  This program is read by actor and singer-songwriter Maya Hawke, star of Netflix's Stranger Things."Narrating in a voice as clear and sustaining as a cool glass of water, Hawke’s unflashy approach allows the words to reveal their magic."—The Orange County Register"Didion’s timeless essays shine with Hawke at the helm. This audiobook will bring new listeners to this classic and is highly recommended for libraries everywhere.”—Library Journal (Starred Review)“Maya Hawke performs this classic collection superbly...Hawke gets Didion's measured pace and thoughtful tone just right as she conveys the much admired author's idiosyncratic, elegant language.”—AudioFile (Earphones Award Winner)Celebrated, iconic, and indispensable, Joan Didion’s first work of nonfiction, Slouching Towards Bethlehem, is considered a watershed moment in American writing. First published in 1968, the collection was critically praised as one of the “best prose written in this country.”More than perhaps any other book, this collection by one of the most distinctive prose stylists of our era captures the unique time and place of Joan Didion’s focus, exploring subjects such as John Wayne and Howard Hughes, growing up in California and the nature of good and evil in a Death Valley motel room, and, especially, the essence of San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury, the heart of the counterculture. As Joyce Carol Oates remarked: “[Didion] has been an articulate witness to the most stubborn and intractable truths of our time, a memorable voice, partly eulogistic, partly despairing; always in control.”A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux.

  She thinks he’s a thief breaking into her house at Christmastime. It turns out, he might just steal her heart. 
  My plan, along with my fellow Outside the Bubble club members, was to surprise someone by putting up her Christmas lights. 
  When Annette comes home unexpectedly and catches me climbing a ladder to her roof, she assumes I’m the Grinch, coming to steal Christmas. Her dog gets in on the action, too, and before I know it, the three of us are on the ground in a tangle of twinkle lights. 
  She’s an organized, driven executive with two grown kids. She recently divorced a husband who hid things from her, so I guess it shouldn’t be a surprise that she can tell I’m keeping things about myself hidden. 
  I was an intelligence operative in the field, and I still work for the same top-secret government agency. So you could say that I’m full of secrets. 
  Even though I’ve spent a lifetime staying away from relationships, sparks fly, and love sneaks up on me like a spy on a midnight mission. But I’ve spent my life in disguise—currently as Abraham in the office and Hammy everywhere else— and I’m not sure if I can show the real me. 
  This leaves me wondering if our budding romance will get tangled up in more than just holiday lights. 
  Holiday Lights and Cocoa Cookie Nights is a dual-point-of-view, festive rom-com novella with seasoned characters set in the world of Romancing the Spy. It’s packed with heart, humor, a little adventure, and plenty of cocoa-flavored Christmas cheer.
