'Wonderfully narrated by Bessie Carter, I found myself magically transported to the Cotswold country house setting of Nancy Mitford’s The Pursuit of Love and immersing myself in the youthful aspirations of Fanny and her cousins. Nancy’s observations of an extended upper class family and their friends in the interwar years are beyond witty and wry. These, along with the amusing and surprisingly relatable stories of the girls through their teens and as young women kept me entertained through hours of travelling. I’m looking forward to catching up with the family again in Love in a Cold Climate and Don’t Tell Alfred!' - Frances, Audible Editor

Come for the pearls of wisdom on how to stay true to yourself and your happiness, stay for the dulcet tones and calming, chapter-defining bell.' - Tom, Audible Editor

'One of the most heart-breaking and honest things that I have listened to in years. How Rob Delaney wrote this book and then narrated it sharing his family’s story moved me. It’s humourous and sad navigating the challenges that little Henry faces. Teaches to cherish every small moment and how to view the world when tragedy impacts those closest to you.' - Henry, Audible Staff

Leigh-Anne Pinnock is an amazing narrator and the sound design is beautiful – it feels almost like a meditative experience listening to this.' - Robin, Audible Staff

'Meet Brooke: a bisexual Bridget Jones, a millennial Meg Ryan, a girl standing in front of a boy asking him—wait, it doesn’t have to be a boy? For Brooke, ‘The One’ could be anyone. As long as it’s the type of (highly problematic) movie love she’s watched on repeat since she was little. Based on a one woman show from the Edinburgh Fringe (just like the equally honest and funny x Fleabag), Algorithms is a laugh out loud tale of modern dating, with a score you’ll be humming for weeks. A fun quick listen at just 2.5 hours long!' - Lydia, Audible Staff

'Julia Donaldson’s tales never fail to bring the magic, and The Smeds and the Smoos is no exception. Aside from interweaving an important moral lesson – that no one should be treated differently based on how they look, their home or even what they eat – the story brims with imagination that the whole family will enjoy. From the Wurpular Wood filled with glompons and jerberrycoots to Planet Glurch covered in slime, this is a unifying story of friendship and acceptance.' - Jess, Audible Editor

Stephen Fry travels into the most remarkable place we know - our brain. The organ of knowledge and the one we know least about. Over 12 episodes Stephen explores just how much we’ve learned about this mysterious structure in recent years and tries to answer some of the most difficult questions that remain. To do this, we relay the discoveries and stories of neuroscientists, psychologists, anthropologists and even philosophers, to add illumination and perspective as we travel. Each episode will be full of brainy stories: some shocking, some thrilling, some scarcely believable.

Was it one of the largest ever acts of mass murder, a hijacking that went wrong, or was it something less sinister like technical failure? Aviation experts have no answers. Politicians have no easy solutions. Families have no bodies to bury.

Imagine if you made one little mistake when you were young and were punished for it for the rest of your life. Well, that’s what happened to Lydia (yes, that Lydia, the youngest Bennet sister from Pride and Prejudice), and she’s here to set the record straight. Hold on to your teacups and get ready for sophisticated (and a little bit naughty) hot takes and witty banter that’ll make you laugh—and think. We meet Lydia just as she is denounced by her family, exiled miles from home, and married to the rogue George Wickham, who seems to love all women...except his own wife.

Story
A lone narrator meets a railway worker who is confined to a cold, gloomy station in a deep cutting near a tunnel entrance. This worker is a signalman, and it is his responsibility to give the green light for trains to pass through the area. These are slow, monotonous days. The signalman’s life is not marked by much, until the nightmares begin. Three times in a row, a ghost mysteriously appears before the signalman – and with each apparition, a tragic accident unfolds on the rail tracks. Although our narrator doubts the man at first, events soon make him a believer too.

Cheese is a metaphor for what you want to have in life, for example a good job, a loving relationship, money or possessions, health or spiritual peace of mind. The maze is where you look for what you want, perhaps the organisation you work in or the family or community you live in. The problem is that the cheese keeps moving.

Welcome to Jeremy's farm. It's an idyllic spot, offering picturesque views across the Cotswolds, bustling hedgerows, woodlands and natural springs. Jeremy always liked the idea being a farmer. But, while he was barrelling around the world having more fun with cars than was entirely reasonable, it seemed obvious that the actual, you know, farming was much better left to someone else. Then one day he decided he would do the farming himself. After all, how hard could it be?

Told in language of great simplicity and power, it is the story of an old Cuban fisherman, down on his luck, and his supreme ordeal, a relentless, agonizing battle with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream. Here Hemingway recasts, in strikingly contemporary style, the classic theme of courage in the face of defeat, of personal triumph won from loss.

Story
Every object has a ghost. There is a small yellow backpack - half unzipped, mouth yawning to the pavement, contents strewn around it (a banana, an exercise book, a pair of scissors) - abandoned on a suburban footpath. Ten feet away, the rubber stamp of tyres, resisting clamped brakes, mount the curb and cut across the path. The tracks come to an end at a crippled stop sign. The street, a tree-lined suburban road dappled in late-afternoon sunlight, is calm. But anyone walking past can feel the ghosts: the prickle on the back of their necks that tells them something happened here.

This is a self help-book like no other. Because you are not helping yourself, James Acaster is helping you. When James quit all forms of social media in 2019 he felt like he'd been born anew, but he was worried he'd suffer withdrawal and get lured back online to compete in a never ending popularity contest with only one possible winner (f--king Zuckerberg). He knew that in order to stay clean he'd have to replace everything social media used to give him with three-dimensional real-life activities.

This is a book about holding it together (or not) amidst the chaos. It's about my life and all I've learned, all I've got wrong, and everything that makes this mad, frustrating, wonderful patchwork family work. It's about the stuff we don't teach our kids in school, having heartbreaking conversations and healing from being broken. It's about all of us living these messy, amazing lives. It's never perfect, but it's magic and it's mine and I wouldn't have it any other way.

In a powerful new vision Dr Brené Brown challenges everything we think we know about vulnerability, and dispels the widely accepted myth that it's a weakness. She argues that, in truth, vulnerability is strength and when we shut ourselves off from vulnerability - from revealing our true selves - we distance ourselves from the experiences that bring purpose and meaning to our lives.

The tragedy of our time has been happening all around us, barely noticeable from day to day - the loss of our planet's wild places, its biodiversity. I have been witness to this decline.

Intelligence is usually seen as the ability to think and learn, but in a rapidly changing world, there's another set of cognitive skills that might matter more: the ability to rethink and unlearn. In recent months, the pandemic has forced us all to reevaluate our assumptions about health and safety and multiple acts of police brutality have challenged most of us to reconsider our responsibility for fighting racism. Yet in our daily lives, too many of us still favor the comfort of conviction over the discomfort of doubt.

This was partly to let his wife and kids experience life in Bryson's homeland, and partly because he had read that 3.7 million Americans believed that they had been abducted by aliens at one time or another. It was thus clear to him that his people needed him.
