Summary:

Random House presents the audiobook edition of Seven Signs of Life by Aoife Abbey, read by Caroline Lennon.

Grief. Anger. Joy. Fear. Distraction. Disgust. Hope. All emotions we expect to encounter over our lifetime.

But what if this was every day? And what if your ability to manage them was the difference between life and death?

For a doctor in Intensive Care this is part of the job. Fear in the eyes of a terminally ill patient who pleads with you to not let them die. Grief when you make a potentially fatal mistake. Disgust at caring for a convicted rapist. But there are also moments of joy, like the rare bright spots of lucidity for a dementia patient, or when the ward unexpectedly breaks into song.

Dr Aoife Abbey shows us what a doctor sees of humanity as it comes through the revolving door of the hospital and takes us beyond a purely medical perspective. Told through seven emotions, Seven Signs of Life is about what it means to be alive and how it feels to care for a living.

Summary:

‘Riveting, profoundly moving’ Emily St. John Mandel, author of Station Eleven 

‘Beautiful and devastating’ Red

‘Thought-provoking and profound’ Cosmopolitan

Imagine a world where sleep could trap you, for days, for weeks, for months…

She sleeps through sunrise. She sleeps through sunset.

And yet, in those first few hours, the doctors can find nothing else wrong. She looks like an ordinary girl sleeping ordinary sleep.

Karen Thompson Walker's second novel tells the mesmerising story of a town transformed by a mystery illness that locks people in perpetual sleep and triggers extraordinary, life-altering dreams.

One night in an isolated college town in the hills of Southern California, a first-year student stumbles into her room and falls asleep. She sleeps through the morning, into the evening. Her roommate cannot rouse her. Neither can the paramedics, nor the perplexed doctors at the hospital.

When a second girl falls asleep, and then a third, panic takes hold of the college and spreads to the town. A young couple tries to protect their newborn baby as the once-quiet streets descend into chaos. Two sisters turn to each other for comfort as their survivalist father prepares for disaster.

Written in luminous prose, The Dreamers is a breathtaking and beautiful novel, startling and provocative, about the possibilities contained within a human life if only we are awakened to them.

Praise for The Age of Miracles:

'What a remarkable, beautifully wrought novel' Curtis Sittenfeld

‘A beautifully observed coming-of-age tale… nimble, delicate and emotionally sophisticated’ Observer

‘Hauntingly believable… an impressive and quietly terrifying book’ Sunday Times

'A stunner from the first page… I loved this novel and can't wait to see what this remarkable writer will do next' Justin Cronin

The truth was that if a woman bit a man in an office environment, there would be a strong assumption that the man had done something to deserve it . . .

From the creator of Cat Person the first short story to go viral comes You Know You Want This, a compulsive collection about sex, dating and modern life. These are stories of womens lives now. They also happen to be horror stories. In some, women endure the horror. In others, they inflict it.

Here are women at work, at home, on dates, at the doctors, with their families and with their friends. Here are women grappling with desire, punishment, guilt and anger. These are stories that make you feel fascinated but repelled, scared but delighted, revolted but aroused.

You Know You Want This shows why Kristen Roupenian is the most audacious new voice in American fiction. Funny, furious, sly and explicit, she takes a long, hard look at the messed-up power dynamic between men and women and messes it up some more.

Title: Diary of a Drag Queen

Author: Crystal Rasmussen

Narrator: Tom Rasmussen

Format: Unabridged

Length: 08:30:34

Language: English

Release date: 02-07-19

Publisher: Penguin Books LTD

Genres: Biography & Memoir, General Comedy

Summary:

Random House presents the audiobook edition of Diary of a Drag Queen, written and read by Tom Rasmussen.

Life's a drag...

'Stories like the one where you shagged a 79-year-old builder and knocked over his sisters ashes while feeding him a Viagra. Or the time you crashed your car because you were giving a hand job in barely moving traffic and took your eye off the car in front. Thats the kind of dinner-party ice-breaker Im talking about.'

Northern, working-class and shagging men three times her age, Crystal writes candidly about her search for the one; sleeping with an editor in an attempt to become a world famous journalist; getting hired and fired by a well-known fashion magazine; being torn between losing weight and gorging on KFC; and her need for constant sexual satisfaction (and where that takes her).

Charting her day-to-day adventures over the course of a year, we encounter tucks, twists and sucks, heinous overspending and endless nights spent sprinting from problem to problem in a full face of makeup.

This is a place where the previously unspeakable becomes the commendable a unique portrayal of the queer experience.

Title: Origins: How the Earth Shaped Human History

Author: Lewis Dartnell

Narrator: John Sackville

Format: Unabridged

Length: 09:10:12

Language: English

Release date: 01-31-19

Publisher: Penguin Books LTD

Genres: Non-Fiction, Science & Technology, Animals & Nature, History, Social Science

Summary:

Random House presents the audiobook edition of Origins by Lewis Dartnell, read by John Sackville.

When we talk about human history, we focus on great leaders, mass migration and decisive wars. But how has the Earth itself determined our destiny? How has our planet made us?

As a species we are shaped by our environment. Geological forces drove our evolution in East Africa; mountainous terrain led to the development of democracy in Greece; and today voting behaviour in the United States follows the bed of an ancient sea. The human story is the story of these forces, from plate tectonics and climate change, to atmospheric circulation and ocean currents.

How are the Himalayas linked to the orbit of the Earth, and to the formation of the British Isles? By taking us billions of years into our planets past, Professor Lewis Dartnell tells us the ultimate origin story. When we reach the point where history becomes science we see a vast web of connections that underwrites our modern world and helps us face the challenges of the future.

From the cultivation of the first crops to the founding of modern states, Origins reveals the Earths awesome impact on the shape of human civilizations.

He is on the brink of the next step very close to achieving intellectual credibility and some serious celebrity.

However, Henry has unwittingly become an important part of the life of recently-divorced Kristin: someone who is also on the brink. Sitting in her beautiful, empty Philadelphia home, Kristin is obsessed with the handsome English actor and convinced they are destined to be together. She resolves to fly to London and bring their relationship to fruition.

Dream Sequence explores what it is to live at our current moment, with its porous borders between the inner and the outer life, and is a stunning, terrifying drama about psychological damage, stalking, and the perils of celebrity.
