The Mysterious Benedict Society is up against a new mission, significantly closer to home. After reuniting for a celebratory scavenger hunt, Reynie, Kate, Sticky, and Constance are forced to go on an unexpected search--a search to find Mr. Benedict. It seems that while he was preparing the kids' adventure, he stepped right into a trap orchestrated by his evil twin Mr. Curtain.

With only one week to find a captured Mr. Benedict, the gifted foursome faces their greatest challenge of all--a challenge that will reinforce the reasons they were brought together in the first place and will require them to fight for the very namesake that united them.

The Mysterious Benedict Society And The Perilous Journey by Trenton L Stewart, Diana Sudyka

Jess is a single mother to two teenage children, and although life can be tough she’s just about keeping things together. But when her landlord asks her to move on, so he can sell the house they’re living in without warning, Jess’s worries take on a whole new meaning. As Jess struggles to regain her footing, cracks begin to appear in other areas of her life, and suddenly she feels she’s failing at everything. Her daughter Hazel is becoming more and more distant, her son Jacob is struggling to find where he fits in the world, and the menacing spectre of Jess’s older brother, someone she cut out of her life years ago, begins to make his presence felt again.

Jess knows she’s the only one who can keep her family together, but how can she keep going when life keeps beating her back?

Set on the streets of East London, These Streets is a searing and powerful novel that explores how we are meant to find our place in a world that is designed for only the privileged to succeed. Beautiful and honest, it is an essential story about living in Britain today.

These Streets by Luan Goldie, read by Sara Novak and James Hillier

Last night, in a televised hearing, the <a href="https://www.economist.com/united-states/2022/07/21/the-january-6th-committee-has-hobbled-donald-trump" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">committee</a> investigating the events of January 6th 2021 charged Donald Trump with “dereliction of duty” for failing to stop his supporters’ attack. The evidence was strong; whether it will change anything remains unclear. We examine the thinking behind the European Central Bank’s surprise half-point rise in interest rates. And the money motivations of Bangladesh’s loosening booze laws.

Duty unbound: the January 6th hearings

“Sublime and immersive . . . If you wish you could disappear to a Greek island right now, I highly recommend.”
—Jojo Moyes, #1 bestselling author of Me Before You

“This gorgeous, glimmering summer read is itself perfect summer: irresistible and deep, Samson's lyric sentences pulling you into unforgettable sunlight and shadow.”
—Amy Bloom, New York Times bestselling author of White Houses

It’s 1960, and the world teeters on the edge of cultural, political, sexual, and artistic revolution. On the Greek island of Hydra, a proto-commune of poets, painters, and musicians revel in dreams at the feet of their unofficial leaders, the writers Charmian Clift and George Johnston, troubled queen and king of bohemia. At the center of this circle of misfit artists are the captivating and inscrutable Axel Jensen, his magnetic wife Marianne Ihlen, and a young Canadian ingenue poet named Leonard Cohen.
 
When eighteen-year-old Erica stumbles into their world, she’s fresh off the boat from London with nothing but a bundle of blank notebooks and a burning desire to leave home in the wake of her mother’s death. Among these artists, she will find an unraveling utopia where everything is tested—the nature of art, relationships, and her own innocence.
 
Intoxicating and immersive, A Theater for Dreamers is a spellbinding tour-de-force about the beauty between naïveté and cruelty, chaos and utopia, artist and muse—and about the wars waged between men and women on the battlegrounds of genius. Roiling with the heat of a Grecian summer, A Theater for Dreamers is, according to the Guardian, “a blissful piece of escapism” and “a surefire summer hit.”

A Theater for Dreamers by Polly Samson Read by Polly Samson - Audiobook Excerpt

In life’s stormy waters, it’s your friends who keep you afloat…

Maddy Wolfe’s life has just capsized. After her twenty-year marriage suddenly implodes, she heads to Brighton to search for her estranged son, Jamie. But he’s nowhere to be found and for the first time, she’s totally alone. That is, until she meets the Salty Sea-Gals, a group of feisty sea-swimmers.

Seventy-two-year old Helga is determined not to slow down, while thirty-something Tor is still figuring out who she is. Bereaved Dominica is trying to find a reason to carry on, and busy mum Claire is learning to put herself first for a change.

As their regular cold-water plunges become a lifeline for them all, Maddy starts to realise that these brave women might just help her find both Jamie and herself. Together, will they turn the tide?

Lifesaving for Beginners by Josie Lloyd, read by Lucy Scott

From Alexandra Christo, the author of To Kill a Kingdom, comes Princess of Souls, a Rapunzel-inspired YA fantasy romance about a teen witch groomed to steal souls for an immortal king and the reckless, rebellious boy to whom her fate is tied.

For 16 years, Selestra has been trapped in her tower on the Floating Mountain, preparing to take her mother’s place as the king's witch, who foretells deaths in the Festival of Predictions. Outrunning your fate earns a wish and the chance to steal the king’s immortality. But die and your soul is forfeit. And though thousands have tried, nobody has ever beaten death.

A soldier in the king's army, Nox is an unlikely candidate for the Festival, but, driven by revenge, he is determined to steal the king’s immortality and kill the entirety of his court, starting with Selestra.

Yet when Selestra touches Nox in her very first prediction, their fates become entwined, and death seeks to take both their souls. Only by working together can they survive long enough to escape the dark fate and the immortal king that now hunts them.

Princess of Souls Chapter 3 by Alexandra Christo, Narrated by Suzy Jackson & Will Collyer

A recent history of the Democratic Party that identifies its chronic errors—the “pathologies” of the New Democratic mindset—and argues urgently against a return to the status quo

Why did the Democrats initially abandon their principles, and why haven’t they been able to grasp that they need a new strategy in the face of decades of diminishing returns? In Chaotic Neutral, political scientist Ed Burmila breaks it to us, tracing the party’s metamorphosis from bold defender of labor rights, civil rights, and a robust social safety net to a timorous, ideology-free, regulation-averse lifestyle brand.

Chaotic Neutral tracks the evolution (or devolution) of the Democratic Party from the New Deal era to Biden’s status-quo candidacy and the pandemic, when, even in the midst of a national crisis, the Democrats could not manage to pass sweeping progressive legislation. It is a timely analysis and, simultaneously, a timeless one that pinpoints why Dem politicians act like also-rans even when they’re in power.

Burmila doesn’t pull any punches as he describes the Democrats’ brand of futility politics, but he also doesn’t claim that all is futile, instead laying out a potent strategy for how the party might abandon its lesser-of-two-evils strategy and shift back into drive.

Listen to an excerpt from THE FORTUNES OF JADED WOMEN by Carolyn Huynh, read by VyVy Nguyen - a Good Morning America Book Club pick!

THE FORTUNES OF JADED WOMEN Audiobook Excerpt

Authoritarian regimes in many countries, and the men that lead them, depend on the international management of licit and illicit funds under their control. Frank Vogl shows that curbing their activities for their kleptocratic clients is critical to secure democracy, enhance national security, and ensure international financial stability.

Audiobook: The Enablers:

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER &bull; Wild, dangerous, and flat-out unbelievable, here is the incredible memoir of the actor, gambler, raconteur, SNL veteran, and one of the best stand-up comedians of all time. &#160; As this book&rsquo;s title suggests, Norm Macdonald tells the story of his life&mdash;more or less&mdash;from his origins on a farm in the-back-of-beyond Canada and an epically disastrous appearance on Star Search&#160;to his account of auditioning for Lorne Michaels and his memorable run as the anchor of&#160;Weekend Update on Saturday Night Live&mdash;until he was fired because a corporate executive didn&rsquo;t think he was funny.&#160;But Based on a True Story is much more than a memoir; it&rsquo;s the hilarious, inspired epic of Norm&rsquo;s life. &#160; In dispatches from a road trip to Las Vegas (part of a plan hatched to regain the fortune he&rsquo;d lost to sports betting and other vices) with his sidekick and enabler, Adam Eget, Norm recounts the milestone moments, the regrets, the love affairs, the times fortune smiled on his life, and the times it refused to smile. As the clock ticks down, Norm&rsquo;s debt reaches record heights, and he must find a way to evade the hefty price that&rsquo;s been placed on his head by one of the most dangerous loan sharks in the country. &#160; As a comedy legend should, Norm peppers these pages with classic jokes and fondly mythologized Hollywood stories. This wildly adventurous, totally original, and absurdly funny saga turns the conventional &ldquo;comic&rsquo;s memoir&rdquo; on its head and gives the reader an exclusive pass into the mad, glorious mind of Norm Macdonald. Praise for Based on a True Story &#160; &ldquo;Norm is brilliant and thoughtful and there is sensitivity and creative insight in his observations and stories. A lot of comics over the years have been compared to Mark Twain, but I think Norm is the only one who actually matches the guy in terms of his voice and ability. I seriously f**king love Norm Macdonald. Please buy his book. He probably needs the cash. He&rsquo;s really bad with money.&rdquo;&mdash;Louis C.K., from the foreword &#160; &ldquo;Norm is one of my all-time favorites, and this book was such a great read I forgot how lonely I was for a while.&rdquo;&mdash;Amy Schumer &#160; &ldquo;I always thought Normie&rsquo;s stand-up was the funniest thing there was. But this book gives it a run for its money.&rdquo;&mdash;Adam Sandler &#160; &ldquo;Norm is one of the greatest stand-up comics who&rsquo;s ever worked&mdash;a totally original voice. His sense of the ridiculous and his use of juxtaposition in his writing make him a comic&rsquo;s comic. We all love Norm.&rdquo;&mdash;Roseanne Barr &#160; &ldquo;Norm Macdonald makes me laugh my ass off. Who is funnier than Norm Macdonald? Nobody.&rdquo;&mdash;Judd Apatow &#160; &ldquo;Norm Macdonald is more than a triple threat&mdash;he&rsquo;s a septuple threat. He is smart, funny, wry, rakish, polite, rakish . . . no, wait. He is polite, insightful, and . . . aaaaah . . . warm. No. He&rsquo;s exciting. Yeah. Exciting! You never know what he&rsquo;ll do. Okay, then make that unpredictable. Add that up. He&rsquo;s amazing.&rdquo;&mdash;Alec Baldwin &#160; &ldquo;Norm only has to grunt to make me laugh. And this book is three hundred pages? Sign me up.&rdquo;&mdash;Sophia Amoruso, author of #GIRLBOSS &#160; &ldquo;Norm is a double threat. His material and timing are both top-notch, which is unheard of. He is one of my favorites, both on- and off-stage.&rdquo;&mdash;Dave Attell &#160; &ldquo;David Letterman said it best: There is no one funnier than Norm Macdonald.&rdquo;&mdash;Rob Schneider

Based on a True Story by Norm Macdonald, read by Norm Macdonald, Tim O'Halloran

The final work from the Pulitzer Prize&ndash;winning writer, actor, and musician, drawn from his transformative last days &#160; In searing, beautiful prose, Sam Shepard&rsquo;s extraordinary narrative leaps off the page with its immediacy and power. It tells in a brilliant braid of voices the story of an unnamed narrator who traces, before our rapt eyes, his memories of work, adventure, and travel as he undergoes medical tests and treatments for a condition that is rendering him more and more dependent on the loved ones who are caring for him. The narrator&rsquo;s memories and preoccupations often echo those of our current moment&mdash;for here are stories of immigration and community, inclusion and exclusion, suspicion and trust. But at the book&rsquo;s core, and his, is family&mdash;his relationships with those he loved, and with the natural world around him. Vivid, haunting, and deeply moving, Spy of the First Person takes us from the sculpted gardens of a renowned clinic in Arizona to the blue waters surrounding Alcatraz, from a New Mexico border town to a condemned building on New York City&rsquo;s Avenue C. It is an unflinching expression of the vulnerabilities that make us human&mdash;and an unbound celebration of family and life.
