History of Sweden: A Captivating...

Captivating History

Did you know that Viking-age Swedes were the founding dynasty of what eventually became Russia? 
In contrast to their Danish and Norwegian cousins, Swedish Vikings traveled east rather than west in search of riches, land, and power. The extensive river systems of Russia provided economic and military “super-highways” to the adventurers from the north, who journeyed down them all the way to the Black Sea and Constantinople in search of fame and riches. 
The rise in TV shows and movies has renewed the people’s interest in Vikings, but the Swedish Vikings have been notably absent from these accounts. In Captivating History’s History of Sweden, you will learn more about these Swedish adventurers, along with other parts of Sweden’s fascinating history.

Lessons From Nature - Finding...

Wadih Moussa, Valeria Ecaterina...

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
Lessons From Nature: Finding Wisdom in the World Around Us is a collaboration between photographer Wadih Moussa and psychologist Dr. Valeria Ecaterina Purcia, blending the quiet beauty of nature with the clarity of psychological insight. 
In the audiobook edition, each chapter begins with a brief description of a photograph—a still moment captured in nature—followed by a reflection on the life lesson it holds: the diligence of a bee, the endurance of a tree, the contentment of a bird. These stories invite the listener to slow down, pay attention, and discover how nature mirrors the values that ground and sustain us. 
Adding depth to each chapter, Dr. Purcia draws on her experience as a psychologist, educator, and author to explore the emotional and mental dimensions of these natural lessons. Her contributions turn each entry into a practical meditation on resilience, self-awareness, and personal growth. 
This audiobook is both contemplative and usable. It speaks to those who crave meaning in a noisy world, who want to reconnect with themselves, and who believe that nature still has something to teach us if we’re willing to listen. 
Whether drawn by the imagery, the life lessons, or the psychological reflections, listeners will find here a quiet space for renewal. A place to pause. A path back to balance.

Unbelievable You

Chelsea M. Cameron

Hunter: Things had been going pretty well for me. My time was filled with my jobs and friends, and my parents seemed to have finally given up on bullying me to go to law school. Then everything changes in the blink of an eye. One minute I’m teaching a yoga class, and the next there’s smoke and then fire and with it comes firefighters. One in particular.
Stace: There are only three things that I take seriously—my job as a volunteer firefighter, my work with the animal shelter, and my family. Everything else? Not so much. And then we get a call and I end up carrying an unbelievably gorgeous woman down the stairs and I feel like my entire world has shifted and nothing will ever be the same.
Hunter: She lifted me like some hero from a romance movie and I couldn’t help but notice how good she looked when she took her helmet off and smiled at me. But that’s neither here nor there. I’ll never pursue someone like Stace. Love doesn’t work out for me, not for any member of my family. It’s just not in our genes. Why would I sign up for the inevitable downfall that will wreck my life? I’ll keep my heart whole and intact, thank you very much. Stace is the kind of person who demands all or nothing, and I have nothing for her.
Stace: Hunter is … complicated. Closed-off. A challenge, not to mention she’s so beautiful that she’d make angels jealous. I’ve never met anyone who deserves to be seduced and spoiled by affection more than her. So that’s what I’m going to do. Because I have to have her.
