Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons

Rocking in My School Shoes

I Love My White Shoes

Pete the Cat Saves Christmas

National Bestseller&#160; On November 15, 1959, in the small town of Holcomb, Kansas, four members of the Clutter family were savagely murdered by blasts from a shotgun held a few inches from their faces. There was no apparent motive for the crime, and there were almost no clues.&#160;As Truman Capote reconstructs the murder and the investigation that led to the capture, trial, and execution of the killers, he generates both mesmerizing suspense and astonishing empathy. In Cold Blood is a work that transcends its moment, yielding poignant insights into the nature of American violence.

#1&#160;New York Times&#160;bestselling author and Pulitzer Prize winner Elizabeth Strout continues the life of her beloved Olive Kitteridge, a character who has captured the imaginations of millions of readers. &#160; Prickly, wry, resistant to change yet ruthlessly honest and deeply empathetic, Olive Kitteridge is &ldquo;a compelling life force&rdquo; (San Francisco Chronicle).&#160;The&#160;New Yorker&#160;has said that Elizabeth Strout &ldquo;animates the ordinary with an astonishing force,&rdquo; and she has never done so more clearly than in these pages, where the iconic Olive struggles to understand not only herself and her own life but the lives of those around her in the town of Crosby, Maine. Whether with a teenager coming to terms with the loss of her father, a young woman about to give birth during a hilariously inopportune moment, a nurse who confesses a secret high school crush, or a lawyer who struggles with an inheritance she does not want to accept, the unforgettable Olive will continue to startle us, to move us, and to inspire moments of transcendent grace. Advance praise for Olive, Again &ldquo;There&rsquo;s no simple truth about human existence, Strout reminds us, only wonderful, painful complexity. &lsquo;Well, that&rsquo;s life,&rsquo; Olive says. &lsquo;Nothing you can do about it.&rsquo; Beautifully written and alive with compassion, at times almost unbearably poignant.&#160;A thrilling book in every way.&rdquo;&mdash;Kirkus Reviews&#160;(starred review) &ldquo;Strout&rsquo;s stories form a cohesive novel, both sequel and culmination, that captures, with humor, compassion, and embarrassing detail, aging, loss, loneliness, and love. Strout again demonstrates her gift for zeroing in on ordinary moments in the lives of ordinary people to highlight their extraordinary resilience.&rdquo;&mdash;Publishers Weekly&#160;(starred review) &ldquo;Love, loss, regret, the complexities of marriage, the passing of time, and the astonishing beauty of the natural world are abiding themes. . . .&#160;Unmissable.&rdquo;&mdash;Booklist&#160;(starred review)

Olive, Again by Elizabeth Strout, read by Kimberly Farr

SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE! Set in Depression-era America, a breathtaking story of five extraordinary women and their remarkable journey through the mountains of Kentucky and beyond, from the author of Me Before You and The Peacock Emporium&#160; Alice Wright marries handsome American Bennett Van Cleve hoping to escape her stifling life in England.&#160; But small-town Kentucky quickly proves equally claustrophobic, especially living alongside her overbearing father-in-law. So when a call goes out for a team of women to deliver books as part of Eleanor Roosevelt&rsquo;s new traveling library, Alice signs on enthusiastically. The leader, and soon Alice's greatest ally, is Margery, a smart-talking, self-sufficient woman who's never asked a man's permission for anything. They will be joined by three other singular women who become known as the Horseback Librarians of Kentucky.&#160; What happens to them--and to the men they love--becomes a classic drama of loyalty, justice, humanity and passion. Though they face all kinds of dangers, they&rsquo;re committed to their job--bringing books to people who have never had any, sharing the gift of learning that will change their lives. Based on a true story rooted in America&rsquo;s past, The Giver of Stars is unparalleled in its scope.&#160; At times funny, at others heartbreaking, this is a richly rewarding novel of women&rsquo;s friendship, of true love, and of what happens when we reach beyond our grasp for the great beyond.

DORK DIARIES 14 Audiobook Excerpt

What is loserthink? If you've been on social media lately, or turned on your TV, you may have noticed there are a lot of dumb ideas floating around out there. "We know when history will repeat and when it won't." "We can tell the difference between evidence and coincidences." "The simplest explanation is usually true." "Stay in your channel." Wrong, wrong, dangerous, and wrong! These false beliefs are the result of what Scott Adams, the creator of the Dilbert comic and a lifelong student of group psychology, calls loserthink. Loserthink is the epidemic of sneaky mental habits trapping its victims in their own bubbles of reality. Even the smartest and most educated among us can slip into its seductive grasp. If we're not careful, loserthink would have us believe that every Trump supporter is a bigoted racist, addicts should be responsible for fixing the opioid epidemic, any form of gun control is a slippery slope to full confiscation, and that your relationship fell apart simply because you chewed with your mouth open. This book will teach you how to spot and avoid loserthink before it starts to influence you--and will give you scripts to respond when it's being brandished against you, whether by well-intentioned friends, strangers on the internet, or political pundits. You'll learn the best defense against emotionally powerful but vacuous arguments and how to spot the underlying causes of loserthink, like the inability to get ego out of your decisions, thinking with words instead of reasons, failing to imagine alternative explanations, and making too much of coincidences. Using his patented blend of humor and social satire, along with candid examples of falling prey to loserthink from his own past, Adams offers elegant analytical frameworks for clear thinking, evoking the mental models of scientists, economists, entrepreneurs, and artists. Your bubble of reality doesn't have to be a prison. This book will show you how to break free--and, what's more, to be among the most perceptive and respected thinkers in every conversation.

Loserthink by Scott Adams, read by Scott Adams

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Night Circus, a timeless love story set in a secret underground world&mdash;a place of pirates, painters, lovers, liars, and ships that sail upon a starless sea. Zachary Ezra Rawlins is a graduate student in Vermont when he discovers a mysterious book hidden in the stacks. As he turns the pages, entranced by tales of lovelorn prisoners, key collectors, and nameless acolytes, he reads something strange: a story from his own childhood. Bewildered by this inexplicable book and desperate to make sense of how his own life came to be recorded, Zachary uncovers a series of clues&mdash;a bee, a key, and a sword&mdash;that lead him to a masquerade party in New York, to a secret club, and through a doorway to an ancient library hidden far below the surface of the earth. What Zachary finds in this curious place is more than just a buried home for books and their guardians&mdash;it is a place of lost cities and seas, lovers who pass notes under doors and across time, and of stories whispered by the dead. Zachary learns of those who have sacrificed much to protect this realm, relinquishing their sight and their tongues to preserve this archive, and also of those who are intent on its destruction. Together with Mirabel, a fierce, pink-haired protector of the place, and Dorian, a handsome, barefoot man with shifting alliances, Zachary travels the twisting tunnels, darkened stairwells, crowded ballrooms, and sweetly soaked shores of this magical world, discovering his purpose&mdash;in both the mysterious book and in his own life.

THE WAY I HEARD IT Audiobook Excerpt

In her newest audiobook, best-selling author and founder of Simplified Emily Ley brings a revolutionary exploration of how to live a life of more in a world that often overwhelms to the point of burnout. Emily empathizes with listeners in the throes of exhaustion and provides tools for nourishing their spirits and achieving a life where less becomes more.

Statistics don’t lie. People today are more fatigued, burned out, and overwhelmed than ever. Smartphones constantly ping and alert and demand our attention. And social media can eat up hours of our days with mindless scrolling and tapping while leaving many feeling empty and lonely. Add to that family commitments, work that is accessible around the clock, and overscheduling, and you have a life that can feel unmanageable and frantic...even running on empty.

Emily Ley, author of best-selling Grace, Not Perfection and A Simplified Life, is here to tell you that there’s more - so much more. In this audiobook, Emily Ley takes listeners on a journey out of that empty place and shows them how to fill their wells with the nourishment that only true connection can provide. She also presents some radical concepts that push against the tethers of modern life, with the promise that more of the good stuff comes when we say yes to less of what keeps us empty:

* Less Rush, More Rhythm
* Less Liking, More Loving
* Less Noise, More Calm
* Less Distraction, More Connection
* Less Frenzy, More Soul Rest
* Less Fake, More Real
* Less Fear, More Community
* Less Great, More Good
* Less Chasing, More Cherishing
* Less Stuff, More Treasures 

Getting to more might require some outside-the-box changes, some unraveling of the patterns listeners have adopted, some reworking of the day-to-day so that they can build a life based on their core values instead of slipping into a life dictated by society or what’s “normal”. Because we weren't made for normal. We were made for more - for a life of fullness, dreaming, and lasting joy.

WHEN LESS BECOMES MORE by Emily Ley | Chapter One

The brilliant coming-of-age-and-into-superstardom story of one of the greatest artists of all time, in his own words&mdash;featuring never-before-seen photos, original scrapbooks and lyric sheets, and the exquisite memoir he began writing before his tragic death Prince was a musical genius, one of the most beloved, accomplished, and acclaimed musicians of our time. He was a startlingly original visionary with an imagination deep enough to whip up whole worlds, from the sexy, gritty funk paradise of &ldquo;Uptown&rdquo; to the mythical landscape of Purple Rain to the psychedelia of &ldquo;Paisley Park.&rdquo; But his most ambitious creative act was turning Prince Rogers Nelson, born in Minnesota, into Prince, one of the greatest pop stars of any era. The Beautiful Ones is the story of how Prince became Prince&mdash;a first-person account of a kid absorbing the world around him and then creating a persona, an artistic vision, and a life, before the hits and fame that would come to define him. The book is told in four parts. The first is the memoir Prince was writing before his tragic death, pages that bring us into his childhood world through his own lyrical prose. The second part takes us through Prince&rsquo;s early years as a musician, before his first album was released, via an evocative scrapbook of writing and photos. The third section shows us Prince&rsquo;s evolution through candid images that go up to the cusp of his greatest achievement, which we see in the book&rsquo;s fourth section: his original handwritten treatment for Purple Rain&mdash;the final stage in Prince&rsquo;s self-creation, where he retells the autobiography of the first three parts as a heroic journey. The book is framed by editor Dan Piepenbring&rsquo;s riveting and moving introduction about his profound collaboration with Prince in his final months&mdash;a time when Prince was thinking deeply about how to reveal more of himself and his ideas to the world, while retaining the mystery and mystique he&rsquo;d so carefully cultivated&mdash;and annotations that provide context to the book&rsquo;s images. This work is not just a tribute to an icon, but an original and energizing literary work in its own right, full of Prince&rsquo;s ideas and vision, his voice and image&mdash;his undying gift to the world.

The Beautiful Ones by Prince, read by Esperanza Spalding, Adepero Oduye, Dan Piepenbring

An intimate portrait of two men who cherish the slim bond between them and the dream they share in a world marred by petty tyranny, misunderstanding, jealousy, and callousness. Clinging to each other in their loneliness and alienation, George and his simple-minded friend Lenny dream, as drifters will, of a place to call their own—a couple of acres and a few pigs, chickens, and rabbits back in Hill Country where land is cheap. But after they come to work on a ranch in the fertile Salinas Valley of California, their hopes, like “the best laid schemes o’mice an’ men,” begin to go awry.

Of Mice and Men also represents an experiment in form, as Steinbeck described his work, “a kind of playable novel, written in novel form but so scened and set that it can be played as it stands.” A rarity in American letters, it achieved remarkable success as a novel, a Broadway play, and three acclaimed films. Steinbeck’s tale of commitment, loneliness, hope, and loss remains one of America’s most widely read and beloved novels.
