical fear is a tale for our time. Galchens bold new novel touchingly illuminates a family and a society undone by superstition, the state and the mortal convulsions of history.

Title: Home Made: A Story of Grief, Groceries, Showing Up--and What We Make When We Make Dinner

Author: Liz Hauck

Narrator: Liz Hauck

Format: Unabridged

Length: 12:05:05

Language: English

Release date: 06-08-21

Publisher: Random House (Audio)

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Health & Wellness, Arts & Entertainment, History & Culture, Death & Bereavement

Summary:

NEW YORK TIMES EDITORS’ CHOICE • An “extraordinary” (The New York Times Book Review) tender and vivid memoir about the radical grace we discover when we consider ourselves bound together in community, and a moving account of one woman’s attempt to answer the essential question Who are we to one another?

“Your heart will be altered by this book.”—Gregory Boyle, S.J., New York Times bestselling author of Tattoos on the Heart

 

Liz Hauck and her dad had a plan to start a weekly cooking program in a residential home for teenage boys in state care, which was run by the human services agency he co-directed. When her father died before they had a chance to get the project started, Liz decided she would try it without him. She didn’t know what to expect from volunteering with court-involved youth, but as a high school teacher she knew that teenagers are drawn to food-related activities, and as a daughter, she believed that if she and the kids made even a single dinner together she could check one box off her father’s long, unfinished to-do list. This is the story of what happened around the table, and how one dinner became one hundred dinners.

“The kids picked the menus, I bought the groceries,” Liz writes, “and we cooked and ate dinner together for two hours a week for nearly three years. Sometimes improvisation in kitchens is disastrous. But sometimes, a combination of elements produces something spectacularly unexpected. I think that’s why, when we don’t know what else to do, we feed our neighbors.”

 

Capturing the clumsy choreography of cooking with other people, this is a sharply observed story about the ways we behave when we are hungry and the conversations that happen at the intersections of flavor and memory, vulnerability and strength, grief and connection.

Title: Pure Flame

Author: Michelle Orange

Narrator: Patti Murrin

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8:32:07

Language: English

Release date: 06-01-21

Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Women

Summary:

A searing work of cultural memoir, Michelle Oranges Pure Flame explores the meaning of maternal legacy―in her own family and across a century of seismic change. 

In a series of texts with her mother, Michelle Orange learned about the existence of Janis Jerome, who, it turns out, is one of her mothers many alter egos: the name used in a case study, eventually sold to the Harvard Business Review, about her mothers midlife choice to leave her husband and children to pursue career opportunities in a bigger city. A flashpoint in the lives of both mother and daughter, the decision forms the heart of a broader exploration of the impact of feminism on what Adrienne Rich called the great unwritten story: that of the mother-daughter bond.

The death of Oranges maternal grandmother at nearly ninety-six and the fear that her mothers more successful life will not be as long bring new urgency to her questions about the woman whose absence and anger helped shape her life. Through a blend of memoir, social history, and cultural criticism, Pure Flame pursues a chain of personal, intellectual, and collective inheritance, tracing the forces that helped transform the world and what a woman might expect from it. Told with warmth and rigor, Oranges account of her mothers life and their relationship is pressurized in critical and unexpected ways, resulting in an essential, revelatory meditation on becoming, selfhood, freedom, mortality, storytelling, and what it means to be a mothers daughter now.

Title: Voices of History: Speeches That Changed the World

Author: Simon Sebag Montefiore

Narrator: Clarke Peters, Heida Reed, Jade Anouka, Juliet Stevenson, Richard Armitage, Richard Goulding, Simon Sebag Montefiore

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8:24:49

Language: English

Release date: 06-01-21

Publisher: Random House (Audio)

Genres: History, Fiction & Literature, World, Essays & Anthologies

Summary:

A celebration of the great speeches of world history and cultural life. A VINTAGE ORIGINAL

In this exuberant collection, acclaimed historian Simon Sebag Montefiore takes us on a journey from ancient times to the twenty-first century. Some speeches are heroic and inspiring; some diabolical and atrocious. Some are exquisite and poignant; others cruel and chilling. The speakers themselves vary from empresses and conquerors to rock stars, novelists and sportsmen, dreamers and killers, from Churchill and Elizabeth I to Stalin and Genghis Khan, and from Michelle Obama and Cleopatra to Ronald Reagan, Nehru, and Muhammad Ali.

All human drama is here: from the carnage of battlefields to the theatre of courtrooms, from table talk to audiences of millions, from desperate last stands to orations of triumph, from noble calls for liberation to genocidal rants, from foolish delusions and strange confessions to defiant resistance and heartbreaking farewells. Voices of History spans centuries, continents, and cultures. In the accessible and gripping style of a master storyteller, Montefiore shows why these seventy speeches are essential reading and how they enlighten our past, enrich our present, and inspire--as well as hold warnings for--our future.

Title: Wasted: How We Squander Time, Money, and Natural Resources-and What We Can Do About It

Author: Byron Reese, Scott Hoffman

Narrator: Dan Woren

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9:12:28

Language: English

Release date: 06-01-21

Publisher: Random House (Audio)

Genres: Business & Economics, Science & Technology, Animals & Nature, Business Development

Summary:

Wasted is a riveting exploration of the complicated, and often surprising, ways that waste occurs in our businesses, our communities, and our lives

“A smart, unconventional book that takes readers far beyond what they think they know about a complex subject.”—Kari Byron, former cast member of MythBusters

Waste. We spend a great deal of energy trying to avoid it, but once you train your eyes to look for it, you’ll see it all around you—in your home, your business, and your everyday life.

 

In Wasted, futurist Byron Reese and entrepreneur Scott Hoffman take readers on a fascinating journey through this modern world of waste, drawing on science, economics, and human behavior to envision what a world with far less of it—or none of it at all—might look like. Along the way, they explore thought-provoking issues such as

 

• why the United States got a higher proportion of its energy from renewable sources in 1950 than it does today 

• whether the amount of gold in unused mobile phones can be extracted for profit

• how switching to water fountains on a single route from Singapore to Newark could prevent the use of 3,400 plastic bottles—on each flight

• whether the amount of money you save buying goods in bulk is offset by the amount you lose when some spoil.

 

Ultimately, the question of reducing waste is scientific, philosophical, and, most of all, complex. According to Reese and Hoffman, the rush toward simple answers has often led to well-meaning efforts that cause more waste than they save. The only way we can hope to make progress is to treat waste as the complicated issue it is. 

 

While the authors don’t promise easy answers, in this compelling book they take an important step toward solutions by examining the questions at play, giving actionable steps, and ensuring that you’ll never see the world of waste the same way again.
