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.

A compelling listen.
Lloyd’s story begins with his privileged upbringing at Waveny House, an estate that’s now a park in New Canaan, Connecticut. His mature voice reflects a man in his late 80s as he tells his story of an extraordinary acting career on stage, screen, and television. Lloyd neither belabors nor ignores his struggles with alcohol and cocaine. His audiobook has moments of narrative magic, as when he uses his gift for comedy to create sound effects. He neatly covers his most famous roles in the Back to the Future trilogy and his Emmy-winning Reverend Jim on Taxi. His memoir reveals the contours of his life, from studying at the Neighborhood Playhouse to roles in The Addams Family and Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
