    by Italo Calvino

    Over 150 5-Star Reviews!

    Italo Calvino imagines a novel capable of endless mutations in this intricately crafted story about writing and readers.

    If on a Winter’s Night a Traveler turns out to be not one novel but 10, each with a different plot, style, ambience, and author, and each interrupted at a moment of suspense. Together they form a labyrinth of literatures, known and unknown, alive and extinct, through which two readers, a male and a female, pursue both the story lines that intrigue them and one another.

    Lost Boy: The True Story of Captain HookLost Boy: The True Story of Captain Hook
    by Christina Henry

    The author of Alice takes listeners through a dark tale of Peter Pan, who turns his best friend into his nemesis, Captain Hook.

    On an island lives a boy called Peter and his band of merry lost boys, young forever. That is unless they get sick or killed by pirates or eaten by crocodiles or unless – inexplicably – they grow old. For some of them do grow old, and nobody knows why.

    One of these boys is called Jamie, and he was the first boy that Peter ever brought to the island. Jamie’s lived there for longer than he can remember, and it’s not all fun and games. Peter thinks the boys are replaceable, that if one dies or grows up, he can swap in another from the Other Place, the place where he collects new playmates. Jamie looks out for the boys and takes care of them. He does everything Peter does not. Jamie tries to keep them alive because to him they matter. When Peter steals a boy who is too young, Jamie takes the boy under his wing. But Peter won’t have that, for nobody will ever take Jamie from him. Ever.

  • AUDIBLE Deal of the Day 🎧 The Art of Asking

    A new deal every day from Audible. Today’s deal ends 02/07/2018 @ 11:59PM PT.

    The Art of Asking: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Let People HelpThe Art of Asking: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Let People Help
    by Amanda Palmer, Brené Brown (foreword)

    Over 1,500 5-Star Reviews!

    “When we really see each other, we want to help each other."
    –Amanda Palmer

    Imagine standing on a box in the middle of a busy city, dressed as a white-faced bride, and silently using your eyes to ask people for money. Or touring Europe in a punk cabaret band and finding a place to sleep each night by reaching out to strangers on Twitter. For Amanda Palmer, actions like these have gone beyond satisfying her basic needs for food and shelter – they’ve taught her how to turn strangers into friends, build communities, and discover her own giving impulses. And because she had learned how to ask, she was able to go to the world to ask for the money to make a new album and tour with it, and to raise over a million dollars in a month.

    In The Art of Asking, Palmer expands upon her popular TED talk to reveal how ordinary people, those of us without thousands of Twitter followers and adoring fans, can use these same principles in our own lives.
