  Cambria - Because Two People...

  Off the California coast, sits a small town split by the Pacific Coast Highway and in this town actually stood a salmon colored Victorian home where a not so young couple first learned how to trust. 
  This was my second marriage. I was in my forties with a divorce under my belt, a job I hated, and then this woman comes into my life making games of my fears. She came from a world I had never known, one that wasn’t so cruel and dangerous. 
  We married and travelled our little corner of the world together just before the 2008 recession hit, causing a career I thought I had built for myself to crumble just as a dream I had always denied became my only option. 
  And I think the only thing that held us together, that held me together during that difficult time was trust. Trust isn’t something you see too much of anymore. It’s been replaced by confirmation, notarization, and security codes. But, without trust, I would never have even met Vicky, she and I would never have been wed, and we would never have made it to Cambria. 
  Worse still, without trust we never would have lived in that big, pink, Victorian home on the California coast, travelled back to the 1960s, sailed a living room east of the Pacific, made friends with a golden retriever, or spoke with a cow. 
  It was from out of all of this but also for all of this that I recorded my third autobiographical monologue: Cambria. 
  All because two people fell in love.

  The author serves jokes void of light, Each punchline developed in night. His photos—askew— Make lunatics coo; If you’re sane, turn away from this sight. 
  Step into London’s shadows, where the oddest narratives meet the darkest rhymes. 
  This is not your average poetry collection. Narrated by Alan Vance with a crisp, sophisticated British delivery, Mysterious Alleyways of London is a journey through the unsettling, the overlooked, and the unintentionally hilarious. 
  As described by author Tim Dalgleish, Sergiusz Wasilewski is essentially "the Edward Lear of London Town." This audiobook brings his witty, surreal, and wistfully amusing limericks to life. Each verse "bites" with black humor, perfectly captured by Vance’s cinematic narration style that blends classic clarity with a modern, engaging pace. 
  Why listen?Masterful Limericks: Satirical, twisted, and unapologetically dark.Cinematic Experience: A vocal stroll through London's "Smoke," from hole-in-the-wall galleries to fog-drenched stairways.Perfect for fans of: Edward Lear, dark satire, and those who have ever accidentally chuckled at the wrong moment. 
  The images whisper, the limericks bite, and the narration grins at your discomfort. Buy it, gift it, or listen to it while wandering a stranger’s city. Just don’t listen with the lights off.

  Loaners: The Making of a Street...

  In 2011, Laura Moulton founded Street Books, a mobile library serving people living outside in Portland, Oregon. That summer, Ben Hodgson became one of her most dedicated regulars, setting the still-unbroken single-season record for borrowing. Then Ben's routines changed, and he didn't cross paths again with Laura for almost two years. Loaners is the story they began to tell when they reconnected, offering a street-level perspective of a community whose stories are seldom told, alternating between their two unforgettable points of view in this addictively readable, occasionally sublime memoir.  
  Pulitzer-nominated writer Karen Russell has this to say about Loaners: "A wonderfully sui generis memoir, braiding together hilarious and devastating anecdotes from Ben's years living on the street in Old Town — 'the Baltic and Mediterranean' of Portland — and Laura's decade of building her first bike library, a 'beautiful, ungainly, rolling creation,' into a sprawling, city-wide network of street librarians and patrons. Like Street Books itself, Loaners is a powerful collaboration between neighbors, a wonderful, chimerical book held together by the glue of humor, hope and connection. The right book can change a person forever in a few hours time. Anyone looking for evidence to pair with this grand claim of mine should read Loaners immediately."

  The History of Henry Esmond is a richly detailed historical novel set in late 17th- and early 18th-century England, narrated by Henry Esmond himself—an honorable, illegitimate scion of the noble Castlewood family. The story traces his devoted love for his cousin Beatrix, his complex loyalty to the doomed Stuart cause, and his service during Queen Anne’s reign. Blending romance, political intrigue, and philosophical reflection, Thackeray crafts a vivid portrait of an era defined by shifting loyalties, class tensions, and moral ambiguity, all rendered with elegant prose and deep historical insight.
