  My Year in Paris with Gertrude...

  In contemporary Paris, a narrator and two companions explore the life and work of Gertrude Stein: a subversive imagining of a truly subversive female artist. This program is read by Audie Award–winning narrator Kristin Atherton.Our narrator has a lot going on. Her friend Eva’s cat is missing—also, she wonders, where is Eva’s husband. Their other friend Fanny is barely around, and not because of her job in finance; she is tangled up with no less than three lovers. And Gertrude Stein is ruining the narrator’s life.She is trying to write an essay about Stein but it seems impossible. She knows too much and nothing at all about the leading avant-garde thinker of the early twentieth century. There are the facts: Gertrude Stein studied psychology at Harvard and medicine at Johns Hopkins, then quit; curated modern art in her rented apartment that would shake the world; wrote novels, plays, poetry, and libretti that are incoherent and brilliant; felt love at first sight for her daring wife, the subject of The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas.But so much is out of reach. How do we put ourselves together? What do we lose to become modern? What do we find beyond the limits of language? Only a book like this, only a book by Deborah Levy, “an indelible writer [and] elliptical genius” (Dwight Garner, The New York Times Book Review), could attempt such an investigation. It crashes through genre to form something distinctively, utterly new—an imaginative, entertaining, and scholarly manifestation befitting the genius at its center.

  Coparenting is easy for Elias and Amanda. Having sex is even easier. When Amanda begins to feel the tether of their bond loosen, she prepares for things to change between her and her baby’s daddy, though her heart has always belonged to him. 
    
  For Elias, Amanda was too shallow to take seriously as a romantic partner. However, lust joined them for life because of their son. He’s sure they will always be friends and nothing more, until a failed romantic relationship shows him the woman that’s always been by his side—Amanda. 
    
  For Amanda, it has taken years to accept that she will never be Elias’s type. Though she’s matured over the years, he’s never been interested in getting to know the layers that have rippled beneath her surface—until a sure thing backfires in his face. 
    
  Now that Elias has Amanda in his vision, she’s finally detached from the thought of a relationship with him. Will her redemptive changes work in their romantic favor, or will she prove the adage of appreciating what you have when it’s gone?

  Grieving for her parents and insecure about her future, she is moved across the world to a new country with part of her family that she has never met.

  Angry and feeling betrayed, with the help of her grandfather and his handsome, young chief of security Aiden Kennedy, Reagan begins to dig into her family history only to find out that she is not just any angelic descendant, she is the offspring of two angelic lines one good and one evil who are currently at war with each other for control over the fate of humanity. How does she decide which side to take? Who is telling her the truth? 
  Hidden Angel is an exhilarating beginning story of Reagan Whalen by Bronwyn Aisling. If you enjoy following the journey of a female heroine coming into her own, this is for you.

  The Day Satoshi Returned

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  Satoshi Nakamoto sent one final message in 2011: "I've moved on to other things." 
  Then silence. Thirty-three years of silence. The identity unconfirmed. The coins untouched. The greatest disappearance in the history of money. 
  In 2044, the Genesis address signs again. Cryptographically verified. Undeniable. The world's most powerful ghost is finally speaking — and no one knows who is really typing. 
  Daniel Mercer is an investigative journalist addicted to proof. When the first signed message appears on the eve of the ninth Bitcoin halving, he is pulled into a crisis spanning continents — pitting governments, courts, and intelligence agencies against an identity no one can confirm and no one can dismiss. 
  Elena Varga is one of seven licensed human signers in Texas — a liability ethicist who believes meaningful human intent must be traceable, not delegated to machines. Her brother died in a hospital where no human signed his care. She will not let that happen again. 
  Their paths collide as the messages multiply and the institutions designed to maintain order begin weaponizing the very panic they were built to prevent. 
  From the Autonomy Courts of Dallas to the checkpoints of occupied Jerusalem, from Zurich's banking vaults to parliamentary chambers in London, one question radiates outward: Who is Satoshi Nakamoto — and what does the return mean for a world that has quietly surrendered its authority to machines it cannot question? 
  A near-future speculative thriller about Bitcoin, sovereignty, surveillance, and what happens when the system that was supposed to free us becomes the cage we didn't notice we were building. 
  For fans of Neal Stephenson, Michael Crichton, and Daniel Suarez — and for anyone who has ever wondered what would happen if Satoshi came back. 
  Multiple points of view. One question the world isn't ready to answer.
