Sinopsis

Is the COVID-19 pandemic now a distant memory and did you wonder what all the fuss was about? This was not the case for Allen Yates. During the height of the UK pandemic he contracted a life-threatening COVID-19 infection which led to 102 days in Wythenshawe Hospital, 68 of them in intensive care and half of that time in an induced coma on a ventilator. Whilst he experienced many bouts of delirium his sister Jackie was the only outside contact with the medical teams. Allen has noted the episodes of delirium he experienced and has coupled them with the detailed diary Jackie kept of Allen’s condition as his life hung in the balance. Allen’s ‘crazy’ and Jackie’s grim reality and the long road to recovery form the basis of this engrossing tale.

This is a summary & it does not accompany the official. 
"Kasher in the Rye" by Moshe Kasher is a hilarious memoir of the life of rising comedian Moshe Kasher, who survived a tumultuous journey through addiction, psychoanalysis, and a chaotic childhood. From his early drug use at age 12 to stints in mental institutions and a move to Oakland initiated by his unconventional mother, Kasher's life reads like a mix of Augusten Burroughs and David Sedaris, with a strong Jewish twist. Despite the harrowing experiences, the book finds humor in the darkest moments, offering a brutally honest and laugh-out-loud funny perspective on a turbulent life.

I chose to write this book after moving from Washington to Port Protection, Alaska to start a full-service fishing lodge. I had been asked several times by lodge guests, “What made you sell everything and move to Port Protection, Alaska to start a fishing lodge?” The other question asked most often was about our recipes. This made me feel so proud. I had thought we would be able to hire a cook but realized we couldn’t afford it at the time. I had to do the cooking. I lost sleep. I had to work so hard to find the easiest and best recipes and put a meal plan together, including lunches for our guests to eat on the boats. I kept a journal that I am now sharing. 
Patty Mae Gray was born and raised in Seattle, Washington. She grew up fishing, gardening, and investing in real estate. 
In 1994, when Patty and her husband were moving to Port Protection, Alaska, she started her first journal. She is currently transforming her journals into novels. 
She lives in Arizona with her dog, Lucy and parrot, Mattie. 
Her goal is for her readers to enjoy and learn from each of her experiences through her stories. 
This is narrated for the author.

After her six-year-old daughter puts a hammer through a wall, Megan Williams decides to abandon a career as an academic and become a police officer. 
 
 
 
It's not lost on her that she may have applied to the Police Academy to escape the realities of mothering twins born via IVF at twenty-nine weeks. As the twins grow and test her endlessly, she feels she is failing. She needs a win. 
 
 
 
During a grueling application process, Megan measures herself against the other candidates and confronts the normative notions of what it is to be a good mother. The paralyzing fear that she is a bad mother looms large in her head, as does the real possibility that she might not make the cut at the Academy. With its intertwined narratives of police recruitment and motherhood, the memoir provides an unflinching journalistic view of big-city law enforcement, set atop a personal journey during which Megan learns gratitude and makes peace with a motherhood far different from the dream sold to her by our culture.

The "revelatory" (The New York Review of Books) story of an ordinary man, his century, and his home. 
 
 
 
Jamaica Kincaid's first obsession, the island of Antigua, comes vibrantly to life under the gaze of Mr. Potter, an illiterate chauffeur who makes his living along the wide, open roads that pass the only towns he has ever seen. The sun shines squarely overhead, the ocean lies on every side, and suppressed passion fills the air. 
 
 
 
As Mr. Potter's narrative unfolds in linked vignettes, his story becomes the story of a vital, damaged community. Amid his surroundings, he struggles to live at ease: to purchase a car, to have girlfriends, and to shake off the encumbrance of his daughters―one of whom will return to Antigua after he dies and tell his story with equal measures of distance and sympathy. 
 
 
 
In Mr. Potter, Kincaid breathes life into a figure unlike any other in contemporary fiction, an individual consciousness emerging gloriously out of an unexamined life.

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
What happens when a counterculture revolution collides with a psychopath’s thirst for control? 
America in the 1960s was a powder keg of political unrest, psychedelic exploration, and generational rebellion. In the chaos, one man manipulated the confusion and turned it into a cult of violence that shocked the world. Charles Manson Anarchy uncovers the psychological, cultural, and social factors that allowed one of America’s most infamous serial killers to thrive in plain sight—and lead others to kill in his name. 
This book doesn’t just ask how Charles Manson committed his crimes—it reveals why people followed him. 
Through meticulous research and gripping narrative, this book unpacks the psychology of Manson’s control, the allure of his twisted charisma, and the radicalized backdrop of the 1960s that made his rise possible. You’ll explore how fringe beliefs, drug culture, anti-establishment fervor, and charismatic manipulation intersected to fuel a tragic chapter in American history. 
Inside you’ll discover: 
A breakdown of Manson’s early life and formative traumas—and how they shaped his worldview 
How the 1960s counterculture, music scene, and political unrest created fertile ground for manipulation 
The psychological techniques Manson used to recruit and control his followers 
Detailed accounts of the infamous Tate-LaBianca murders and the trial that transfixed a nation 
The legacy of the Manson Family—and what it teaches us about extremism, cult psychology, and the dark side of idealism 
If you’re fascinated by true crime, cult psychology, or the turbulent history

Thoreau's classic account of the solitary life, describing his attempts to simplify his life and sort out his priorities by living alone in a cabin beside Walden Pond for nearly two years, is one of the most influential books ever written. The bible of the environmental movement, Walden vividly portrays Thoreau's reverence for nature, and his understanding of the idea that nature is made up of crucially interrelated parts.
