Ruby Tandoh is an established British foodie from the hit reality TV show "The Great British Bake Off" who now writes about food for a variety of international outlets, including the NEW YORK TIMES. Here she narrates her memoir about the art and act of eating. Tandoh is reverential about rituals related to food. We hear her thoughts delivered in tender, almost dulcet, tones. She pushes beyond what we eat into why, where, and even with whom we do so. This is an ode to Tandoh's personal relationship with food, framed by memories of cooking with her grandmother and by her plea to slow down and enjoy the lost art of eating. Fans of her other work will feel they are getting to know her even better here.

Inspiring collections of Angelou reading her poetry. These selections showcase Angelou's smooth, lyrical voice and her warm vitality. Her innate rhythm celebrates her verse and offers the poems to listeners as they should be remembered. Occasionally Angelou comments between the selections, and occasionally she interjects a resonant laugh.

On the 25th anniversary of 9/11, a deep dive into how unfathomable grief led to charitable purpose.
New York firefighter Stephen Siller lost his life on Sept. 11, 2001, while attempting to rescue people from the burning twin towers. The author, Siller’s brother, tenderly and lovingly tells his story. Justin Siller, the author’s son, provides a straightforward, workmanlike yet strong and heartfelt narration that largely avoids New York City inflections. The audiobook thoughtfully explores the community service-oriented Siller family, the impact of Stephen Siller’s death, and the author’s establishment of the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, which provides mortgage-free homes and other forms of assistance to the families of first responders.
